A History Of The Pacific Northwest District Conference Of The Evangelical Free Church Of America, Robert A. Rapp

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The Evangelical Free Church of America is a merger. It should be noted that the Free Church groups that merged in 1950 to form the Evangelical Free Church of America, each had early beginnings in the Northwest.

The first Free Evangelical witness in the Pacific Northwest occurred in the decade of the 1880s, following the historic meetings of organization at Boone, Iowa, and Boston, Massachusetts in 1884. The first churches of both the Swedish and Norwegian-Danish groups were centered in the Seattle-Tacoma area. Progress and growth were impeded in those early days by language and distance barriers. By the time …

Report On The Chorti-Maya Indians Of Guatemala With Special Reference To The California Friends Mission, Harold Thomas

Historical Quaker Books

The Chorti-Mayan Indians of Guatemala interested me for several reasons. I had lived among them for a year and a half in a work program as a conscientious objector to war. During that time, I became more and more actively involved in the mission program of the California Yearly Meeting of Friends Church. Nearly all my extra time came to be taken up in youth meetings, camping programs and personal friendships.

While a student in the School of World Mission., Fuller Theological Seminary, my interest deepened. During my stay in Guatemala a great many people in one concentrated area accepted …

A History Of The First Unitarian Church Of San Jose, California, Debra N. Dietiker

Master's Theses

The history of the First Unitarian Church of San Jose reveals the church as a microcosm in the macrocosm of Unitarianism and Protestantism in the United States during the last century. Certain themes and tensions have established themselves as they have arisen and been repeated in the history of the San Jose church against the background of Unitarianism and Protestantism in San Jose, in California and in the United States.

Church, Ministry And Mission Fields, Maynard Dorow

Concordia Theological Monthly

The ministry is currently the focus of considerable attention on nearly all Christian fronts. On the American scene this attention has been occasioned in part by the general shortage of clergy. More than this, however, questions are being raised concerning the role of the pastor and the relevance of the ministry as presently conceived for our industrial and urban society.

Christianity Encounters Totalitarianism In Germany, Viola M. Gross

Masters Theses

First paragraph:

The German Church of the twentieth century offers a unique opportunity for study. It has twice faced a totalitarian government and has needed to learn to exist and carry on its witness to the Word of God in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles. The purpose of this paper is to contrast and compare the answer of the Church and the Christian to the National Socialists and to the Communists in East Germany, and to determine if possible if Christianity has learned the way through its desperate struggle in this century to continue its task under a hostile …

"But Right Or Wrong-My Architecture. ", George W. Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Who was it that referred to a recently completed building with the words "It looks as if it were designed by Frank Lloyd Wrong"' What is right in church architecture is always so much a reflection of a proponent's subjective background and experience that comments such as these are like "My country-may she always be right-but my country, right or wrong." A case made for church architecture is usually a case for my architecture.

The In-Service Training Of Sunday School Personnel, Walter J. Schott

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

A thoughtful businessman remarked that he had discovered a new reason for believing that a church is a divine institution. "No other enterprise," he said, "could survive if managed so haphazardly." This statement is so true of the Sunday school. Generally speaking this school is an agency within the church, yet inseparable from t.he church whole. The Sunday school is more than a business enterprise. It is and basically should be a soul saving station, but it is also an educational institution. The affairs with which it must deal, should be of sufficient importance to be efficiently and effectively handled.

The Urban Church In A Transition Community, Vernon Roy Schreiber

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of an urban community which is in the process of changing status upon the life of' a church in that community.

However, before the role of the church in such communities could be examined, the writer felt it necessary to present a brief and admittedly incomplete study of urban social forces upon the individual. This procedure …
