CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL FUND
Presbyterian Church of Otago and Southland The Presbyterian Church of Otago and Southland is planning to erect a new Theological Hall and to augment scholarship funds to assist students in training for the ministry as its memorial to the pioneer settlers of Otago and Southland. Such a memorial is singularly fitting, since the pioneers valued the ministry of the Church and early sought to make provision for the training of a New Zealand Ministry with standards similar to those generally accepted in Scotland.
A Theological Hall was established in Dunedin in 1876. The growth of the Theological Hall Library and the increased number of staff and students make the provision of adequate accommodation an urgent necessity.
The Synod of Otago and Southland is, therefore, appealing to the ireople of Otago and Southland and to the exOtago and Southland people now living north of the Waitaki for the sum of £75,000 to enable the church to erect a new building and so make the best possible provision for the training of the future ministers of the church.
The financial appeal is being launched
ki most congregations in July and will be carried out systematically for at least three - months. It is intended that every Presbyterian family in Otago and Southland should be given the opportunity of contributing to the Memorial Fund.
