Description |
The Franconia Conference peace committee evolved and changed names during Lapp's time of service. In 1937, it began as the Peace Problems Committee, running concurrently with an Industrial Problems Committee, which was renamed the Peace Service Committee in May 1963. Lapp served on the peace committee 1937-1962, and was chairman most of that time. In 1962 he became chairman of the national peace committee of the Mennonite Church, but continued to serve as a co-opted member of the local committee until about 1970. |
