Series 2: Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions (FDLC), 1965 - 1993

This series includes correspondence, meeting minutes, agenda, research, and drafts relating to Bethune's involvement in the FDLC, nationally and regionally.

Materials in 2.1--National Meetings reflect Ade Bethune's attendance at national meetings of the FDLC, along with her participation on the planning committee for the convention in Boston (1975). The contents of the Boston file contain drafts of the white paper, "Parish Liturgy American Style." The files for Memphis (1998) contain information regarding her receiving the Frederick R. McManus Award.

In 2.2--Art and Architecture Commission are documents from Bethune's time on the commission, especially related to a planned booklet of art and architecture guidelines.

The contents of 2.3--Region 1 (New England) contain mostly correspondence with then-Rev. James P. Moroney, who was the regional representative of the FDLC, but the topics are not necessarily limited to regional business.
