PASTORAL LETTER ON CAMPUS MINISTRY
Editorial Committee Meeting
June 3, 1983
Washington, D.C.
All members of the Editorial Committee were present with exception of Bishop
Lyke, who could not attend because of a prior commitment, and Dr. Ludwig who
was to arrive around noon because of a prior commitment. Bishop D'Arcy will
have to leave the meeting at 1:30 p.m. because of a prior engagement.
8:30 a.m. Members of the Editorial Committee gathered for a Continental
breakfast.
9:00 a.m. Chairman Bishop Friend opened the meeting promptly.
9:05 a.m. Bishop Houck led the group in prayer.
9:10 a.m. Bishop Friend introduced COE Chairman, Bishop Hughes to the
Committee members. Bishop Hughes was present to help us launch
the Pastoral, and gave a short introductory statement about himself. Each member then introduced themselves and gave a
brief history of their background and work in campus ministry.
Bishop Hughes gave a background on the origin of the Pastoral
Letter on Campus Ministry, and a description ofthe USCC/NCCB.
Levels of authority within the USCC/NCCB were described in
relation to the chain of approval for the Pastoral. These
levels of authority — the Editorial Committee, the Committee
on Education, the Administrative Board, and ultimately, the
Conference of Bishops, would each play a role in the acceptance
or rejection of the Pastoral. The Editorial Committee will
pass the finished document on to the COE (Committee on
Education). After COE approval, the document is passed on to /
the Administrative Board which, speaking for the Bishops, would
vote to accept or reject the document. Once accepted by the
Administrative Board, the document is then passed on to the
Bishops of the NCCB (National Conference of Catholic Bishops).
After revisions are made and the Pastoral accepted by the NCCB,
the Pastoral will become the sole property of the bishops.
The Editorial Committee was asked to try to recognize the concerns of the bishops in writing the Pastoral. The Committee
will generate most of the information reflected in the Pastoral
and any changes and/or amendments made at the different levels
