Following supper, the group met again en masse for reports on the three afternoon section meetings. The discussion continued, trying to summarize the arguments and to identify clearly the exact nature of the many problems which had been raised.

Time was found during the consultation for social activities such as organized athletics, strolling and hiking about the beautiful hilly surroundings, and for general conversations during and after the leisurely mealtimes.

Sunday morning, the Rev. Smith led a simple, but thought-provoking, worship service. After a break, the group met to discuss the question, "where to go from here?" It was agreed that the weekend had been highly enlightening and inspiring for all attending and that the participants wished to be a part of future meetings and discussions, that a formal organizing of the group should now be pursued in order to more effectively advance its goals.

The final meeting, on Sunday afternoon, featured Dr. Fred J. Goldstein,

Psychologist from Beverly Hills. He presented a Judaic point of view on sex, and expressed personal doubt concerning the possibility of a reconciliation between the church and homophiles.

In general, the Consultation served to bring the homophile community in close contact with members of the clergy, thereby establishing an understanding of the two groups and helping them to see each other's problems.

Ministers saw that homosexuals were not, of necessity, immoral or sick, and homophiles saw that although an individual minister might be sympathetic, he is bound by traditions and opinions of his church and its members and

is often unable to speak out as much as he would like to. Both groups profited immensely and departed with the feeling that so encouraging a coming together as this had been bode well for the further exploration of highly significant human problems by this young and growing organization.
