It seems you suffer an almost child- like embarrassment concerning Jour innocent lack of social know- ow. {at rest, with this information: The mannerly, sensible, grown - up way to obtain exact advice about counsellor. are mediate spiritual Presumably you arrangements or the pastor's assistant, to be Should She Invite Friends To Share Spiritual Experience? the propriety of asking friends to am a convert ceremony is simply to such-and-such Church on Sunday, clear the matter with your im-|December 2nd, at 3 o'clock in the achievements | afternoon. making | happy if you could be presen through a pastor,|let me know."

Now, regarding the form of in- vitation: It would seem natural and right to telephone those per- sons to whom you feel really close and write to the others, whom you like and respect and feel greateful to--but don't know so well, Thus you might telephone the former classmate, also the cleric from whom you took religious in- structions five years ago (identify ing yourself afresh, if necessary): also the girl chemist. The Army officer, the college professor and, the college dean qualify for al slightly more formal invitation from a married woman, I think. WHAT TO SAY As for what to say, try the fol- lowing outline for the telephone: "This is Frances Smith and I am going to be received. into such- and-such church on Sunday, De- cember 2nd, in a (private or group) ceremony at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I am asking a few friends to be there, and I spec- ially want you to come." Then any other friendly words that come to your mind; and sign off.
