The Missionary Sphit in the Augustana Church George F. Hall \ THE MISSIONARY SPIRIT IN THE AUGUSTANA CHURCH The American church is made up of many varied groups, depending on origin, divisions, changing relationships. One of these was the Augustana Lutheran Church, founded by Swedish Lutheran immigrants and maintain­ ing an independent existence from 1860 to 1962 when it became a part of a larger Lutheran community, the Lutheran Church of America. The character of the Augustana Church can be studied from different viewpoints. In this volume Dr. George Hall describes it as a missionary church. It was born out of a missionary concern in Sweden for the thousands who had emigrated. As soon as it was formed it began to widen its field. Then its representatives were found in In­ dia, Puerto Rico, in China. The horizons grew to include Africa and Southwest Asia. Two World Wars created havoc, but also national and international agencies.

Creating the Litmus Test: Abortion, Mainline Protestants, and the Rise of the Religious Right Abstract Scholars and laypeople have become concerned that American religion and politics has increasingly divided between conservatives and liberals, resulting in a "culture war" that leaves little common ground on salient social issues. Drawing on archival and periodical sources and a comparative-historical research design, I seek to understand the causes and consequences of the shifting relationship between religion and politics by examining how large, moderate and mainstream Protestant institutions have struggled to maintain cohesion and prestige throughout the increasingly contentious politics of abortion. In the early-1960s, no Mainline Protestant institutions supported expanding abortion access. Over 1966-1972, all the same institutions released official onouncementspr in support of expanding abortion access. Since this time, particularly from 1987-1992, all these institutions faced increased internal debate over the issue and shifted in conservative directions to varying degrees. I find that the debate around abortion among Mainline Protestant institutions was not generally characterized by polarization around two sides but rather by much consensus, change over time, ambiguity, and often ambivalence toward the issue.

Samuel Laird. D. D. A successor to Doctor Krotel was selected in the person of Rev. Frederick William Conrad of Dayton, Ohio. A native of Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, he had already served parishes in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio, had been an instruc- tor in Wittenberg College and was an associate editor of The Lutheran Observer His work in Lancaster began in March 1862, and immediately his preaching and his pastoral work gave universal satisfaction. He was barely settled in his new situation when he was involved in preparations for a convention of the General Synod of the Lutheran Church in America which was scheduled to convene in Trinity Church on the first of May. On the eve of the convocation the Lancaster Daily Express commented: The meeting will be a very important one and no doubt a very interest- ing one. The delegates are arriving and though there will hardly be so full an attendance as would have been the case but for the national difficulties yet there will be a strong delegation. We understand however that no Southern Synods except Maryland and Kentucky will be represented. When the President of the General Synod gaveled the convention to order on the first of May, there were 258 delegates from the states of Maryland, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Frederick W.

Bishop Charles F. Golden, resident bishop of the Nashville-Birmingham area of the Methodist Church, sent the delegation from Waveland, Mississippi session of the conference. He was concerned because of the nature of the information he was receiving from Jackson and specifically because some of the ministers of his area were among those arrested. Because it was impossible for Bishop Golden to leave annual conference sessions, he sent a delegation of three persons, representing the Methodist General Board of Christian Social Concerns and the Annual Conference Board. The Jackson, Mississippi pastors- the Reverend E. A. Mays and S. L. Webb and Jackson businesswoman Mrs. Clarie Collins Harvey. From observation at the trial and later in conversation with Mrs. Jack Young, wife of the legal counsel, for the riders, Jack H. Young, Sr., Mrs. Harvey determined there would continuing needs that must be met for our “community guests,” since they were determined to remain in jail for 39 days and longer rather than to post bond.

    A HERITAGE OF SERVICE 1948 - 2010 The Lutheran World Federation Department for World Service Jerusalem Program A HERITAGE OF SERVICE 1948 – 2010 The Lutheran World Federation Department for World Service Jerusalem Program TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword, 4 Overview of LWF Jerusalem Program, 6 Timeline of LWF Jerusalem Program, 28 List of Program Directors, 66 Major Donors and Partners Over the Decades, 69 The Lutheran World Federation Department for World Service Jerusalem Program A HERITAGE OF SERVICE 1948 – 2010 Foreword The Jerusalem Program is one of the Lutheran World Federation’s oldest and largest humanitarian programs. It is one of 36 programs operated around the world by the LWF’s Department for World Service, and the 287 employees serving the Palestinian Territories are among the 5,000 World Service staff members globally. The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Jerusalem program has assisted Palestinian refugees and others living in poverty for over 60 years. In 2010, the LWF and its partners celebrate 60 years of LWF management of the Augusta Victoria Hospital and 100 years since the inauguration of the facility. “Augusta Victoria – 100 Years on the Mount of Olives – A Heritage of Service” is the theme for the jubilee events in 2010. The main jubilee celebration is the weekend of 7-9 May, when there will be a special Service of Thanksgiving at the Ascension Church and a Conference on Diakonia, during which participants will examine the history, theology, and future of diakonia at the Augusta Victoria facilities. In this brief booklet, I hope to provide readers a glimpse of the remarkable history of the LWF’s work in the Middle East, an overview of the current LWF operations in the area, 4 and some insights into the challenges and opportunities before us.

  • Status Seekers
    STATUS SEEKERS: LONG-ESTABLISHED WOMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS AND THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES, 1945-1970S DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caryn E. Neumann, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Susan M. Hartmann, Adviser Professor Donna Guy Professor Warren Van Tine ______________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT This dissertation is an examination of four long-established American women’s organizations that were active in the decades immediately following World War II. It is part of growing body of work that places the roots of second wave feminism in the decades prior to the 1960s. The focus of this dissertation is the non-college student, non- radical women who addressed the main social movements of the postwar era by promoting civil rights and feminism. These organized women were targeted by conservative critics who employed the anti-communist hysteria of the Cold War in a largely unsuccessful attempt to stifle liberal activism. Each organization focused on a agenda that gradually expanded to include civil rights and feminism. They are feminist precursors. Each group in this study formed prior to World War II to address one of the major aspects of American life: work, education, family, and religion. The American Nurses Association (ANA) saw itself as chiefly a labor organization. Because the vast majority of nurses were of women, the ANA discovered that it could not promote better nursing and improved working conditions without elevating the status of women workers and without addressing the issue of racism within health care.
