And like the mosaic at left, the larger Candler story is made up of the unique stories of our faculty, staff, friends, and 10,000+ alumni who have been the lifeblood of the school during the past century. The details of each individual photograph—or story—can be difficult to see, but when joined together, the pieces form a stunning picture that is instantly recognizable as Candler. FLIP CHALFANT As we celebrate our Centennial, we have compiled a good many individual stories that exemplify Candler. A selection of these can be The Collect found in this commemorative edition of Connection, where we share glimpses into the lives of the 56 men and women we are honoring with a Centennial Medal for their extraordinary service to the school, the church, and society. It wasn’t easy to decide which stories to tell, but the dilemma was made easier when I reflected on wisdom shared not by one of our own, but by one who is responsible for shepherding Emory University’s financial well-being. Mike Mandl, executive vice president for business and administration, spoke earlier this year to Candler’s Board of Advisors, and it was his explanation of how Emory frames the question of funding priorities that served as a guide: How do you decide what to retain from your history and what to let go of as you move forward? You retain what is essential to who you are. Candler has done that in its first 100 years. We did away with barriers to entry based on gender and race because it was essential to who we are as a Christian institution. We retained academic freedom and scholarly integrity because it was essential to who we are as an in- stitution of higher learning. We refined our emphasis on the practical applications of our work because it is essential to who we are as followers of Christ dedicated to the positive transformation of the world. And though thoroughly ecumenical today, we’ve maintained our close connection to The United Methodist Church because our identity is rooted in the Wesleyan tradition of evangelical piety, ecumenical openness, and social concern. So while there are thousands of individual stories embedded in the larger Candler story, in this Centennial year we pause to reflect on those stories that highlight what is essential to who we are today and who we hope to be tomorrow. And as we reflect on Candler’s story, I invite you to reflect on your own unique, personal Candler story. How has Candler shaped you? What of your experience here will you leave behind? What will you keep? Whatever the details, know that your abiding presence is essential to who we are—the image of Candler would be incomplete without you.

    Journal of Southern Religion, Volume 6 (December 2003) The Voice of a Prophet: Andrew Sledd Revisited Terry L. Matthews, PhD / Mount Airy, North Carolina In 1902, Andrew Sledd, a professor of Latin at Emory College published “a strong denunciation of lynching in the Atlantic Monthly.” The furor that followed the article’s appearance led the president of Emory, James Dickey, “to ask for Sledd’s resignation.” For the next 100 years, Emory University sought to gloss over or ignore this stain on its institutional soul.1 Not until April 2002, at a special symposium held to commemorate the controversy, did the University act to “right a wrong committed a century ago by revisiting the ‘Sledd affair’ and reflecting on its meaning for Emory today.”2 Indeed, Andrew Sledd’s life and work had meaning far “A man with the beyond the borders of the Emory campus.

  • The Social Soteriology of John Wesley and Its Communitarian, Arminian and Public Elements
    The social soteriology of John Wesley and its comuni- tarian, arminian and public elements: comments on its development, purpose, inspirations, and spirituality Helmut Renders 1 The intention of using the term social soteriology is an attempt to combine a common concept in Wesleyan studies – that John Wesley is best understood as primarily con- cerned with soteriology – with a fresh look at the wide range of the meaning of the word “social”. This is done because the major agreement regarding the centrality of soteriology in Wesley has been unable to relate the different perspectives toward a united effort to promote and proclaim salvation in an integral way. Without a doubt, for many the use of the adjective “social” may simply indicate that the author of this article is putting empha- sis on diacony or public religion. Although the word “social” includes these meanings, it is much richer than this and has been used in Wesleyan and Methodist history in different moments to mark a certain type of Wesleyan imagery.2 As such, it seems appropriate to rethink this tradition and offer a re-reading of those aspects that we can easily combine with the metaphor of “social” and study their contributions to Wesleyan soteriology. 3 To do so, we shall challenge some customary reading of Wesleyan, in the first place, the popular biographic method of periodization which emerges more from a type of bio- graphic reinterpretation and reconfirmation of contemporary theologies than from a his- toric hermeneutic. Differently we shall re-link certain periods of his life by its under- standing as sedimentation of experience as a more appropriate way to understand the con- tinuous construction of Wesleyan soteriology as social soteriology.

  • Your Name Here
    “KING JAMES:” JAMES EDWARD DICKEY (1864-1928), EMORY COLLEGE PRESIDENT AND METHODIST BISHOP by THOMAS HAROLD JACKSON, JR. (Under the Direction of Libby V. Morris and Thomas G. Dyer) ABSTRACT James Edward Dickey was the twelfth president of Emory College and the last to serve at its Oxford, Georgia campus before it was consolidated into Emory University. As were many of his predecessors, Dickey was an Emory alumnus and Methodist minister who came to the presidency with a background of teaching and preaching. A systematic administrator with a gift for fundraising, he served as president from 1902 to 1915, longer than any of his predecessors, and oversaw construction of a new science building, dormitory, gymnasium and a sanctuary for the campus church. An old-style southern orator noted for his eloquence and grandiose delivery, he preached conservative values leading to Christian salvation. Serving as pastor of prominent Georgia Methodist churches before and after his presidency, he was elected bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in 1922, serving until his death in 1928. As such, he campaigned vigorously against a proposal to unify the southern and northern branches of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Key influences and factors in his life and career were his mentor and long-time colleague Warren A. Candler, also an Emory president and Methodist bishop; the transition of the Old South of his birth and its “Lost Cause” rhetoric to the New South of his maturity, as outlined by Atticus G. Haygood and Henry W. Grady; the pervasive influence of race in the life of the church, college and society of Dickey’s time; the Methodist Church and its commitment to higher education through the Wesleyan philosophy of melding knowledge with vital piety; and the coming of the Progressive Era and its resulting impact on higher education in general, and on Emory in particular, as it transformed from a small liberal arts college to a great research university.
