LocalYW‘
Members At
Ohio Meet
Members of the East Raleigh
Branch Young Women’s Christian
Association, upon their return home
last week, reported to the local
membership on their participation
in another historic Association con
vention in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the city, where in 1910 the
YWCA adapted a statement in
which the organization assumed re
sponsibility to help correct social
injustices, the 33rd national con
vention took major steps in relation
to both the YWCA’s membership
policy and to its commitment to
further racial integration.
In the action on membership, the
convention voted, according to Mrs.
Lillian Freeman, secretary of Com
mittee on Administration and Mrs.
J. A. Boyer, branch director, the
YWCA opened voting righto to all
dues-paying members over 17 years
of age. Previously, they pointed out
voting members had to assent to
the YWCA’s Christian Purpose. The
new policy does require, however,
that all leaders must accept indi
vidual responsibility for furthering
the Christian purpose of the YWCA
in the life of the Association. Lead
ers include members of the board of
directors, professional staff, stand
ing committee and the voting dels*
j gates to the national convention.
In another action, the convention
also took cognizance of the Asso
ciation's concern for further study
on its role and responsibility as a
Christian movement by voting es
tablishment of a national commis
sion to work closely with local As
sociations. The commission will ex
plore what is involved in being a
movement that is both Christian
and open to all women and girls in
communities with wide-spread re
ligious pluralism and many persons
of no religious faith.
The convention also adopted a
mong program priorities for the
next triennim a “deepened recog
nition of the YWCA's responsibil
ity for providing for its members
opportunities to increase their
knowledge of the Christian faith
as a basis for discerning life's
ijpeaning. for making responsible
: personal decisions and for engaging
in civic responsibility and social ac
tion.'’
