  • Core Like a Rock: Luther’S Theological Center
    OCTOBER 2, 2017 CORE LIKE A ROCK: LUTHER’S THEOLOGICAL CENTER Kenneth A. Cherney, Jr., PhD WISCONSIN LUTHERAN SEMINARY CORE LIKE A ROCK: LUTHER’S THEOLOGICAL CENTER You have asked me in this essay to “review the central core of Luther’s confession of divine revelation.” That is interestingly put. Lots of things have cores, and they function in different ways. Apples have cores that you throw away. When I was growing up, Milwaukee had its “inner core,” defined in 1960 by a special mayoral commission as the area between Juneau Avenue on the south, 20th Street on the west, Holton Street on the east, and Keefe Avenue on the north—a blighted part of town, so they said, where people from my tribe didn’t go.1 The earth’s “core” is a glob of molten nickel/iron wrapped around a solid iron ball, and those who claim to know these things say our core generated the heat that caused Florida to break off from Africa and remain stuck on Georgia and Alabama,2 for which many persons are grateful. The “core” of a nuclear reactor is like that; it’s where the fissionable material is found and where the reaction happens that is the whole point. So is the cylinder of “core” muscles around your abdomen, without which you can have biceps the size of Dwayne Johnson’s and when the bad guys show up you’re still basically George McFly, only in a tighter shirt. That is how I understand my assignment. You want to hear about Luther’s spiritual fulcrum, the point around which everything turned.

AND NAOMI KATHLEEN IVEY HORNER UPDATED June 30, 2021 AN HISTORICAL RECORDS VOLUME PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE ARCHIVES & HISTORY MINISTRY TEAM Printed by McElvany & Company Printing and Publishing 1 Copyright © 2021 by The Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church All Rights Reserved 2 PREFACE The Historical Volume Church Records Western Pennsylvania Conference of The United Methodist Church was last printed in 2003. In order to keep the Church Records current, Janet & Norman C. Young were retained to update the more recent appointments and make necessary corrections as new information became available. Since their death, Naomi Horner has graciously volunteered to continue updating the volume. New information comes from the readers making corrections and suggestions. New information also comes from Naomi’s continued research on the companion volume Pastoral Records. The Western Pennsylvania Commission on Archives & History decided to make this revision and update available on these webpages www.wpaumc.org0H so that the most current information remains accessible and for corrections to continue to refine the document. This volume has had long history of Revision. Described by Herbert E. Boyd in his 1957 volume on the Erie Methodist Preface as a “compendium…intended primarily as an administrative tool.” He then credits forerunners back to 1898. At that time, this primarily contained Pastoral Records. Grafton T. Reynolds edited for the Pittsburgh Methodist Episcopal Church a similar volume through 1927. W. Guy Smeltzer divided his 1969 revision between chapters on Pastoral Records and Church Records.

  • History of Methodism in Denver by John Alton Templin
    INTRODUCTION The Work of Dr. Metcalf As this work is undertaken, there are two research projects completed already on the history of the early Methodist Church in Colorado. In August, 1948, Dr. Kenneth E. Metcalf completed his dissertation The Beginnings of Methodism in Colorado, treating essentially, the years 1859-1863.1 Dr. Metcalf has completed a masterful task, made even more difficult by the scarcity of early records, and complete histories of the various churches. He has given new life to many men who had become little more than names in Conference Journals, and new meaning to statistics filed away and almost forgotten. Especially noteworthy was his treating of the early history of the state, that the Methodist development might be seen to unfold in its natural environment, and have coherence, as well as its true relationship to the state‟s development as a whole. Perhaps some explanation as to the specific dates which are chosen would be in order. It was on July 3, 1859, that Rev. William H. Goode preached in what is now the city of Denver.2 It is following the work of Goode and his associates, Jacob Adriance, that the Methodist Church was permanently organized in Denver. However, a Methodist service had been held several months before (in the fall of 1858) by a George W. Fisher, in cabins, saloons, or preaching in the open air.3 The Rocky Mountain Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized July 10, 1863, with Bishop Edward R. Ames presiding.4 It is this most important era of Methodism with which Dr.

    THE GOOD WORD Taylorsville United Methodist Church 4356 Ridge Road, Mount Airy, Maryland 21771 November 2020 www.taylorsvilleumc.org Rev. Patty Robinson, Pastor Phone: (410) 875-4101 E-mail: [email protected] The Story of Christian Symbols told by Taylorsville UMC Stained Glass Windows Window One – Epworth League Symbol As mentioned last month, I will be writing a series of articles based on the Christian symbols inserted in the stained glass windows in the sanctuary. It was a bit difficult to write this first one, because I did not know which window to select at first, but decided on one of the two hidden ones – The Epworth League Window An example of an Epworth League symbol in a stained-glass window. (this is not the window at Taylorsville UMC) First of all, for those of you who are not familiar with the Epworth League it was founded in 1889 in Cleveland, OH and was a young adult association for people aged 18 to 35. At its conception, the purpose of the League was the promotion of intelligent and vital piety among the young people of the Church: To encourage and cultivate Christ - centered character in young adults around the world through community building, missions, and spiritual growth. The League takes its name from the village of Epworth in Lincolnshire , England , the birthplace of John Wesley and Charles Wesley . Its members are known as Epworthians. The original Epworth League existed from 1889 to 1939. After denominational mergers among Methodists in the 1930s, the Epworth League became known as the Methodist Youth Fellowship; it survives today as the United Methodist Youth Fellowship.

  • Youth Ministry in American Methodism's Mission J
    YOUTH MINISTRY IN AMERICAN METHODISM'S MISSION J. Warren Smith "To promote an earnest, intelligent, practical, and loyal spiritual life in the young people of our church, to aid them in constant growth in grace and in the attainment of purity of heart..., "1 this clarion call appeared in The Epworth League Book soon after 1889. Goals were thereby set for a society which would have enormous effect on the young people of Methodism, influencing their outlook on missions for generations to come. Early Youth Organizations The few youth organizations previously in existence were, in theory, designed to cater to the religious needs of young people and young adults. This had been chiefly the twenty-year period following the Civil War. These societies 'were greatly influenced by heavy Wesleyan-New England puritanism. Asa result thesocieties preached a staunch morality, tending to lecture their members. So ill at ease did the youth become that "at one time 75% of the young men in the nation were unchurched."2 A new course of thought and action was desperately needed. Clearly there were two essential goals for a much needed Methodist witness in late 19th century America: (1) bringing the youth back into the fold, and (2) training Christian soldiers for the ministry. It was not until men such as Bishop John H. Vincent realized that morals could be taught not only through the preaching of good works but by getting the young Methodists involved in the actual doing of good works, becoming engaged in missions. The logic of the idea was that while young people are participating in good works--deeds of Christian charity--they would have no time to become involved in immoral activities.
