The Rev. Elsom Eldridge, an Episcopal priest and Executive Director of the Educational Center here for 21 years, has died at the age of 62 [sic - A. Elsom Eldridge was 64 when he died, 3 months before turning 65. the newspaper got it wrong - from family member].
At the Center he guided the development of non-denominational curriculum designed to emphasize self-awareness in religious education. The curriculum includes theological, educational and psychological understandings, especially the psychology of Carl Jung, who found within the Christian ethos the importance of the human drive for meaning and wholeness. Prior to coming to the Center he was Executive Secretary for Leadership Training for the National (now Executive) Council's Department of Christian Education from 1955 to 1958. He is survived by his wife and three sons. A memorial service was held at Christ Church Cathedral here on May 21.
