She not only insisted that the report which I had begun and then let other interests distract me leaving it partially completed be finished but also she typed my dictation directly into the computer. She encouraged me to include tales of my travels and encounters with many persons and make the results more than a “bare bones” report. The tedious task of reading proof and checking format she also performed with great concern. It can be said without reservation this report would not exist without her motivation. I am also grateful to a friend and colleague, Betty Grandquist, who has had a long and distinguished career in Elder Affairs for the State of Iowa for her willingness to read the copy and make many important comments. Most of all I want to thank the many university students and campus leaders, professors and administrators, clergy and church officials, civic and political leaders, who gave their time to answer my questions as well as host and guide me across two continents in my quest. Preface This report on the survey of “The Role of the Theological Faculty in the Universities of North America and Europe 1957-58,” as informal and unscientific as it was, may still serve as a benchmark for a contemporary study of that “Role” nearly a half-century later. Each institution studied may look at itself and see what has happened. Denominations may also see whether the university setting for at least part of ministerial training is pertinent. The difference between the study of religions and the training of clergy within a specific confession may be noticed in the contrast between yesterday and today. Now, such a study could be conducted electronically and would not require much, if any, travel. I should note that the study was particularly weak in the fact that there were no Baptist universities included and little of North American Lutheran higher education. Yesterday, there were no Pentecostal, Evangelical, or “religious right” universities that came to my attention. Today, there would be such. Are they beginning to distinguish between the academic study of religions and confessional instruction as well as pastoral formation? My own university was Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, which was not included in the study. It was founded and run essentially by clergy of the founding denomination. From Drake graduates came missionaries who spread advanced agricultural methods, medical service, translation of Scriptures and education throughout the world. From its portals came professors and administrators of higher education, leaders in interdenominational organizations such as the International Council of Religious Education, the Federal Council of Churches, the National Council and World Councils of Churches, International Missionary Councils, and leaders of suffrage, peace, race, temperance, labor, migrant and many, many other “good cause” movements. Religious journalism was a great tradition. A Drake graduate founded the Christian Century which became the leading interdenominational journal. Today Drake no longer has a Divinity School or a department of religion. Like all private schools divorced from their founding tradition, it must depend upon government and private foundation grants and contributions from secular sources, plus high tuitions. The role of a theological faculty in non-existent nor is the scientific study of religions an area that would breed income the way the professional schools do. This report can also be mined for anecdotes which tell of the personal lives and interests of many who at one time were well known theologians as well as persons in other fields, few of whom yet survive. 1957-58 was also a time when decisions being made still ricochet into the present. As I studied my notes I amazed myself at some of the almost predictive observations I was led to make after visiting with persons who shared unusual and inclusive information. The Role of the Theological Faculty in the Universities of North America and Europe, 1957-58 I was fortunate to be in the first group to receive a grant administered by the American Association of Theological Schools from the Sealantic Fund of the Rockefeller Foundation. This grant along with a grant from Drake University, plus some borrowing enabled me to undertake a study of the role of theological faculties in universities of North America and Europe during the academic year, 1957-58. The first phase was in North America conducted during the late summer and fall. The second phase was in Europe during the following winter, spring, and summer. My family went with me to Europe and made their home in Tannay, a little village not far from Geneva, Switzerland. The family consisted of Janine who had her second birthday the day we landed in France as well as a case of measles; Maxhn, seven; Milva, ten; and Clayle, twelve. How we got to Europe, family activities and adventures are described fully in Maxine's beautifully written diary to which I would direct you. There also is an article which was published in the Christian Century Magazine, entitled "The Role of the Theological Faculty in the Universities of North America and Europe," which summarizes some of the findings of the study. I will attempt in the following to describe the study and to give an account of my pilgrim's progress over North America and Europe. As a side concern I was interested in how Church History was taught in the various universities I visited, since this was my field of teaching. The calendar for the "Study" was as follows: 1. May 1 - July 30, 1957: Preparation including reading and extensive correspondence. 2. August 30 - November 30, 1957: North American visitation. 3. December 1 - July 30, 1958: European visitation including travel. 4. August 1 - September 1, 1958: Study and correspondence. I attended several meetings which gave me contact with professors and students of many universities. In some of the conferences I spoke or participated. The meetings were as follows: 1. Lutheran Pastor's Conference, Augustana Seminary, Rock Island, IL. 2. World Conference of Lutheran Theological Professors, St. Paul, MN 3. The Triennial Conference of the Inter-Seminary Movement, Oberlin,OH 4. Conference of Professors of Ecumenics, Oberlin, Ohio. 5. The North American Conference on Faith and Order, Oberlin, Ohio. 6. The Regional Study Conference of the American Association of Theological Schools, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa. 7. The Conference of British Theologians on "Theology in the University," Cambridge University, Cambridge, England. Through these conferences I was able to interview students, pastors, and professors from many universities and countries. I was also given access to library sources and excellent files including those of the Carnegie study on ministerial education conducted by Niebuhr, Williams, and Gustafson. The method I used for the study was visitation of universities and interviews with persons from a cross-section of university life such as professors in theology, the humanities, science, law, medicine, as well as students, graduates, and administrators of the university. In North America I visited Yale, Harvard, Boston, and Columbia Universities and associated seminaries; Teachers College and Union Theological Seminary in New York City; Princeton University and Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey; McGill University and related theological faculties in Montreal; the University of Toronto and related theological faculties; Texas Christian, Southern Methodist and Northwestern Universities and their related seminaries; the University of Chicago and the Federated Theological Faculty. In Europe, I visited the Universities of Basel, Geneva, and Zurich in Switzerland; the Universities

März 2009 war Hanfried Müller mit sei- ner »Autobiographie« befaßt, in der ein Kapitel deutscher Geschichte und Kirchengeschichte festgehalten werden sollte. Nicht um seine Person ging es ihm also und schon gar nicht um private Befindlichkeit, wohl aber um eine Geschichtsschreibung, die gesellschaftliche und kirchenpolitische Verhältnisse und Entwicklungen im Fokus persönlicher Erfahrungen und Erinnerungen widerspiegelt. Seine Aufzeichnungen sind ein Torso geblieben. Dennoch enthält bereits der publizierbare Text eine solche Fülle an grundsätzlicher historischer Einsicht und politischer Erkenntnis, daß seine Lektüre weit über den Blickwinkel subjektiver Wertungen hinausträgt. Von Hanfried Müller war, selbstredend, keine Retrospektive zu erwarten, der sich bürgerliches Herrschaftsbewußtsein und schon gar nicht deutsche Kleinbürgerlichkeit akkommodieren könnten. Schließlich verstieß er als Sohn aus »guter Gesellschaft« gegen die ehernen Prinzipien dieser Gesell- schaft; und schon zu seinen Lebzeiten ist ihm sein Klassenverrat niemals verziehen worden. Seine »Erinnerungen« zeichnen nach, warum und wie er und seine Frau Rosemarie Müller-Streisand einen Weg gegangen sind, der - ebenso außer- gewöhnlich wie konsequent - mitten in den Klassenkampf des Kalten Krieges führte, mithin also auch in die Auseinandersetzung mit einem Kir- chenverständnis, dem weitgehend die Signaturen einer konservativen Partei eigneten und das schon deshalb Müllers reformatorische Theologie als Zumutung und Provokation empfinden mußte. Die Aufzeichnungen enden 1973. Die bereits detailliert konzipierten Kapi- tel V.

  • The Waldensian Review
    THE WALDENSIAN REVIEW No. 115 Winter 2009 Editor: Mrs Erica Scroppo Newbury, 85 St Andrew’s Road, Cambridge CB4 1DH. Telephone 01223-315753, email [email protected] From the Editor Dear Friends and Supporters, This is not my usual letter to our beloved and faithful readers. I am of course going to thank you once again for your generosity, for your support, for your thoughts and prayers. I will of course as usual further on let you know about old and new friends, about old and new projects, about Italy and the Walden- sian–Methodist Church. To start with, though, I would like to draw your attention to the growing costs of printing and posting the Waldensian Review. We all agree it is an excellent way to keep in touch, we have fans in at least three continents and I would feel really sad if I had to stop editing and producing this little magazine which is by now an institution, this issue being the 115th! Nevertheless since the dona- tions are dropping and I don’t need to explain why our revenue in interest and investment is at the moment virtually nonexistent, we cannot justify spending a considerable sum of our small income on producing a newsletter which at the moment is far from generating the income one would hope for. The purpose of our Mission is after all to collect money to send to Italy to help the Waldensian Church. Our choice has been to help in areas where the Church does not receive help from other sources; that is in evangelisation, church life, the maintenance and building of places of worship, in one word: Christian life.
