From one part-time staff mem­ ber in 1959, the number of full and volunteer staff workers has grown to n. The highest operating budget be­ fore he came was $35,000 In 1962 the budget was $135,000.

Already a graduate of New York Uni- * versify and the University of Cin- eftmati Graduate School, Law­ rence was licensed by Rev Broaddus and sent to the Uni- ' versity of Chicago Divinity School. Ordained pastor ten years ago, Rev. Lawrence served as special There is a program to build a Paylor Memorial Community Center at the newly acquired ad­ jacent 826 Greene Ave. building. But already an active full-time youth center operates at the church. Active Group Rev. Lawrence has created an active leadership group attudbd to the necessity of joining spirit­ ual growth with social respon­ sibility. This necessity becomes apparent to anyone who fills an application for membership i n the congregation. “Are you a registered voter? Are you a member of NAACP?”. These are among questions the applicant is required to answer. The pastor believes that the church has a legitimate concern in the material as well as spir­ itual well-being of the people. So “Antioch's program is gear­ ed to crusade for the good life here and now", while attuned to the eternal. No wonder that Rev. Lawrence has been prominent in issues in­ volving housing, equal job and educational opportunities. He has brought some self-help to the last with his Antioch Education­ al Fund which, in three years, helped 22 students finish or con­ tinue college.
