Pacific Church News 3 Luncheon Honors George Pepperdine Centennial 1886-1986 A special gathering of Pepperdine friends took place on June 20, 1986 to commemorate the centennial of George Pepperdine's birth. Helen Pep- perdine attended, along with over sixty other people, in order to reminisce about George Pepperdine's life and his many contributions to Christian educa- tion and to the Churches of Christ. George Pepperdine was born in a one-room cabin in Southeastern Kan- sas on June 20, 1886. He founded the Western Auto Supply Company in Kansas City in 1909, and moved to California to expand his operations in 1915. As his business successes mount- Helen Pepperdine and Kenneth Hahn Former deans /.P. Sanders, E.V.

Out of this deep sense of dedication, Mr. Pepperdine began assisting many congregations of the Church of Christ who were struggling through the De- pression. At one time, he was finan- cially assisting more than forty congre- gations in California. But he wanted to do more, and in 1937 he made the decision to invest his fortune in the Students from '37: /. Harris, L. Derrick, H. Mattox, G. Millay, W. Stivers, G.

A young boy, upon seeing Mr. Pepperdine and knowing of his reputation as a wealthy man, asked him, "How much do you have?" Mr. Pepperdine replied, "The only thing I have left is what I've given away."

  • Restoration Quarterly and Mission
    NEW JOURNALS FOR THE SIXTIES: RESTORATION QUARTERLY AND MISSION Thomas H. Olbricht The 1960's witnessed the emergence of two new journals for dissemination among members of the Churches of Christ, representing new concerns and directions, first the Restoration Quarterly, and then Mission. The Gospel Advocate and The Firm Foundation at that time clearly exhibited traditional journalistic approaches of a hundred years or more. These journals printed short articles on controversial matters among the churches, delineating a consensus perspective, and also inspirational pieces and reports from preachers, mostly regarding gospel meetings. The Gospel Advocate was more traditional than the Firm Foundation, the latter under a new editor after 1955, Reuel Lemmons, who was willing for less conventional views to at least surface. He himself encouraged a degree of openness, forbearance and diversity. In addition, The Christian Chronicle, the Twentieth Century Christian, and Power for Today were recognized and circulated widely. The Christian Chronicle was a major source of news among us, especially in regard to expanding missions. The latter two focused upon current inspirational and spiritual matters especially for college age persons. The Restoration Quarterly and Mission were new in kind, at least among members of the Churches of Christ. New concerns and foci are always a threat to those content with the traditional and conventional, as are most of us. It comes as no surprise then that both of these new journals met with considerable resistance from contemporary church leadership. The control of channels of communication is particularly guarded by leaders who hold their position through aggressiveness and charisma, rather than through institutional, bureaucratic office.
