CGI, other groups to feast

TYLER, Texas--The Church of God International will play host to a Feast of Tabernacles site at Sequoyah State Park, near Wagoner, Okla., beginning Oct. 5. The CGI is sponsoring seven Feast sites this year, but the Oklahoma site is out of the ordinary.

"At least three independent congregations plan to spend the Feast with their CGI brethren," said CGI spokesman Eric Morris.

Involved in the arrangements are CGI home-office elder Vance Stinson and Bill Fowler, pastor of the independent Wichita (Kan.) Church of God. Besides CGI elders speaking at the Feast, independents will address Feastgoers, including Charles Pope and Les Pope of the Fellowship Church of God in Oklahoma City, Frank Marang of the Coffeyville (Kan.) Church of God and Mr. Fowler.

CCG publishes bookabout Sabbatarians

WODEN, Australia--The Christian Churches of God, based here, is accepting advance orders for The Sabbatarians of Siebenburgen, by Samuel Kohn, a rabbi, which concerns the history of the Sabbath-keeping church in Transylvania after the Protestant Reformation.

Rabbi Kohn (1841-1920) deals with an element of the Sabbatarian church and its subsequent conversion to Judaism.

"The importance of the work is that it explains what our early doctrines and practices were and it will help our people to come to grips with their history," said Wade Cox, coordinator of the CCG. "It may force a reevaluation of some Sabbatarian denominations."

Bonne Rook and Thomas McElwain translated the book, which is available for $20. For more information write the CCG at P.O. Box 369, Woden, A.C.T. 2606, Australia.
