Valentino Sitoy, Jr. United Church of Christ in the Philippines FOREWORD To capture in print a history of a people in their faith journey is itself a miracle! Indeed, it is the work of the Holy Spirit manifesting itself in the ingenuity and intellect of church scholars, such as this particular author. To be able to delve into the peculiarities of each of the uniting churches - each with its own particular historical journey - and weave them into one fabric of a United Church of Christ in the Philippines is indeed a work of genius. Leaping out of the pages are familiar names of persons, places and events as the stories of each of the denominational springs flow into the one stream of a church body, losing themselves into the one body. And as the names are read again and again, by individuals and groups of this volume, they will come to life and bring back memories of the many pioneers of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, without whom we will not be what we are today, nor hope to be what we ought to be, in the future.

  • Prompted by a Feather
    PPrroommpptteedd bbyy aa FFeeaatthheerr James Mills Thoburn (1836 – 1922) was an American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church best known for his missionary work in India. Born in St. Clairsville, Ohio, he graduated from Allegheny College in Meadville, Penn., in 1857 and began his Methodist preaching ministry that same year in the Pittsburgh Conference. Thoburn went to India as a missionary in 1859 and was stationed successively at Nynee Tal, Moradabad, Lucknow and Calcutta, where he founded Calcutta Boys' School in 1877. Preaching in both the native and European languages, he built the largest church in India at that time. Bishop Thoburn was walking down the street one day when a large eagle feather drifted to the ground near him. He searched the sky for the eagle, but saw nothing. Turning the feather over in his hands, he recalled that pens made out of such feathers had written many historic documents. He carefully took a sharp knife and sliced it across the heavy end of the feather. It wrote so beautifully that he decided to write a letter to his sister, Isabella Thoburn, in Boston. He wrote how the girls and women of India were mistreated and neglected, and that he felt God desired that something be done about it. Then he added, “You are a school teacher. Although you are excellent, there are thousands of others in America who could take your place. Why don’t you come over here and start a school for the girls and women who come to my compound to church?” His sister read the letter to the Women’s Missionary Society of the church.

    United Methodist Bishops Ordination Chain 1784 - 2012 General Commission on Archives and History Madison, New Jersey 2012 UNITED METHODIST BISHOPS in order of Election This is a list of all the persons who have been consecrated to the office of bishop in The United Methodist Church and its predecessor bodies (Methodist Episcopal Church; Methodist Protestant Church; Methodist Episcopal Church, South; Church of the United Brethren in Christ; Evangelical Association; United Evangelical Church; Evangelical Church; The Methodist Church; Evangelical United Brethren Church, and The United Methodist Church). The list is arranged by date of election. The first column gives the date of election; the second column gives the name of the bishop. The third column gives the name of the person or organization who ordained the bishop. The list, therefore, enables clergy to trace the episcopal chain of ordination back to Wesley, Asbury, or another person or church body. We regret that presently there are a few gaps in the ordination information, especially for United Methodist Central Conferences. However, the missing information will be provided as soon as it is available. This list was compiled by C. Faith Richardson and Robert D. Simpson .
