As a community of devotion and learning, North Park provides training for effective witness in the parish ministry, in mission fields at home and abroad, and in other areas requiring theological preparation. Its primary responsibility is to prepare students for the ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church of America. The Christian minister is called upon daily to manifest his commitment to Christ in devoted and informed service. As a qualified witness, he needs— • a thorough knowledge of the Bible. • a clear understanding of the history and doctrines of the church. • familiarity with the art of preaching. • acquaintance with such practical skills as parish evangelism, teach ing, pastoral counseling, and church administration. • a deepening and strengthening of his own spiritual life. The program of North Park Theological Seminary aims to fill these needs. GENERAL INFORMATION Historical Statement The first attempts to provide ministerial education among the Mis sion Friends in America were the Swedish Lutheran Mission Institute in Keokuk, Iowa, 1873-1875, and Ansgar College in Knoxville, Illinois, 1875-1884. The latter school was forced to close in 1884 because of lack of funds. When the Mission Covenant was organized a year later, it was decided to accept the offer of the American Congregationalists to train Covenant ministers in the Swedish Department of Chicago Theological Seminary. By 1891, however, the Covenant had found increasing evidence of the impracticability of having another denomination train its pastors and decided to take over the Skogsbergh school in Minneapolis. The school remained in Minneapolis until 1894 when it was moved to its present site. It was the philosophy of Covenant educators from the beginning that theological and general education should not be physically separated but co-exist on the same campus. Hence North Park College and Theological Seminary has historically maintained a living co-inherence. In 1947, how ever, a step toward greater autonomy of the schools was taken when the seminary was given its own building, Nyvall Hall. While maintaining close ties with the college to the mutual benefit of both schools, the seminary and college are today autonomous academic units under a central administration. The seminary has been fortunate throughout its history in the quality of instruction. The first teachers were David Nyvall and Axel Mellander, the former an original personality of large dimensions who made an un forgettable impression on his students, the latter a methodical and careful scholar, whose work was less creative than Nyvall's, but immensely signifi cant nevertheless. During David Nyvall's absence from the campus from 1905 to 1912, his courses were taught by Carl Hanson. With the death of Axel Mellander in 1922, Nils W. Lund assumed the teaching burdens in the seminary. The present staff has seven members called to full time duty by the Annual Meeting of the Covenant. Academic preparation for the ministry has increased considerably since the denomination was founded. Fixed educational requirements for seminary entrance did not exist in the beginning, but very early the need for high school training as a preparation for the theological course was discussed. Two years of high school became mandatory in 1913, and in 1925 completion of junior college became a requirement for seminary matriculation. By denominational decision, a bona fide college degree was required of all students entering the seminary after the academic year 1952-1953. The seminary course was extended from two years to three in 1932 and a year of internship was added in 1935. The seminary graduated its first B. D. candidates in 1957. North Park Theological Seminary is an associate member of the American Association of Theological Schools. Tradition The Evangelical Covenant Church of America has its roots in historical Christianity as it emerged in the Protestant Reformation, in the biblical instruction of the Lutheran State Church of Sweden, and in the great spiritual awakenings of the nineteenth century. These three influences have in large measure shaped its development and are to be borne in mind in seeking to understand its distinctive spirit. The Covenant Church adheres to the affirmation of the Protestant Reformation regarding the Holy Scriptures, the Old and the New Testa ment, as the Word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct. It has traditionally valued the historic confessions of the Christian church, particularly the Apostles' Creed, while at the same time it has emphasized the sovereignty of the Word over all creedal interpretations. It has especially cherished the pietistic restatement of the doctrine of justi fication by faith as basic to its dual task of evangelism and Christian nur ture, the New Testament emphasis upon personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, the reality of a fellowship of believers which recognizes but transcends theological differences, and the belief in baptism and the Lord's Supper as divinely ordained sacraments of the church. While the denomination has traditionally practiced the baptism of infants, in con formity with its principle of freedom it has given room to divergent views. The principle of personal freedom, so highly esteemed by the Covenant, is to be distinguished from the individualism that disregards the centrality of the Word of God and the mutual responsibilities and disciplines of the spiritual community. (The two paragraphs above are from the Preamble, Constitution of the Evangelical Covenant Church of America.) Objectives The seminary, as a servant of God and of the Christian Church, considers the first and deepest human need to be a personal commitment to Christ as Savior and Lord. In response to this need it understands its objectives to be the following: 1. To train men to be competent and spiritually sensitive min isters in the Church of Jesus Christ at home and abroad, and particularly in the Evangelical Covenant Church. The fulfillment of this task involves: a) the acquisition of the information and skills needed for the ministry. b) an acquaintance with all the theological and spiritual traditions of significance in the life of the church in order that the student's understanding of his own faith may be broadened and deepened. c) an appreciation of the values of the pietistic heritage in the conviction that the task of the Covenant Church includes the channeling of the best insights of the pietistic movement into the life of the church at large. d) the development of a mature theological perspective in a personal acquaintance with God, with the work of the church, and with the need of the world, which can be the basis for the student's work as a parish minister and a stimulus toward continued education and growth. 2. To be a community for theological investigation and scholar ship and to be a center of intellectual life for the church. For this purpose conversation must continue between the traditions within the church and with the various intellectual and scholarly disciplines. 3. To train men and women for special types of Christian serv ice at home and abroad. 4. To give encouragement to the continuing education and growth of the minister both in specific graduate studies and in independent studies. Campus Resources North Park College and Theological Seminary is situated in North Park in the northwestern part of Chicago. Its proximity to the center of this great metropolis brings within easy reach musical, cultural, commercial and general educational advantages of the greatest values. It is readily access ible from all parts of the city, its campus lying between Kedzie and Kim ball Avenues on Foster Avenue, whose buses make connections with both the North Side and the Ravenswood elevated lines and with north and south surface lines. The campus consists of about twenty acres. The seminary shares in the physical resources of the entire campus of North Park College and Theological Seminary. Of particular note are the excellent athletic and health facilities. Nyvall Hall is the seminary's three- unit building, erected in 1947, at an approximate cost of $300,000. The south wing contains Isaacson Memorial Chapel; the north wing houses the Covenant Historical Collection and contains an attractive student lounge. The central unit contains classrooms and administrative and faculty offices. The Seminary Library, a graduate departmental collection of books in the field of religion and related subjects, is located on the third floor of Wallgren Memorial Library, a modern air-conditioned building constructed in 1957-1958. The collection now numbers 16,817 volumes, in addition to 1,205 bound periodicals and 1,300 pamphlets. Through subscription and gifts it receives 154 current journals. The College Library collection is housed on the first two floors of the Library building and contains 35,000 volumes in other fields of knowledge not represented in the seminary collec tion. Both collections are available to all students on the campus. For con venience a union card catalog is provided in addition to the departmental catalog. A microfilm reader is available. The library is administered by a theologically-trained director of the library, a full-time librarian, a part-time clerical assistant and part-time student help. A library committee on which the faculty is represented acts in an advisory capacity and as a liaison between library and faculty. Memorial Library Funds have been gathered through the years and are now being enlarged, the proceeds of which will assist regularly the budget allowance for the purchase of books. The library is maintained primarily for the use of students and faculty but books are made available to ministers and church members for a speci fied period when such books are not on reserve for use on the campus. The Covenant Historical Collection consists of books, pamphlets, let ters and other source materials. It is open to qualified persons interested in special research projects. A full-time archivist is in charge. The resources of excellent libraries in the Chicago area are open to seminary students through inter-library loan or personal application. 10 ? STUDENT LIFE Orientation Program In the week preceding the opening of classes in the fall an all-school retreat is held for the purpose of promoting understanding and fellowship among students and faculty. The place of the retreat is usually Covenant Harbor on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Attendance is required. An important part of the retreat activities is an orientation program conducted for incoming students. Consideration is given to the nature of seminary work, the prob lems and tensions which may arise in the student's life, the resources of the counseling program and the purpose and goals of theological educa tion at North Park. Further orientation is given in the course, "Junior Practicum," required of all entering students. Student Council Student life at North Park Seminary is structured through the deliberations and planning of the Student Council. The council seeks to encourage and promote student participation in seminary affairs, and to foster a spirit of fellowship between students, faculty, administration, and students of other seminaries. The Student Council concerns itself with all of the aspects of the student's life while he is on the campus. Most of the work is channeled through various standing and appointed committees. The Forum Commit tee is responsible for maintaining a program of discussion and fellowship for the students, and often brings guest speakers to the campus. The De votional Life Committee is responsible for the general devotional life of the seminary and specifically for the chapel services, which are held each morning during the week. The Social and Athletic Committees are respon sible for the social expression and the athletic program of the school. The Interseminary Committee promotes the work of the Interseminary Move ment on the campus and seeks to develop interest in the larger church. Devotional Life The prayer room in Isaacson Chapel is an invitation to meditation and prayer. Chapel services are held daily. Berea, an all-school Bible class, meets for study early on Sunday mornings. An all-school fellowship meet ing is held every Wednesday evening at 7:00 o'clock. Seminary students and faculty members along with the college and academy support a mis sionary family in Ecuador. 13 Gospel teams, student pastorates, youth work, and student preaching supply, are often available as opportunities for service and sharing. Stu dents are also expected to participate regularly in the worship and work of the churches in order to sustain a rich spiritual life. Students should profit from the wide worship experiences which are possible in the city. It is nevertheless recommended that students associate themselves with a Cove nant church of their own choice to which they should be loyal. In 1961 a chaplain was appointed to serve part time as director of the religious life of the seminary in cooperation with the Student Council. Music There are many opportunities at North Park for participation in vocal or instrumental ensembles. Seminary students may apply for membership in the Oratorio Chorus. The chorus presents Handel's "Messiah" during the Christmas season and some other classic work on Palm Sunday. A number of trios and quartets, both vocal and instrumental, are or ganized each year. They perform at campus meetings and participate in religious services in Chicago churches. Seminary students may apply for membership in the quartets or gospel teams which visit Covenant churches throughout the nation during the summer. The David Nyvall Lectureship The David Nyvall Lectures were inaugurated in May, 1951, by the Sem inary Forum and the Department of Religious Education Fellowship. The purpose of this guest lectureship is to stimulate greater interest and knowl edge in the interpretation of the Christian message for the modern world. In order to achieve this purpose, prominent leaders in the Christian Church are invited to the school from time to time. The lectures are published in the Covenant Quarterly.

Competition in intramural and interseminary athletics is en couraged. The seminary basketball teams are active in the Chicago area Interseminary League. Seminary Wives A Seminary Wives organization meets every month during the school year. The purpose of the organization (in which the wives of the faculty mem bers share) is to provide an orientation to the life and work of the pastor's wife and to afford a better understanding of the disciplines and methods of theological education to which their husbands are subject. These aims are met by monthly programs which emphasize the role of the pastor's wife, and by two annual series of classes in theological orientation. These classes are taught by the seminary professors. In 1954 the Seminary Wives joined the Covenant Women's Auxiliary and now participate in the activities of this national fellowship.

Scholarships The Nils and Betty Larson Scholarship Fund, a sum of $2,100.00, has been donated by Mr. and Mrs. Nils G. Larson of Attleboro, Massachu setts, and their estate for the purpose of providing an annual scholarship for a student at North Park Theological Seminary. In the selection of a candidate for the scholarship, preference is to be given to students prepar ing for the pastoral ministry. The Cleburne Covenant Church Memorial Scholarship was estab lished in 1961 by a gift of $5,000.00 from the Cleburne Covenant Church of Cleburne, Kansas. Proceeds are to be used to help students who are pre paring for the Christian ministry, both at home and abroad. Pre-Seminary students may be considered for this scholarship as well as seminary students. The Randolph Covenant Church Scholarship Fund of $10,000.00 was established by the Randolph Church, Randolph, Kansas, in 1961. The an nual proceeds of the fund are to be used to benefit "a needy and worthy student (or students) of the Theological Seminary." Student Loan Fund A fund has been established by an anonymous donor for seminary students in temporary financial need. Under regulations administered by the dean of the seminary a student may apply for a loan, or under certain circum stances a grant-in-aid. Student Employment Students desiring to earn a part of their expenses while attending school have unusual opportunities in a great city like Chicago. Every year a large number of the students of North Park secure part time employment. Assist ance may be given by the dean or by the Placement Bureau on the campus. An employment report must be filed with the dean at the beginning of the school year and whenever the employment hours may change, in order that a proper balance be maintained between the academic load and work ing hours. Normally not more than twenty hours of outside work may be carried without reducing one's academic load. Health Service The seminary student has access to the institutional health service, staffed 17 by a school nurse and a physician. The students' hospitalization needs are met through the Swedish Covenant Hospital, located within four blocks of the campus, and through a student insurance plan. An institutional counsel ing center has been established on the campus under the office of the dean of students. This center is staffed by a full time psychiatrist and some part time personnel, including a clinical psychologist. Its services are available to seminary students through faculty referral. An insurance program is provided by the school through the Ministers Life and Casualty Union, administered by the office. All students are auto matically registered for insurance unless they sign a waiver. ACADEMIC PROGRAM The Function of Pre-Seminary Studies (Adapted from "Statement on Pre-Seminary Studies," Bulletin 23, American Associa tion of Theological Schools) College courses prior to theological seminary should provide the cultural and intellectual foundations essential to an effective theological education. They should issue in at least three broad kinds of attainment. 1. The college work of a pre-seminary student should result in the ability to use certain tools of the educated man: (a) The ability to write and speak English clearly and correctly. English composition should have this as a specific purpose, but this purpose should also be cultivated in all written work. (b) The ability to think clearly. In some persons this ability is cultivated through courses in philosophy or specifically in logic. In others it is culti vated by the use of scientific method, or by dealing with critical problems in connection with literary and historical documents. (c) The ability to read at least one foreign language and in some circumstances more than one. 2. The college work of a pre-seminary student should result in increased under standing of the world in which he lives: (a) The world of men and ideas. This includes knowledge of English literature, philosophy and psychology. (b) The world of nature. This is provided by knowledge of the natural sciences, including laboratory work. (c) The world of human affairs. This is aided by knowledge of history and the social sciences. 3. The college work of the pre-seminary student should result in a sense of achievement: (a) The degree of his mastery of his field of study is more important than the credits and grades which he accumulates. 18 (b) The sense of achievement may be encouraged through academic concen tration, or through "honors" work, or through other plans for increasingly independent work with as much initiative on the student's part as he is able to use with profit. Subjects in Pre-Seminary Study (Adapted from "Statement on Pre-Seminary Studies," Bulletin 23, American Associa tion of Theological Schools) The following is regarded by the Association as a minimum list of fields with which it is desirable that a student have acquaintance before begin ning study in seminary. These fields of study are selected because of the probability that they will lead in the direction of such results as have been indicated. It is desirable that the student's work in these fields of study be evaluated on the basis of his mastery of these fields rather than in terms of semester hours or credits. That this recommendation may help the student faced with the practical problem of selecting courses, however, it is sug gested that he take 30 semester courses or 90 semester hours or approxi mately three-fourths of his college work in the following specific areas: ENGLISH Literature, composition, speech and related studies. At least 6 semesters. HISTORY Ancient, modern, European, and American. At least 3 semesters. PHILOSOPHY Orientation in history, content and method. At least 3 semesters. NATURAL SCIENCES Preferably physics, chemistry and biology. At least 2 semesters. SOCIAL SCIENCES Psychology, sociology, economics, political science and education. At least 6 semesters, including at least 1 semester of psychology. »FOREIGN One or more of the following linguistic avenues to LANGUAGES man's thought and tools of scholarly research: Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German, French. Students who an ticipate post-graduate studies are urged to undertake these disciplines as early in their training as oppor tunity offers. RELIGION A thorough knowledge of the content of the Bible is indispensable, together with an introduction to the major religious traditions and theological problems in the context of the principal aspects of human culture outlined above. The pre-seminary student may well seek counsel of the seminary in order to make possible the best use of the resources of his college. At least 3 semesters. 19 Of the various possible areas of concentration, where areas of concentra tion are required, English, philosophy, and history are regarded as the most desirable. * North Park Theological Seminary recommends four semesters of language and requires that at least two semesters be Greek. Pre-enrollment in North Park Seminary It is desirable that all college and university students who plan to enter the ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church indicate their intention by pre-enrolling in North Park Seminary.

Testimonials of Christian character, ability and general fitness for the Christian ministry must be provided including recommendations from the applicant's pastor and church board. The applicant must hold membership in a church affiliated with the Covenant. Exceptions to this rule can be made only by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the faculty.

Clinical Pastoral Education A period of Clinical Pastoral Training of either six or twelve weeks is recommended. The Department of Pastoral Care of the Swedish Covenant Hospital, affiliated with the Institute of Pastoral Care, offers a clinical pastoral training school each summer.

It is suggested that this training be taken in the summer either prior to or immediately following the internship. Field Work The students in the Theological Seminary shall spend one year of active service in the church as pastors or assistants before they begin their final year of studies in the seminary. They are called and salaried by the 23 churches. The purpose of the internship is to help the student understand himself and his academic preparation in relationship to the living church and to demonstrate that he can serve the church acceptably. During the year of internship the student is under the supervision of the dean, the faculty supervisor, and duly appointed supervisors on the field. The student shall submit monthly reports of his work on the forms provided and a final appraisal of his internship when it is completed. Evalu ations are submitted by each of the field supervisors and by three church leaders under whom the intern serves. Missionary Candidates Candidates for the foreign mission fields are urged to counsel with the dean and professor of missions in the seminary and with the Board of Missions through the Secretary of World Missions as soon as they sense an interest in the missionary vocation. This should be done in order that the proper course requirements may be fulfilled and reasonable assurance of placement be given. Program of Christian Education A major in Christian Education is being offered in the college. In order to meet the need for graduate courses in Christian Education for future pastors, missionaries, and directors of Christian Education, North Park Seminary plans to offer, within a few years, a full graduate program in this field. At the present time three courses are being offered, thus making possible a field of concentration in Christian Education. An arrangement with McCormick Theological Seminary makes it possible for the Covenant students to enroll in both schools simultaneously for graduate study in the field of Christian Education. Students may establish residence at North Park where biblical and theological courses will be taken; Christian Educa tion courses will be taken at McCormick. Two years of study are required for eligibility for the M.R.E. degree. For information concerning Christian Education courses, see College catalog. Chaplaincy Students interested in the institutional chaplaincy are invited to make inquiry into the Chaplain Internship Program offered by the Department of Pastoral Care of Swedish Covenant Hospital. Summer Session A six week summer session is held each year presenting concentrated courses with the value of three quarter hours each. Not more than two such courses may be taken simultaneously except by faculty decision. 24 General Academic Regulations The seminary uses the following grade symbols: A superior work 93-100 B above average 85-92 C average 75-84 D unsatisfactory, but passing 70-74 F failure below 70 I incomplete In terms of grade points the grades have the following values: A, 4 points; B, 3 points; C, 2 points; D, 1 point; and F, 0 points.
