Do not fill this in! === 1960s === Urbana 61 had a change in format from previous conferences. It featured a "plenary panel" about mission work, a "plenary forum" that involved a question-and-answer time with various Christian leaders, elective courses on specific topics related to missions, missionary sessions, and a pastoral group. The theme was "Commission—Conflict—Commitment." 5,400 students participated in this conference. [[Eugene Nida]], [[Arthur Glasser]], and Urbana veterans David Howard Adeney and Billy Graham were speakers. [[Festo Kivengere]] preached on [[Jacob and Esau]].<ref name="Christ" /> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
