An interview with students
During the summer young Christians of many nationalities are taking part in thirty-four work camps at the invitation of the World Council of Churches. Through work, worship, Bible study, and discussion those who take part in these camps have an opportunity to express their Christian faith in a practical way and at the same time to catch a glimpse of the purpose of God for his Church throughout the world. Work camps are held in Europe, Africa, Asia, and America. During this month twenty campers from twelve countries are working alongside the people of the Clifton Housing Estate, Nottingham, in the building of their parish church.
