Dr. Tink Tinker In November 2017, Dr. Tink Tinker (wazhazhe, Osage Nation), Iliff’s Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions, retired after 32 years of service. A member of the faculty since 1985, his publications include American Indian Liberation: A Theology of Sovereignty (2008); Spirit and Resistance: Political Theology and American Indian Liberation (2004); and Missionary Conquest: The Gospel and Native American Genocide (1993). He is co-editor of Native Voices: American Indian Identity and Resistance (2003), and Fortress Press’ Peoples’ Bible (2008). Dr. Tinker regularly taught The History of Christianity and the Modern World, American Christianity and Indian Genocide, and Race, Gender, Class: Historical, Sociological and Scientific Analysis of Individual, Institutional, and Systemic Racism in the Modern World. Dr. Tinker volunteered in the Indian community as (non–stipendiary) director of Four Winds American Indian Survival Project in Denver for 25 years. In that capacity he functioned in the urban Indian community as a traditional American Indian spiritual leader. His work with Four Winds also led to the Rocky Mountain Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America returning of land and establishing a relationship with the Native community at Four Winds. Firmly committed to the ecumenical movement, Dr. Tinker is past president of the Native American Theological Association and is a member of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians. He has been active in volunteer capacities with several denominations at the national level and the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches. He served as an “Honorary Advisor” to IMADR, the International Movement Against All Forms of Discrimination and Racism; and he also serves locally on the Leadership Council of the American Indian Movement of Colorado. At Iliff, Dr. Tinker served as a key mentor to all students and particularly to students of color. Hazel Miller and the Hazel Miller Band have been among the premier jazz, R&B, Blues ensembles in Colorado for the past 30 years. Ms. Miller has been featured in everything from Governor Hickenlooper’s inauguration to television audiences reaching 180 million viewers. You can learn more about her at www.hazelmiller.biz. The graduating class is honored to invite her to help us honor all this year’s anniversaries by performing the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s beloved “If I Can Help Somebody.” 5 MASTER OF ARTS Keely Autumn Hinshaw McCabe B.A., Hanover College with distinction J.D., Florida Coastal School of Law MASTER OF ARTS IN PASTORAL AND SPIRITUAL CARE Marcia Lynne Meier B.A., University of Northern Colorado M.S.S., University of Denver M.Div., Iliff School of Theology Berry Daniel Wilson B.B.A., Kennesaw State University M.B.A., The University of Georgia MASTER OF ARTS IN SOCIAL JUSTICE AND ETHICS Quinton Raymond Bobb B.C.C.M., The King’s University Emily Sepulveda Wheeland B.A., Oregon State University Tessa Munson Wood B.A., Naropa University MASTER OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES Aaron Edwards Brown B.A., Colorado College Anna Elizabeth Burch B.S., Presbyterian College María de Lourdes Calderón Universidad Bíblica Latinoamericana, Costa Rica M.

  • John Wesley Iliff, and Theological Education in the West
    Methodist History, 24:2 (January 1986) JOHN WESLEY ILIFF, AND THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN THE WEST r J. ALTON TEMPLIN t I When we discuss The Iliff School of Theology, we are often asked about the meaning of the name. Because the name is not common in most Ir ! parts of the country, there are many mispronunciations as well as misspell­ f ings. The name "Iliff" is actually a family name, associated with the earliest history of the Colorado Territory. It is possible that it was originally spelled "Oeliff" or "Ayloff," and was derived from that part of England controlled by the Vikings in the ninth century. At any rate, the origin of the name seems to have been in eastern England, according to all the family tradi­ tions that have been located. l To document these assumptions will take more detailed research. The memory and the name of the original Iliff forebear in Colorado are preserved in a town in northeastern Colorado, in an Avenue in Denver, and in the United Methodist theological school SCi: which bears his name. Since this theological school plays a significant role in the develop­ ment of the church, and especially Methodism, in the western part of our nation, we need to see how the vision of Mr. Iliff came to be a reality. Who were the leaders of the school at the beginning? We shall note five f" l' _I major personalities: John Wesley Iliff; his second wife, Elizabeth Iliff; i , f ' 1 ; Bishop Henry White Warren; William Seward Iliff; and Miss Louise Iliff.

  • History of Methodism in Denver by John Alton Templin
    INTRODUCTION The Work of Dr. Metcalf As this work is undertaken, there are two research projects completed already on the history of the early Methodist Church in Colorado. In August, 1948, Dr. Kenneth E. Metcalf completed his dissertation The Beginnings of Methodism in Colorado, treating essentially, the years 1859-1863.1 Dr. Metcalf has completed a masterful task, made even more difficult by the scarcity of early records, and complete histories of the various churches. He has given new life to many men who had become little more than names in Conference Journals, and new meaning to statistics filed away and almost forgotten. Especially noteworthy was his treating of the early history of the state, that the Methodist development might be seen to unfold in its natural environment, and have coherence, as well as its true relationship to the state‟s development as a whole. Perhaps some explanation as to the specific dates which are chosen would be in order. It was on July 3, 1859, that Rev. William H. Goode preached in what is now the city of Denver.2 It is following the work of Goode and his associates, Jacob Adriance, that the Methodist Church was permanently organized in Denver. However, a Methodist service had been held several months before (in the fall of 1858) by a George W. Fisher, in cabins, saloons, or preaching in the open air.3 The Rocky Mountain Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized July 10, 1863, with Bishop Edward R. Ames presiding.4 It is this most important era of Methodism with which Dr.

    Methodist History, 58:1 & 2 (October 2019 & January 2020) THE FOUNDING OF THE WomAn’s foreign missionAry soCiety AnD the Beginnings of Boston university Dana l. robert In March of 1869, Edwin and Lois Parker sailed to Boston, on furlough from their missionary work in India. There they reunited with William and Clementina Butler, the founders of American Methodism’s mission to India. As the missionary couples chatted with local members of the Tremont Street Church, the oppression of women in India was on everyone’s minds. Could not American women mobilize to do something about the spiritual and physical needs of Indian women? And so pastors read from the pulpit the following Sunday that on March 23, interested women should meet with Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Parker at Tremont Street Church, to found a women’s missionary society. March 23 came with a terrible rain storm. Only six women made it to the Tremont Street Church that afternoon for the meeting with the two missionaries. But the determined women launched a women’s society and called another meeting for the next week. Despite more heavy rain, a larger group of women met on March 30 to adopt a constitution for the “Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church” (WFMS).1 From these humble beginnings grew the most powerful, influential, and 1 Early chronologies of these events include Frances J.

    Redskin, Tanned Hide: A Book of Christian History Bound in the Flayed Skin of an American Indian: The Colonial Romance, christian Denial and the Cleansing of a christian School of Theology* Tink Tinker (wazhazhe / Osage Nation) [email protected] “…a priceless vestment for the teachings of brotherly love.” — Rocky Mountain News, 1934, describing the History of Christianity book bound in the skin of an American Indian. Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Religion Volume 5, Issue 9 (October 2014) ©Sopher Press (contact [email protected]) Page 1 of 43 For eighty years, the Iliff School of Theology proudly and publicly displayed a volume bound in the skin taken from an American Indian killed by a quaker settler in western Virginia.1 As an American Indian scholar, the macabre topic of this essay touches me in a way immeasurably more deeply than it can even the most sensitive and self-aware euro-christian on this continent.2 It touches the nerve center of abject horror that we Indian folk must suppress and *I would like to acknowledge the broad sources of critique and help in writing this essay. My wife, Dr. Loring Abeyta, put a great deal of time into this project, both in engaging primary research and creatively in helping me with producing text. A number of colleagues at Iliff, including especially Dr. Julie Todd, and current student Debra Stinnett, also contributed generous editing energies. I received great encouragement from Iliff students like Natasha Drake, who is working on a collateral essay, and alumni like Rachel Pater, who spearheaded the graduating class gift idea in 2013.
