Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated May 11, 1963 partially reads, "The Rev. Ray DeVries, youthful pastor of Family Reformed Church, Canoga Park, favors a contemporary approach to church matters. "To be effective," he said, "the church must follow a contemporary pattern. If it fails in its witness to the community, it fails in its God-given task." The historical church, Mr. DeVries said, had a tendency to withdraw itself and be satisfied with tradition, oftentimes to the exclusion of its main task to present the gospel to the world."
