University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

University Microfilms, A Xerox Education Company PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research was done for partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University. The writer is a student in the School of Social Work. The purpose of the research was to describe and classify the ends advocated by church groups to Congressional hearings related to poverty from 196i* through 1971. Categories of major ends advocated in regard to problems of suffering, such as poverty, were derived from an exploration of contemporary literature on theologies. These categories were used to describe and classify the ends advocated by church groups in the Congres­ sional hearings♦ Even though statements to Congress were primarily in secular terms, it was assumed that recommendations of the ends sought in regard to poverty would parallel recommendations made in regard to suffering in formal theological language. With a feeling of joy because of the association in learning, the writer wishes to acknowledge the contributions to this research of Dr. Leonard Schneideman (the major advisor), Dr. Milton S. Rosner, and Dr. John H. Behling. VITA September 3, 1937 Born— Dallas, Texas 1958............ B.A,, North Texas State University, Denton Texas 1960............

'why' is a truly dreadful word." She continued: Why is there meat and fruit And liquor and ice for you? Why is there nothing but greasy grits And flour and beans for me? ^ These questions reflect a major problem of suffering in our nation— the social inequality of poverty. How is this problem of suffering explained? What ends in its regard are sought through national policy? Religion has always been a major source for explaining why oneself or others suffer as well as prescribing what to do about it. In recent years, church groups have also increasingly submitted statements to United States Congressional hearings related to poverty. These state­ ments have often advocated ends to be sought through national policy in regard to the sufferers of poverty. In this research, the problem was to establish a framework of major theological

  • Dr. Gabriel J. Fackre Dr. Gabriel Joseph Fackre Was Born in 1926 In
    Dr. Gabriel J. Fackre Dr. Gabriel Joseph Fackre was born in 1926 in Jersey City, New Jersey. He died at home in Oregon City, Oregon on January 31, 2018. He is survived by his five children – Bonnie, Gabrielle (and husband Thomas), Judith, Skye (and husband Christopher), and Kirk (and wife Alice) - as well as eight treasured grandchildren and their spouses - Ben (and wife Kristin), Gil (and wife Michelle), Acacia (and husband Michael), Cole, Kyr, Charlotte, Campbell, and Casey - and one great grandson - Sawyer. He has six valued nieces and nephews – Dorothy Neva, Linda, Virginia, Douglas, Donald, and Betsy. His beloved wife of 72 years, Dorothy, died in October 2017. They were able to celebrate 72 years of marriage and were a love story for the decades. Gabriel Fackre was a preeminent Protestant theologian, ecumenical in his faith. Raised a Baptist, he and Dorothy joined the Evangelical and Reformed Church as they looked for a church in which to begin ministry; the E&R then merged with the Congregational Christian churches to form the United Church of Christ. Dr. Fackre was a formative figure in the UCC, keeping it rooted in the generous orthodoxy he proclaimed and taught. He helped found the Craigville Theological Colloquy and the Confessing Christ movement to give clergy, seminarians, and laypeople forums for theological inquiry to ground their understanding of the faith, preaching, pastoral work, and witness in the world. He was instrumental on the Lutheran-Reformed dialogue team whose work led to the full communion agreement between denominations celebrated in 1998. As an ordained pastor and a professor, he understood the bond between word and deed, and he lived that as a standard bearer of the faith.

Is that defi nite article in the title, Jesus Savior of the world—not just “a world,” or “my world”—a response to an interfaith issue posed by the events of that day?

  • THEOLOGICAL WORLDS in the UNITED CHURCH of CHRIST Collision, Chaos, Or Complementarity? Lee Barrett
    ~t . I,:·'r :l 1 THEOLOGICAL WORLDS IN THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST Collision, Chaos, or Complementarity? Lee Barrett The United Church of Christ has been accused of theological vacuity and doctrinal anmesia, often being dismissed as "Christianity light" or the "Untied Church of Christ." Frequently the complaint is that the UCC has substituted the uncritical evocation of religious sentiment or political fervor for rigorous theological reflection. As Roger Shinn has observed, critics have scoffed that theology in the United Church of Christ is little more than "a series of ad hoc opinions usually added on to some practical concern," with "an occasional invocation of biblical and doctrinal proof texts on a basis of convenience."J According to some critics, this alleged tendency to use theol• ogy to justify positions adopted for ulterior reasons is rooted in the UCC's antiquated habit of regarding the truth of certain religious experiences and socio-political values as being self-evident. According to the UCC's detrac• tors, the naIve "modernist" belief that the meaning of concepts like "love" and "justice" is immediately clear to all right-thinking people dissuades the denomination from engaging in any serious theological conversation that presupposes the contested nature of all religious convictions. This caricature misdescribes the actual theological situation in the UCe. The problem with the UCC is not a paucity of theology, but is rather an embarrassment of theological riches. A kaleidoscopic superabundance of theology has characterized the UCC from its inception, generated by the irenic experiment of uniting four very different traditions and a multiplicity of "hidden histories." Inspired partly by the Reformed view that God tran• scends all human efforts to formulate divine truth, the UCC has exhibited a commitment to the revelatory freedom of the Holy Spirit and has resisted Lee Barrett serves as Professor of Systematic Theology at Lancaster Theological Seminary and is a co-editor of Prism.
