Adopt-A-Church Essentials Understanding The Church of the Nazarene Curriculum Notes Workshop Introduction This workshop is intended to help the pastor and board of a church desiring to join the Church of the Nazarene, to understanding who Nazarenes are. v As well, it takes them through the process of registering the church and organizing it in such a way that it will become a fully- organized church. A fully organized church should be: v Self-Governing v Self-Sustaining v Self-Propagating 2 Introduction to the Church of the Nazarene Early Church History Let me tell you a little about the history of the Church of the Nazarene and several key people who were responsible for the beginning of our denomination. v To do that though, we need to see it in the context of the history of Christianity The Christian Church as we know it today came into being in the first half of the First Century, following the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. v Within 300 years following the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, the Christian Movement was the most powerful force in the Roman world. Ø In the year 323, Christianity became the official religion of the empire. 3 Middle Age Church History During the Middle Ages, several reform movements developed. v In the 16th Century, the Protestant Reformation, lead by Martin Luther and others, gave birth to many of the great denominations we know today. v In the early 18th Century, the Evangelical Revival occurred in England, led mainly by the ministry of John and Charles Wesley.

John, the apostle, testified T!that he “saw the glory” of Christ almost a lifetime after His miraculous birth. That same glory was witnessed by common shepherds who heard the angelic choir sing “glory to God in the highest.” It was shared also by the rich and the wise as they presented gifts of adoration. Yet not all could see His “glory,” and many missed it. For those who missed Christ’s glory, there was no middle ground. The longer Christ ministered, the more antagonistic they became.

  • California – 1926
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE Fourth Annual California District Assembly OF THE PILGRIM HOLINESS CHURCH Held-in the Pilgrim Tabernacle Pasadena, California Feb.2--6 1926 EDITED BY THE COMMIT:TEE Mid-Winter Convention 'Times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord" epitomizes the spiritual bounty enjoyed by all of God's people at the recent revival and convention in the Pilgrim Church at Pasadena And how could it well have been otherwise? Was it not preceded by days. and weeks of that earnest expectation, that sincere self-examination, and that heart-felt sup- plication which are the prime requisites for preparing the way of the Lord? And did not our all-provident God send us in some of the very choicest of His workers in the persons of our dear Bro. Rees and family? Just home from their world-wide tour, inspired afresh with sight of earth's sacred spots, visioned anew by vital contact with earth's white harvest fields, they were eminently fitted to bring to the eager hearts of waiting crowds that good news from a far country which, as the sacred writer tells us, "is as cold waters to a thirsty soul." How refreshed were our hearts ncleed when they told of the miracles of grace God had wrought by their hands in the Orient. Before the con- vention began, the church had been earnestly praying that this revival might mean such a renewing of mind, such an intensifying of zeal that their hearts and lives thereafter should never be quite the same And if the ministry of man plus the all-vitalizing power of the Holy Spirit has such power to transform men's lives, we wonder how anyone present could be quite the same after the gracious missionary message of the first Sunday afternoon as given by Bro.

It is written with the hope and prayer that, where lost, the vision may be renewed to those who once shared with us in the glory of this “former house” of blessing; and also that it may, through this humble little medium, be told “to the generation following.” FRANK BARTLEMAN.

  • An Overview of Religion in Los Angeles, 1950-1930
    An Overview of Religion in Los Angeles from 1850 to 1930 Compiled by Clifton L. Holland Introduction When California was admitted to the Union in September 1850, Southern California had experienced few changes through American control and settlement. Only three small towns existed in all of Southern California: San Diego, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. However, smaller settlements were to be found around the old Spanish missions and on some of the large ranchos that dominated the economy of Southern California, a region that had a total population of only 6,367 in 1851 (McWilliams 1946:64). The dominant religion in Los Angeles was Roman Catholicism, which had been established throughout California by Franciscan friars who came from Mexico, beginning in the 1770s, to establish a chain of missions for the purpose of evangelizing the Native Americans and of developing agricultural colonies using forced Indigenous labor. The pueblo of "Our Lady the Queen of the Angels" had been established in 1781 on the banks of the Rio Porciuncula, now known as the Los Angeles River. As the Anglo American population of Southern California began to grow after 1850, small Protestant denominational churches grew out of union services in small towns. During the late 1860s and the decade of the 1870s, as more churches were planted in new settlements and the size of denominational groups increased along with the rapidly growing population, regional and state associations of Protestant churches were formed. Whereas the Baptist and Congregational preachers simply came with the people as part of the western migration, the Methodist preachers were usually sent west to form new churches, and the Presbyterian ministers were called to serve a church by a previously formed congregation.

  • Self Guided Azusa Tour for SPS Participants March 2006 Cecil M
    Self Guided Azusa Tour for SPS Participants March 2006 Cecil M. Robeck, Jr.© The following information is provided to members of the SPS to help you find your way on a self- guided tour of sites related to early Pentecostalism in the Los Angeles area. For the most convenient use of this material, someone should drive, while another person reads the directions. The purpose of this tour is to acquaint you with a sense of the ethno-geographical landscape of LA as much as anything. You will pass through a number of ethnic neighborhoods, each with its own individuality, history, and challenges. I really hope that you have a great time, and would like to hear back from you on the effectiveness of this guide at [email protected]. From the Hilton Hotel or Fuller Seminary: Proceed north on Los Robles Ave. to Corson (One block past Walnut), turn right. Stay in the left lane to Lake Ave., then turn left, keeping to the left two lanes which feed the 210 Freeway going west. Enter the 210 Freeway going west (toward Glendale), but move as quickly and safely as possible at least three lanes to the left. You will be confronted by a split in the freeway within ½ mile and you want to be at least three lanes from the right side in order to make the appropriate freeway. As you cross the Arroyo Seco it will become the 134 Ventura Freeway. Continue to the 2 Glendale Freeway (about 5 miles). Entry will be from the right hand lane. Take the 2 Glendale Freeway south to the end (about 5 miles).

  • California's Cross: a Cultural History of Pentecostalism, Race, And
    California’s Cross: A Cultural History of Pentecostalism, Race, and Agriculture by Lloyd D. Barba A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Assistant Professor Daniel Ramírez, Chair Professor Edward J. Blum, San Diego State University Professor Philip J. Deloria Professor Silvia Pedraza © Lloyd D. Barba 2016 For Francisco R. Barba ii Acknowledgements California’s Cross is a historical inquiry influenced by wonderful people on the journey of writing this dissertation. While many of my closest family and friends imagined me cloistered away and writing feverishly in a cubicle, the reality is that California’s Cross allowed me to meet and share ideas with some of the most collegial and intentional people I have ever crossed paths with. Many of the individuals acknowledged below do not know each other, but even as strangers to one another they have collectively impacted my work. In Georg Simmels’ sense of the term, as a “stranger” you are not one who came today and left tomorrow, but you are one who came today and stayed for tomorrow, be it in support of my work or in ideas I have carried with me. I am indebted to you all for the fruition of this dissertation. This is intended to be the start for a much larger manuscript and archival project. May you stay for what tomorrow brings. The journey of California’s Cross began as a senior capstone paper guided by William Swagerty at the University of the Pacific.

    In the Steps of John Wesley The Church of the Nazarene in Britain The Church 0/ the Nazarene in Britain by JACK FORDt B.D. t Ph.D. A thesis accepted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in the University of London Printed by NAZARENE PUBLISHING HOUSE Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A. COPYRIGHT 1968 BY NAZARENE PUBLISHING HOUSE FIRST PRINTING, 1968 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Dedication To my wife Munel and the Holiness People Preface Not only for the sociologist but also for the church historian the microcosm of the sect has special value. Factors and trends too complicated to be easily discerned in the great and ancient communions stand out sharply in the select society. In the study of the three movements which are the subject of this thesis, the Church of the Nazarene in Britain, the International Holiness Mission and the Calvary Holiness Church, causes of division can be learned afresh, familiar patterns of faith and order emerge, the evolution of the sect into a denomination and towards a church takes place, but with particular modifications which warn us not to make our categories nor our rules of development too rigid, and the desire for unity, given momentum by the pressure of internal and environmental forces, bears fruit in their uniting in a larger denomination. The history of these three movements is drawn from primary sources and fully annotated. Their origin is traced back to the British Holiness Movement of the latter part of the nineteenth century, which is shown to owe a real debt to the American Holiness Movement.
