Stone represented the diocese of North Carolina as a deputy at the Episcopal Genera! Convention which was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, September 4-15. According to Dr. Stone, the high light of the convention was his par ticipation in a broadcast on Town Aleeting of the Air. He was honored as being the only deputy at the convention to serve on the broadcast, which consisted of a panel of Dr. Stone and the Rev. James A. Pike, dean of the Ca thedral of St. John Divine in New A"ork City. The topic of their panel discussion was “How Real is Our Religious Revival.” For about twenty minutes the two answered questions which the announcer asked them. Then they answered cjiiestions which came from the floor. This was the only radio broad cast which featured the convention. It was broadcast over 300 stations across the nation by the American Broadcasting Company. Dr. Stone has received letters from all over the United States commenting on his participation on the panel. The General Convention controls the constitution and canons of the Episcopal Church. Its main job is to establish the budget of the church for the next three years. The convention meets every three years. In 1952 Dr. Stone attended the convention which was held in Boston. Because of this previous association with the Con vention, Dr. Stone was picked as a member of the committee on the General Theological Seminary. This was indeed an lionor as only about one-third of the delegates are ap pointed. St. Alary’s should be extremely proud of Dr. Stone for his honorable participation in this convention.
