Then on Thursday, civil rights leader and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young was installed as the NCC's president in a colorful and moving ceremony.

But throughout the week, the NCC also struggled with managing longstanding financial problems. The council, which is trying to trim its somewhat cumbersome structure, could not arrive at a definitive budget for 2000. Instead, the council received a $71 million working financial plan on Friday that calls for cutting 44 full- and part-time positions from the NCC's staff of about 120. Just after being elected, the Rev. Mr.

Edgar told the council's legislative body not to get caught in up in the financial problems of the NCC. "The real work is to vision the ecumenical movement day by day, month by month, year by year," he said. Asking the group of about 200 people to join hands, the Rev. Mr. Edgar told them to "look around the room, look at our unity and our diversity.

Recognize that we are holding hands in common concern and common vision. "Let us touch that deep well of hope that we all share," he said. The Rev. Mr. Edgar, 56, president the School of Theology at Clare-mont, officially takes his new job on Jan.

1, replacing the Rev. Ms. Campbell, a Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) minister. Both Rev. Edgar and Mr.

Young said after the meeting they were pleased with the steps the council took to get its finances in order. "If the National Council of Churches is going to be relevant in the next 50 years, it must build on the past and it must envision a structure that is efficient, realistic and flexible," the Rev. Mr. Edgar said. delphia from 1974-87, was named the council's general secretary as its four-day meeting concluded.

The council of 35 Protestant and Orthodox denominations, representing more than 50 million people, came to Cleveland to celebrate the ecumenical group's founding here 50 years ago. Through the decades, the NCC has been committed to peace and justice issues. The council in recent years created a fund to rebuild black churches that were burned, and outgoing general secretary, the Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, accompanied Jesse Jackson on his successful trip to free three U.S. soldiers in Yugoslavia.

The highlight of this week's convention was a meeting between South Korean survivors of an alleged mass killing of civilians by U.S. troops during the Korean War and a few soldiers who were at the site, a iDttcet AKEMON Esther Kestter, loving wife of Emmanuel Akemon, beloved mother of deAon Akemon, also survived by sisters, brothers, other relatives and friends.
