In its early stages the group was referred to as a coalition for social progress at General Conference. Of the 47 attending the meeting here in February, 13 were lay persons and 20 were women. Participants came from 14 states and four jurisdic-tions. The group named a 16- member steering committee and asked the Rev. John A. Collins of New Rochelle, N.Y., to convene the first meeting. Collins is a staff member of the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility, which is related to the National Council of Churches, and a co-president of the Methodist Federation for Social Ac-tion (MFSA).

The recommendation is to be circulated in the church for reaction, with the GCOM making a final recommendation in November for transmittal to the 1980 General Conference for its decisive action next April. Recommended ten-tatively to accompany the priority in 1981-84 are five "special" ' programs, a new category.

He said special efforts will be made to have youth visit the con-ference over the middle weekend of the two-week meeting. This would provide opportunity for them to see the conference in business sessions, legislative sessions, and would also allow them to participate in major events such as worship services, celebration of the Bicentennial of the Church School and "Indiana Night." Mr. Cottrill said the visitation program is not to be construed as a "youth caucus." "The purpose of our program is to expose youth to the highest legislative body of their church and to reflect on that process." he said.
