METHODIST COLLEGE FOUNDATION
TO HEAR BISHOP KENNETH GOODSON
FAYETTEVILLE—Dr. W. Kenneth Goodson, president-designate of the
United Methodist Church's Council of Bishops, will be the keynote speaker at the kickoff banquet of the Methodist College Foundation's annual loyalty campaign on February 10. The campaign goal is $ 1 2 0 , 0 0 0 .
•
Bishop Goodson is the spiritual and administrative leader of the more than 1,000 ministers and nearly 4 0 0 , 0 0 0 members of the 1 , 3 0 0 churches in the
Virginia Annual Conference.
Elected a bishop in 1964, B i s h o p Goodson was assigned to the Virginia
Conference in July, 1972. In addition to his responsibilities for the church in
Virginia, he holds key denominational leadership positions. He is president of the Board of Discipleship, the largest of the four denominational program agencies. He is also a member of the Board of Higher Education and Ministry and vice-chairman of its Division on Chaplains and Related Ministries.
A graduate of Catawba College, Bishop Goodson received his seminary training at Duke University Divinity School. He is now a trustee of that university— one of seven which have conferred honorary degrees upon h i m .
His ministerial career goes back to 1935 when he was received as a minister-on-trial in the Western North Carolina Conference. He was ordained a deacon in 1937 and an elder in 1939. Prior to being elected a bishop, all of his service except one three-year term as a district superintendent was spent
as a pastor in the Western North Carolina Conference. He served churches in
Oak Ridge, Greensboro, Waaesboro, High Point, Charlotte, and Winston-Salem.
Despite the administrative duties of his office, Bishop Goodson insists that his role is still that of a pastor. He preaches three to four times each week and is one of Virginia's most persistent travelers, visiting churches and church members throughout the state. There are few corners of the Virginia
Conference that he doesn't cross several times a year.
His pastoral concern is combined with a deep social commitment. As bishop in Alabama, he led the church during the civil rights conflicts of the 60s and was instrumental in establishing significant inner-city ministries in the area.
Closely allied with his social concern, however, is an evangelistic fervor. He has often said, "Regardless of what I can do for a man's station in life, if I have not introduced him to Christ, I have missed the mark."
Born Sept. 2 5 , 1912, in Salisbury, Bishop Goodson joined the Methodist
Church at the age of five. In 1937 he married the former Martha Ann Ogburn, and they have three children.

SPRING CONCERT SET
AT METHODIST COLLEGE
The Methodist College Chorus will present their annual spring concert of sacred music by American composers at Reeves Auditorium next Tuesday (March 9) evening at 8 o'clock. Admission is free. Performing with the College Chorus will be two smaller groups, the Vocal Ensemble composed of eight selected singers and the
>
English Handbell Ensemble, now in its second year as a performing group.
The concert will include great choral works from various American historical periods. While some pieces will be sung a cappella, the chorus will be accompanied at various times by piano or organ.
This year's program consists entirely of American music in honor of our country's bicentennial. "One of the foremost Moravian composers of the late 18th century was John Frederick Peter, who served his church at Bethlehem, Pa. , as well as at
Salem (now Winston-Salem), N . C . The chorus will sing his great anthem 'He Who
Soweth Weeping/"said Alan Porter, choral director at Methodist College. "Some of the most popular pieces on the program will be the spiritual 'Tryin
1
to Get Ready,
1
'Magnificent Sanctuary B a n d , ' and the great Ringwald arrangement of 'The Battle
Hymn of the Republic,'"he added. Contemporary American composers represented on the program include Ned Rorem, Lloyd Pfautsch, and Leonard Bernstein. "Perhaps the highlight of the program will be the finale of the oratorio 'The Invisible
Fire,
1
" Porter concluded. It will be performed in its entirety on April 28.
