Herald of Holiness HERALD OF HOLINESS AFTER THE SHOCK ... THE SONG CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE he colleges and universities of the Church of the Nazarene stand in a tradition that reaches back to the medieval university where life and thought were permeated by faith, Tlove, and hope in God. This tradition found unique expression in American soil in Christian colleges and universities. Harvard, Yale. Princeton, and Columbia—to mention a few—were all children of the church. The presidents of these schools were philosopher- theologians whose burning conviction was that faith and learning, religion and culture not only may but must be brought into active and creative integration. It is in this tradition that our Nazarene schools were given birth. In a day when only a relatively small percentage of Americans were college graduates. Dr. Phineas F. Bresee and other early holiness leaders saw the key to the future of the WILLIAM M. GREATHOUSE Church of the Nazarene was in establishing holiness colleges General Superintendent where both our preachers and laity might become well educated persons in an environment that would deepen their devotion to God and their love for humanity. “The Church of the Nazarene is face to face with the great problem of the education of her young people," Dr. H. Orton Wiley wrote in 1915. “The ideals formed in youth are the ideals bodied forth in life. The conditions which made the Church of the Nazarene a necessity are demanding a type of education which only our schools and colleges can furnish. Others may educate their own according to their ideals, but the Church of the Nazarene will be able to perpetuate her high ideals of Christian experience, her intense and enthusiastic loyalty to Jesus Christ, her unswerving faith in the authority of the Scriptures and her aggressive type of evangelism and missionary effort only as she instills these ideals into the minds and hearts of her young people. Without this there can be no future for us as a church." These words are just as true today as in 1915. Thank God, our church has not committed the grave error of leaving the work of education to state or secular institutions. Through the years of our history we have sacrificed to make possible holiness schools where the best in education is wedded to the best in religion. Our colleges and universities are not merely church-related, they are the church educating our youth, endeavoring in the name and spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ to prepare them for life and service to God and humanity with the view of preserving our mission to spread scriptural holiness to the ends of the earth.

[Mrs. Justus Street Hotchkiss, the compiler of this book, died after a short illness on January 24, 1912. While most of the book was in type when she was taken ill, she was unable to give much attention to the proofs or to make final revision.

  • Why These Schools?
    Why These Schools? � � � 21 captures f � 01 Nov 2002 - 08 Mar 2016 � About this capture Papers by Author Papers by Date Email Why These Schools? Stan Ingersol Historical Perspectives on Nazarene Higher Education Each religious movement breeds its own folklores, and a folklore whose truth is often assumed is that Nazarene colleges were founded to train ministers. This folklore has some merit, for certain Nazarene colleges did originate from a desire to train Christian workers—though not ministers exclusively. But in other cases the folklore is not true at all. Some Nazarene colleges began with the intention to establish a liberal arts college, while others emerged from schools founded originally to educate grammar and high school age youth. In the case of the latter, the focus was on educating a Christian laity and forming the identity of Nazarene youth in a way that integrated basic educational achievement with moral and spiritual training rooted in certain theological understandings. Thus, any generalizations about the purpose of early Nazarene colleges must be broad enough to take into account different intentions—training Christian workers and educating a Christian laity. Training Schools for Christian Workers The origins of present–day Point Loma Nazarene College offers a place to begin. It is commonly asserted that Phineas Bresee was the college's founder, and in a larger sense that is true. But if being a founder means being the initiator, then Bresee is not its founder. On this point, there is agreement between Timothy L. Smith (the late dean of Nazarene church history), Carl Bangs (author of the first critical biography of Bresee), and Ron Kirkemo (author of the first critical history of the college).

CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE Nazarene Higher Education . A w orld o f Influence As the Church of the Nazarene gathers for the General Assembly this summer, one stunning observation is the worldwide impact of our colleges, universities, and theological semi­ nary. Many of our missionaries—doctors, nurses, administrators, preachers, and teach­ ers—are living witnesses to the value and influence of Nazarene higher education. From the earliest days of the Church of the Nazarene there has been a great partnership be­ tween evangelism and education. These twin thrusts from the Great Commission continue to be expressed through the work of our schools. Nazarene colleges, universities, and theological seminary are inseparably linked to the church in this vital partnership of ministry.

  • Join Us for the Samaritan Hospital Reunion at Homecoming & Family Weekend! President’S Letter
    MesT H E se ng er NORTHWEST NAZARENE UNIVERSITY Fall 2012 Vol.100, Num.3 JOIN US FOR THE SAMARITAN HOSPITAL REUNION AT HOMECOMING & FAMILY WEEKEND! PRESIDENT’S LETTER Don’t you love stories, the way stories unfold and the way stories are told? We are all shaped by story. We live out our existence within the context of shared stories—families have stories, churches have stories, even businesses have stories. Throughout life we hold on to the characters and plot develop - ments of the stories that are meaningful to us. They become our guiding narra - tive. Neal Postman says it this way, “Our genius lies in our capacity to make meaning through the creation of narratives that give point to our labors, exalt our history, elucidate the present, and give direction to our future.” The NNU Centennial is a time for storytelling. We pause to remember, to retell stories, to laugh, to cry, for each of us associated with NNU has a story to tell. It is our story, but it is also part of the NNU story. It is the convergence of these two entities—individual and university—that yields the life-shaping narratives that each of us is writing, and each of us remembers. We will soon launch the Northwest Nazarene University Centennial Celebration. We light the Centennial candles at the 2012 Centennial Homecoming Kickoff and blow out the candles at the 2013 Centennial Homecoming Finale. Amidst the reunions and revelry we want to listen to our story. To better accomplish this NNU Centennial goal, we have sought the able and expert assistance of two of NNU’s favorite sons—Dr.
