Biographical Note Paul Milford Abels (1937-1992), American minister, was born in Yellow Springs, Ohio, son of James Albert Abels and Carrie M. Atkins. One of the first Methodist pastors to acknowledge publicly his homosexuality, Abels a pioneer in AIDS activism and a link between the church and several support groups and organizations. Abels received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Drew University in 1959 and his Master of Divinity in 1963, also from Drew, the same year he was ordained elder in the Methodist Church. He also earned a master of sacred music degree from Union Theological Seminary in 1965. From 1964 to 1969, he worked for the National Council of Churches. From 1969 to 1973, he founded Provo Muse, the first non-profit performing arts management company in the United States, served as Music Director for churches in New York and New Jersey, and directed Westbeth Artist's Housing, New York' s largest artists' community. In 1973, Abels was appointed pastor of Washington Square Church in Greenwich Village, New York City. His involvement in the anti-war movement, embrace of people from all racial backgrounds, and the support he showed for several social groups and organizations were some of the reasons Washington Square Church was called " The Peace Church." Two years later, he founded Affirmation, the "national Methodist gay caucus," hoping to bridge the gap between the church and the gay and lesbian community. An avowed homosexual, he performed "covenant ceremonies" for same-sex marriages, knowing the church's stance towards gay and lesbian couples. Abels served Washington Square Church until he retired in 1984, the same year the United Methodist Church barred openly lesbian and gay men from pastoral appointments. For the next eight years, he moved to Rensselaerville, New York, with his long time partner, Thomas Hunt. Together they restored historic Catalpa House and turned it into a bed and breakfast. Paul also committed himself to Equinox, a non- profit organization in Albany where the homeless, drug and alcohol abusers, battered women, and those suffering from AIDS found shelter. The 1989-1990 edition of Who's Who in the East saw his lifetime of dedication to people, the church, and humanitarian organizations, formally recognized. After years of health complications due to AIDS, Abels died on March 12, 1992. Memorial services were held at Washington Square United Methodist Church ten days after his death, and at Rensselaerville Presbyterian Church a month later. Scope Note The Paul Abels Collection embodies a time period of constant change-- culturally and ecumenically--documenting his controversial life in and out of United Methodism. Paul Abels' career as a Drew University Page 1 Madison, New Jersey Electronic Guide to the Paul Abels Collection writer began before he left for college. He was editor-in-chief for his high school newspaper, and had a column in the local newspaper, the Cedarville Herald, called "Just Thinking," several of which are found here. As his writing matured, he managed to contribute some his articles and essays, a few of which are scattered throughout the collection. However, Abel's writing reached a hiatus when he entered the ministry. The highlight of the collection for United Methodist history is his declaration of his homosexuality as a minister and subsequent fight for the rights of gays, both clergy and lay, within and beyond United Methodism. Abels was also a voice for AIDS research and its societal impact which is well documented throughout the collection. Music and the Arts which were an important aspect of his life as well claim another major part of his papers. There are records pertaining to his education and family's genealogy. Abels' records of his ministry, sermons preached and documentation of his trips abroad round out the collection. Arrangement Material has been arranged in the following manner. The Paul Abels Collection is arranged with Abel's original filing system intact. With the exception of the first few folders, the rest of the collection has an alphabetical file folder system.

  • Methodists in Search of Unity Amidst Division
    Methodists in Search of Unity amidst Division: Considering the Values and Costs of Unity and Separation in the Face of Two Moral Crises: Slavery and Sexual Orientation [Presented at the Oxford Institute for Methodist Studies, August 2007.] By Bruce W. Robbins [Author’s Note: This paper will undergo revision in the fall of 2007. The revised copy will be posted on the Oxford Institute website when completed.] Introduction For the last decade and more, The United Methodist Church (UMC) has been facing conflict caused by contrasting views of a moral issue: whether or not persons who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender (LGBT)1 should be welcomed as others into the UMC as lay members or as clergy. The debate has been distressing to all in the church , for many because it has prevented debate and action on many of the other issues associated with Christian ministry. During the last four years, the debate has evolved into intense discussion of ecclesiological issues and has led some members to question the value of maintaining unity within the UMC, or to wonder whether it would be better and, perhaps, more faithful to separate into different institutional structures. Nearly two centuries ago, the church faced another major divide over a moral issue- slavery. Alongside many differences between the two historical contexts, there are also similarities that church members faced, similarities that can be seen through the debates and actions within the annual and general conferences of the church. The slavery debates in the 1830s and 40s culminated in several splits in Methodism, the largest of which, in 1844, saw no reunion until ninety-five years had passed.

Rutgers School of Law–Newark Immigrant Rights Clinic The Clinical Program at Rutgers School of Law–Newark is designed to provide law students the opportunity to work on actual cases and projects and to learn essential lawyering skills, substantive and procedural law, professional values, and applied legal ethics. The program is one of few free legal service providers in New Jersey. All of the legal clinics help fill large voids in service coverage for low-income and underrepresented persons and communities throughout Newark and the greater New Jersey area. Launched in January 2012, the Immigrant Rights Clinic (IRC) at Rutgers School of Law–Newark serves the local and national immigrant population through a combination of individual client representation and broader advocacy projects. Under the supervision of Professor Anjum Gupta, students in the IRC represent immigrants seeking various forms of relief from removal, including asylum; withholding of removal; relief under the Convention Against Torture; protection for victims of human trafficking; protection for battered immigrants; protection for victims of certain types of crimes; protection for abused, abandoned, or neglected immigrant children; and cancellation of removal. Students also engage in broader advocacy projects on behalf of organizational clients, primarily immigrant rights organizations. This report is the result of one such project. Working under the supervision of Professor Gupta, and on behalf of the American Friends Service Committee, the following law students assumed primary responsibility for the production of this report: Nicole D. Finnie, Roman Guzik, and Jennifer J. Pinales. b.
