J G 1941 , U U S , N O . I THE STU DENT CENTER HE for S e C r r campaign the tud nt ente building , which was inaugu ated last r - B Novembe in Wilkes arre , Pennsylvania, is drawing to a close . It has “ ” been relatively successful . Theword successful is used in speaking of this effort because , taking into account actual contributions and pledges , and money contributed to the S eminary in the course of the last year which is available for this project, a total sum Of more than two hundred and thirty l r thousand do la s has been raised . This is no insignificant amount . On the other hand , the success that has attended the campaign must be qualified by ” th r “ e te m relative , in as much as certain special gifts which we had hoped to receive have not materialized up to the present on account Of disturbed h conditions in high business circles . T e new taxation and fears regarding the future led to a postponement of some contributions upon which we had r da ed to count . O ur faith is strong, however, that they will eventually be made . But whether these exceptional gifts are contributed or not, the im portant thing is that the movement for the S tudent Center is gaining momen l tum , that it has met with an unusual response from Princeton S eminary A n um i and many others , and that the need and possibilities of the new building have captured the imagination of a host of friends , new and O ld . By the time these words are read the Official campaign will have ended , n but the unofficial effort will have taken its place , to co tinue until the goal is reached . Because we need a worthy center of community life on this cam pus, we believe that in the not distant future we shall have one , through the blessing Of God and the cooperation of friends whose hearts He touches . nate concern to make sure that all that has been best in the traditions and spirit of our historic clubs shall be per petuated in the common campus home . To adapt reverently an Apocalyptic “ passage from the S criptures : All the glory and honour Of — Benham and r r W fiel r r and — r F ia , Calvin and ar d, Cante bu y Adelphian shall be b ought into it . Nothing from the past that ought to be conserved shall be lost . Many n r thi gs , moreover, which it has been found impossible to accomplish hithe to in the interests of our students and Alumni and the Church at large , because O f r rr f the lack o proper facilities , will , we t ust , be achieved tomo ow when the new S tudent Center has reared its graceful form upon the campus . THE PRINCETON S EMINAR Y B ULLETIN This year two Of the outstanding universities in the country celebrate their r r r r fiftieth annive sa y, S tanfo d and the U nive sity O f Chicago . The years since their foundation have been marked by greater cultural progress in the U nited S - tates than any half century in our history . But, while colleges and universi t r in r r ies have inc eased their equipment an inc edible way du ing that period, and millions of dollars have been contributed by generous Presbyterians for the development of institutions Of secular learning, the chief center for the preparation of the Presbyterian ministry has not had a new building for its own r i f pu poses Since Hodge Hall was erected in 1893. It s, o course , true that r i n the g eatness and usefulness of an educational institu to , very especially a r w eligious institution , can in no ise be measured by anything purely material . At the same time , as the spirit of man needs a body, and an effective church w r r r n f o king unde mode n co ditions needs an adequate plant or its activities, an institution where Chrisitian ministers are trained to meet the complex ' needs of the modern world must be in every sense a worthy expression of the vision and devotion of the Church to which it belongs . This is notime or place for recriminations . It must be recognized, however, that for a good many years official relations between the Presbyterian Church and her seminaries have not been as close or mutually helpful as they ought. Theenthusiasm and generosity of Presbyterians have been diverted to a large extent toward the support of theological institutions of a non- denominational or r r . character, representing trends towards the extreme left the ext eme ight ’ The time has come for a great movement from the center of the Church s of faith and life .

  • Five Solas from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Five solas From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Five solas are five Latin phrases that emerged during the Protestant Protestantism Reformation and summarize the Reformers' basic theological beliefs in contradistinction to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church of the day. The Latin word sola means "alone" or "only" in English. The five solas articulated five fundamental beliefs of the Protestant Reformation, pillars which the Reformers believed to be essentials of the Christian life and practice. All five implicitly rejected or countered the teachings of the then-dominant Catholic Church, which had in the reformers' mind usurped divine attributes or qualities for the Church and its hierarchy, especially its head, the pope.

  • The Lutheran Understanding of Chosen
    THE LUTHERAN UNDERSTANDING OF CHOSEN: THE ELECTION CONTROVERSY IN MIDWESTERN LUTHERANISM AND ITS LASTING RAMIFICATIONS by Rev. Jeffrey A. Iverson A Research Paper Presented to the 2013 Conference of the Lutheran Ministerium and Synod – USA Chetek, Wisconsin ©2013, Jeffrey A. Iverson All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION The Election Controversy touched all of the Lutheran church bodies in the United States, but was felt most strongly among those in the Midwest. It generally pitted the recent Midwest immigrants of a more doctrinally orthodox Lutheran persuasion against those who were either less orthodox, or whose orthodoxy was more of a pietistic bent. It generally set synod against synod, but one group, the Norwegian Synod, was split asunder. When Norwegian immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century began to form Lutheran churches in America, two distinct approaches to church life emerged. Some followed the more pietistic tradition of the Norwegian lay-evangelist Hans Nielsen Hauge and eventually formed Hauge’s Synod. Another group patterned itself after the state-church of Norway and formed the Norwegian Synod. The Norwegian Synod found natural allies in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, led by the great theologian C.F.W. Walther. The Missouri Synod, the Norwegian Synod, the Ohio Synod, the Illinois Synod, the Minnesota Synod, and the Wisconsin Synod formed a church fellowship called the Synodical Conference in 1872. The Ohio Synod left the Synodical Conference over the Election Controversy, as did the Norwegian Synod. A group calling itself the “Anti-Missouri Brotherhood” split from the Nor- wegian Synod in 1887. Pulling together some smaller groups, the Anti-Missouri Brotherhood formed the United Church in 1890, mixing elements of both orthodox and pietistic groups.

  • Martin Luther from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Martin Luther From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Martin Luther (10 November 1483 – 18 Martin Luther February 1546) was a German priest and professor of theology who initiated the Protestant Reformation.[1] He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the emperor. Luther taught that salvation is not earned by Luther in 1533 by Lucas Cranach the Elder good deeds but received only as a free gift of Born 10 November 1483 God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Eisleben, Saxony, Holy Roman redeemer from sin.
