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 …

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.
