  • This, Too, Is Harrisburg District History Prepared for Delivery at the Harrisburg District Ministerium at Salem Church in Cumberland County February 14, 1967 by C.F
    This, Too, Is Harrisburg District History prepared for delivery at the Harrisburg District Ministerium at Salem Church in Cumberland County February 14, 1967 by C.F. Berkheimer editor’s note: The title is the one given by conference historian Charles F. Berkheimer, then retired and living in Williamsport, in 1967. Prior to the denominational union that formed the United Methodist Church, the Harrisburg District of the Methodist Church included the city of Harrisburg and all of York, Adams, Franklin, Cumberland, Perry and Juniata counties. In 1967, that area included 60 charges – 11 in Harrisburg and 49 west of the Susquehanna. Since the Evangelical United Brethren were much more numerous than the Methodists in that part of the conference, the 1968 union necessitated a major realignment in the district boundaries. In 1970, the first year of Central Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church, the York District alone – which didn’t even include the entire county – had 60 charges. While copies of the paper were distributed to the attendees, this valuable contribution to the history of our conference – like most of Berkheimer’s research – was never actually published. The Chronicle is pleased to serve as the instrument by which this information now receives the wider circulation it deserves. The paper is surprisingly concise and assumes that the listeners were familiar with the persons, places and events discussed in the document. Either Dr. Berkheimer over-estimated his audience or people had a greater interest in church history in the 1960’s than they do today. Since modern district gatherings seldom include historical presentations, the latter may be the case.

  • History of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference
    228 History of the Oregon-Idaho Conference History of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Organized Christianity began in the Oregon Territory in 1834 when Jason Lee, a Methodist minister from New England, responded to a call seeking a preacher to fulfill a request by Native Americans who had visited St. Louis. The exact reason for their visit is uncertain, but it was widely reported in church circles at the time that these Indians were seeking religious instruction for their people about “the white man’s Book of Heaven” they had heard about from white fur traders and trappers. The report of their visit fired the imagination of many people in the churches. The Methodist Board of Missions was the first to react by sending Lee over the Oregon Trail as head of a party consisting of his nephew and three lay persons. Their purpose was to establish a missionary effort aimed at converting the indigenous Native Americans and teaching them the arts of civilization. On the way to Oregon, near the present town of Blackfoot, Idaho, Lee preached to a gathering of trappers in a service that is regarded as the first formal Protestant sermon in the West. The party reached Fort Vancouver, according to Lee, “after a long and fatiguing journey, replete with mercies, deprivations, toil, and prosperity” and received a warm welcome by John McLoughlin of the Hudson’s Bay Co. McLoughlin advised Lee to establish his mission in the Willamette Valley. The first station was about ten miles north of the present Salem where Lee organized a Class, the normal 19th century way for Methodism to begin a local church.
