Histoire administrative

The Board of Information and Stewardship was authorized by General Council in 1954 to gather together the literature services of several different Boards and committees, the publicity activities of the Church, the production of audio-visual services, and the education for missions activity. To coordinate these Departments there were Directors of Audio-Visual Services, Broadcasting, and Press and Information, and an Editor of Missionary Education Publications. The cooperative nature of the Board can be seen in its membership: along with a Chairman, Secretary, Associate Secretary and Assistant Secretaries, there were to be representatives of fifteen United Church Boards, societies and publications. The Executive Committee was designed in much the same manner. The Board also enjoyed relations with Conferences, usually through the Conference Communications Committees, Conference and regional literature distribution depots, and regional broadcasting centres. At the centre of the new Board was the creation and activity of Berkeley Studio which opened in 1956. Here were produced the photographs, film and filmstrips, recordings and radio and television productions that promoted the work of the United Church. In 1966 the Christian stewardship function was removed and consolidated with the Missionary and Maintenance Department of the Board of Finance and the name changed to Board of Information. The Board was disbanded in 1968; most of its responsibilities and staff were transferred to the new Division of Communication.
