  • The Historic St. Francis Street Methodist Church for Sale
    Once in a Lifetime Opportunity – The Historic St. Francis Street Methodist Church for Sale Mobile, Alabama is fortunate to have a large number of historic structures and one of the most interesting, the St. Francis Street Methodist Church is now being offered for sale. Presiding over the intersection of Saint Francis and North Joachim Streets, the St. Francis Street Methodist Church is one of the most historically and architecturally significant buildings in Mobile. It is arguably the finest Aesthetics Movement informed Queen Ann church in lower Alabama. The structure was designed by architect George Watkins of Watkins and Johnson and completed in 1895. The building replaced an earlier 1844 structure which was deemed unfit to accommodate an expanding congregation on account of size and condition. The building is remarkably intact both within and without. Huge windows and a tall steeple are the dominant exterior features. The steeple, once considerably taller, was crowned by an illuminated cross. Featuring ground floor entry, service, office, and educational spaces, the upper-story sanctuary is literally lifted to another plane. Fine Tiffany-like windows illuminate the building’s auditorium. With its artful union of architecture and decoration, the building is testament to fine craftsmanship, as well as an evocative vehicle for the continued revitalization of downtown. The St. Francis Street Methodist Church also has a rather interesting historical connection to Vanderbilt University. Holland Nimmons McTyeire was the minister at the St. Francis Street Methodist Church in the late 1840s and early 1850s. It was here he met his wife, the local Amelia Townsend McTyeire. He became the Methodist Nashville Bishop and was an integral part of creating “Central University” in 1872 as an institution of higher learning to train ministers.

  • History of the Tennessee Conference (UMC)
    History of the Tennessee Conference (UMC) Today’s Tennessee Conference of The United Methodist Church is the merger of more than fourteen conferences and seven denominations. Geographically comprising 42 mid-state counties, it is bounded on the west by the Tennessee River and on the east by the Cumberland Plateau. In 2014, 119,000 persons were mem- bers in more than 600 local churches, with 48,000 persons worshiping God each Sunday. Historical Growth of the Tennessee Conference Initially formed as the Western Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church in 1800, the Tennessee Conference consisted of all lands west of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. The Western Confer- ence was divided in 1812 into the Ohio (the territory north of the Ohio River) and Tennessee (lands south of the Ohio River) Conferences. The rapid growth of Methodism on the frontier, combined with the west- ward movement of an increasingly mobile nation, led to multiple sub- divisions of the Tennessee Confer- ence—Illinois (1816), Indiana (1816), Arkansas (1816), Missouri (1816), Louisiana (1816), Mississip- pi (1816), Kentucky (1820), Holston (1824), Memphis (1840), and North Map shows the “spin-off” of other annual conferences Alabama (1870). of the Methodist Episcopal Church from 1812 – 1870. Bishops Beginning with William McKendree (1808), 26 Tennessee Conference clergy have become bishops in The United Methodist Church and its predecessor denom- inations. At least 15 more bishops have been a parent, sibling, or child of Tennes- see Conference clergy; many more have lived within the bounds of the Tennessee Conference. Nine bishops are buried in Nashville; three on the Vanderbilt Univer- sity campus; five at Mt.

By transforming the standards of the prac- tice of pastoral care and of preaching within the academic community, Pro- fessors Mills and Buttrick contributed significantly to the Divinity School’s mission of educating ministers as theologians. While Liston Mills defined ministry within the framework of pastoral theology and psychology, David Buttrick encouraged students to discover their prophetic voices. We celebrate the service of these two distinguished and beloved professors by naming, in honor of their commitment to the ethos of Vanderbilt University Divinity School, a donor society for congregations.

  • RELIGION, the NEW SOUTH CREED, and HOLLAND NIMMONS MCTYEIRE a Thesis Presented to the Faculty Of
    THE HIGHEST STYLE OF HUMANITY: RELIGION, THE NEW SOUTH CREED, AND HOLLAND NIMMONS MCTYEIRE A thesis presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Western Carolina University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in history By Christopher Michael Bishop Director: Dr. Richard D. Starnes Creighton Sossomon Associate Professor of History History Department Committee Members: Dr. Mary Ella Engel, History Dr. Alexander Macaulay, History Dr. Elizabeth G. McRae, History April 2010 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It was a well-known axiom that writing history is a collaborative endeavor, but I never truly understood how much this was true until I began this project. My intellectual, financial, and emotional debts are numerous and my gratitude to professors, colleagues, friends, and family is limitless. When last summer found me physically disabled, emotionally downtrodden, and intellectually bankrupt, my thesis director Richard Starnes did not give up on me or my thesis long after most sensible professors would have written me off. In addition to providing much needed criticism, questions, and advice, he helped me radically reshape my subject and my argument after I had to start over from scratch after months of fruitless research on another topic. The final narrative, analysis, and argument bear his influence on every page. Dr. Starnes‟ confidence in me and my work never wavered and my gratitude to him as a professor and a friend is indeed profound. My other committee members have likewise had a tremendous influence on me. In particular, I owe Mary Ella Engel a special word of thanks. When I was languishing in census and family records and making absolutely no progress, she sat me down and asked hard questions for a solid hour about the possibilities and viability of the project.
