THE CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES

The Congregational Christian Churches of the United States by delegates assembled, reserving all the rights and cherished memories of their historic past and affirming loyalty to the basic principles of unity and democracy in church polity, hereby set forth the principles of Christian fellowship immeraorially held by these churches.

We hold sacred the freedom of the individual soul and the right of private judgment. We stand for the autonomy of the local church and its independence of ecclesiastical control. We cherish the fellowship of churches, united in district, state and national bodies for counsel and co-operation. Affirming these convic- tions we hold to the unity of the Church of Christ, and will unite with all its branches in fellowsliip and hearty co-operation; and we earnestly seek that the prayer of our Lord for the unity of his followers may be speedilj- answered

We find in the Bible the supreme rule of faith and life, but recognize wide room for differences in inter- pretation. We therefore base our union upon the acceptance of Christianity as primarily a way of life and not upon uniformity of theological opinion or any uniform practice of ordinances. (From the preamble of the Constitution of the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches.)

Form — Congregational Christian Churches are bodies of self-governing Christian believers organized on a democratic basis in close association with a great body of similar churches throughout the world, cov- enanting together for worship, work, and fellowship.

Origin — Congregationalism has been implicit in Christianity from the beginning, but did not emerge in its present corporate form until in England, in the sixteenth century, the pressure of state control of religious worship forced into separate existence that part of the Church in which Congregational principles were cherished.

The Christian Churches originated spontaneously in several parts of the United States in the latter part of the eighteenth century. In each instance the movement was directed toward freedom from excessive ecclesiastical authority over local churches and ministers.

Principles — The Congregational Churches are characterized by their faith in God, their fellowship in Christ, and their freedom in the Spirit.

Practice — Acknowledging Christ as the only authoritative head of the Church, Congregational Chris- tian Churches exalt nothing trivial or sectarian, repudiate dogmatism and all legislative control of the spiritual life, regard a living Christian faith as the only prerequisite for church membership, and seek to develop in the church educational efficiency, evangelistic zeal, and unselfish devotion to the extension of the Kingdom of God.

Achievements — Congregationalism sailed to America in the Mayflower as the church of the Pilgrim Fathers. Settling first at Plymouth, then later fusing with the Puritan colonists that followed them, these founders of Congregationalism spread over New England, and through their democratic ideals laid the foun- dations for the free church, the free state, the free school, and the free social life of our country. The Congre- gational Churches have been the pioneer Protestant churches of our nation in the promotion of education, missions, evangelism, and in most movements for Christian union, religious progress, and social reform.

While the Christian Church originated later, and while its numbers and resources have not been so large, its ideals and principles have been identical with those of the Congregational Churches.

The Local Church — The local church is self-administering and is the final arbiter of all questions relating to its own life.

The Association — A church is recognized denominationally by securing membership in some associa- tion of churches, usually consisting of from ten to fifty such churches, located in geographical proximity to one another. These associations are charged with the holding of ministerial credentials for ordained ministers and the performance of common Christian service in behalf of their component churches.

The State Conference — The state or district conference is made up of the churches within its bounds holding membership in the several associations. Mutual helpfulness to all the churches, and the carrjdng forward of church extension and missionary work within its own borders, are the functions of the conference. Usually the conference maintains a paid superintendent and a central office.

The General Council — What the State Conference is to the state the General Council is to the nation, with appropriate variations. It also becomes the unifying agency for co-ordinating the organization and work of the missionary societies. (See following pages.)

6 Year Book, Congregational Christian Churches [1941

GENERAL COUNCIL ORGANIZATION

The General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches was organized on June 27, 1931, at Seattle, Washington, for the purpose of carrying on the functions hitherto performed by the National Coun- cil of the Congregational Churches and the General Convention of the Christian Church. The older organiza- tions continue their formal existence for the time being for possible legal requirements. Details of organization will be found on the following pages.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the General Council is to foster and express the substantial unity of the Congregational Christian Churches in faith, purpose, polity and work; to consult upon and devise measures and maintain agencies for the promotion of the common interests of the Kingdom of God; to co-operate with any corpora- tion or body under control of or affiliated with the Congregational or Christian Churches or any of them; and to do and promote the work of these churches in their national, international and interdenominational relations, and in general so far as legally possible to perform on behalf of the united churches the various functions hitherto performed by the National Council for the Congregational Churches and by the General Convention for the Christian Church, it being understood that where technical legal questions may be in- volved the action of the separate bodies shall be secured. (Article II of the Constitution.)

FUNCTIONS

As the name indicates, the General Council is a voluntary organization of Congregational Christian Churches for the purpose of conference regarding their common interests. The central function of the Council is to provide a gathering for useful discussion of questions of concern to the cliurches, and so to furnish in- spiration for increased devotion and effectiveness.

Associated with the function of discussion and inspiration is that of the election of officers and agencies for carrying on the common work of the churches. Specifically, the Council provides for gathering and pub- lishing annually the statistics for the churches as given in this Year Book. For the purpose of stimulating fellowship and of co-ordinating the various agencies, offices are maintained with a small staff of secretaries.

MEMBERS

Each State Conference or similar organization of churches is entitled as such to elect four delegates, and four additional delegates for each 5,000 members. In each delegation there is an equal number of ministers and lay people, and of lay men and lay women. Each college and theological seminary recognized by the Council is entitled to one delegate. The Moderator, the Secretaries, the Treasurer and editors of national church periodicals are members ex-officiis. Delegates appointed by other Christian communions serve as Ecumenical Members.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Between the sessions of the Council an Executive Committee chosen by the Council attends to details of business, arranging and submitting programs for the meetings, and seeks to correlate the administration of the several missionary societies and boards affiliated with the Council in the interest of economy and effi- ciency. This committee is also the agency for correlating the activities of the several Commissions.

COMMISSIONS

The Commission on Evangelism and Devotional Life maintains an office for service to the churches in the vital field indicated by its name. There are several other Commissions, none of them being charged with executive functions to any extent but rather with study and report, each in its own field, with such co- operation with the executive agencies of the denomination as seems feasible.

MISSIONARY SOCIETIES

The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and the Board of Home Missions of the Congregational Christian Churches have as their controlling membership the membership of the Cieneral Council itself. Meeting in separate sessions under the direction of their own officers, the membership of each of these societies is in large majority identical with that of the General Council, so that in matters of common concern action taken by the General Council may usually be taken by each of the societies without further discussion, thus giving unity of operation in matters of common concern and making the missionary societies the instruments of the churches themselves.

MEETINGS

Meetings of the General Council are held biennially in the even numbered years. The next meeting will be held at Durham, New Hampshire, June 18-25, 1942.

General Council 15

Organization

1. Membership. Tho Missions Council consists of the thirty-six elected nienil'cts together with the Presi- dent and the \'ico Presidents of The Board of Home Missions, the thirty-six elected members with the President and Vice Presidents of the American Board, and the Secretary of the General Council, ex officio.

2. Joint Cabinet. The work of the Missions Council is administered by the .loint Cabinet, thus providing the lOxecutive Secretary with a connecting link to the administrative heads of the National Societies and of the State Conferences.

Article IX of the Rules of the Missions Council provides that the Minister of the Missions Council, the Executive Vice Presidents of The Board of Home Missions and of The American Board, the Minister of the General Council, the Associate Executive Secretary who shall be a woman, and one State Superintendent elected by the State Superintendents' Conference as hereinafter provided shall constitute the Joint Cabinet of the Missions Council. This Cabinet meets regularly. It is responsible for formulating promotional plans and policies and is the connecting link between the executive boards and the promotional staff.

3. Ad Interim Committee. The Ad Interim Committee is composed of thirteen persons chosen as follows: Two members of the Board of Directors of The Board of Home Missions designated by The Board of Home Missions, two members of the Prudential Committee of the American Board designated by the Prudential Committee, the Chairman of the Missions Council, ex officio, two State Superintendents elected by the State Superintendents' Conference, and the Chairman of the Women State Presidents. The Minister of the General Council, the Minister and Associate Executive Secretary of the Missions Council, and the Executive Vice Presidents of the Boards are corresponding members.

4. Joint Staff. The Joint Staff operates under the chairmanship and direction of the Executive Secretary and includes the secretaries of missionary education and promotion of both the home and foreign boards, with two representatives from the Conference of State Superintendents and the Chairman of the Women State Presidents.

Processes

1 . Meetings. The Missions Council meets ordinarily but once a year. This meeting takes place in connec- tion with the midwinter gathering of the Board of Directors of The Board of Home Missions and of the Pru- dential Committee of the American Board, thus economizing in time and travel expen.ses. At the annual midwinter meeting the Survey Committee of tlie General Council, the members of the Council for Social Action, the State Conference Superintendents, the Women State Presidents and secretaries of the societies sit with the Missions Council in joint session as corresponding members.

2. Literature. One of the important functions of the Missions Council is the publication of literature setting forth our entire missionary enterprise.

3. Field Work. Under the direction of the Executive Secretary the members of the Joint Staff co-operate in a unified program of education and promotion. This work is conducted through the state organizations and endeavors to develop through actual contact with the churches those processes which seem to be most effective for disseminating missionary information and stimulating benevolent contributions. This process is so intimately related to the financial operations of the local churches that this latter interest is combined with the former, thus helping the churches to financial strength.

Information

The support of our Mission Boards depends upon current gifts, legacies and the income from invested funds. Through the Missions Council, donors, lawyers and trust officers are supplied with confidential and impartial information concerning the financial standing, fields of work, needs and opportunities of any or all Congregational Christian Corporations, including the General Council and its Commissions, the Home and Foreign Missionary Boards, State Conferences, city exten.sion societies and the local churches.

The local church may ordinarily secure information directly from its own state oflBce. Persons not know- ing to whom to write locally are invited to communicate direct with the Missions Council.

The A. B. C. F. M. is the mother of foreign mission boards in North America. Founded in 1810 to make possible the realization of the vision of the men of the Haj'stack, it immediately invited the Presbyterian General Assembly to form a similar society with which it could co-operate, but the Assembly replied that one organization of the sort was enough and "urged its churches to adopt the American Board as their foreign missionary agency." The Baptist Missionary Union was formed when some of the first Ameiican Board Mis- sionaries became Baptists. By 1826, the Presbyterians and the Reformed Church in Ameiica had developed the United Foreign Missionary Society, which in that year was merged with the American Board. The process of segmentation began in 1837 when the "Old School" Presbyterians left the American Board, followed in 1839 by the Central and Southern auxiliary boards. In 18-16, "because of differences of opinion as to the Board's attitude toward slavery, some members withdrew to aid in organizing the American Missionary Association." In 1857, the Reformed Church in America withdrew to form its own Board and in 1870, the "New School" Presbyterians rejoined their "Old School" associates and transferred their support to the Foreign Mission Board which they had formed.

The American Board maintains missions in East, West and South Africa, China, Japan, India, Ceylon, the Philippines, Micronesia, Mexico, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Syria. The work in Micronesia is now a part of that in Japan.

The spread of warfare and increasing tensions during 1941 seem leading toward the most thorough test of the faith acquired through the work of the Board which has ever been faced. In our fields in East Asia and in Europe, missionaries have largely either been forced to withdraw or been interned or restricted in their activities. Christian churches and institutions have very largel.v been deprived of American support. This process may extend to other fields. We lielieve the Christian community will emerge from the valley of the

shadow of war intact, possibly reduced in numbers, but strengthened in spirit. The fields in Free China, India, Africa, the Near East and Mexico which have not yet been directly affected report increased calls for service and new opportunities, especially in education. The years of patient preparation of national leaders for the regular program and for these crisis days seem to be bearing fruit.

The year closed August 31, 1941 with an operating surplus of $24,979.75 made possible by strict econ- omy in expenditures and the sacrificial giving of 2,576 individual donors who contributed $88,806, or $2,972 more than last year. The accumulated debt was wiped out. The total income for the year including gifts designated for objects outside the regular budget was $1,039,369.95.

Statistical Summary

The support of the work of The Board of Home Missions depends upon current gifts and the income from invested funds. Bequests and conditional gifts are earnestly solicited.

FORM OF BEQUEST — I give and bequeath to The Board of Home Missions of the Congregational and Christian Churches, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the States of Connecticut

and New York and of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, incorporated in 1937, the sum of

Dollars to be applied for the uses and purposes of said corporation.

The Board of Home Missions of the Congregational and Christian Churches has been appointed as .agent by each of the following corporations. The field work of these corporations is now administered by this one Board, but the original corporations are still in existence and hold title to their own assets. Any bequests, therefore, may run directly to these corporations.

The American Missionary Association

The Association represents the brotherly helping hand of the Congregational Christians stretched out to the disadvantaged groups of America — particularly the Negro, Indian, Puerto Rican and Southern Highlander. It remains, as it began, a Crusade of Brotherhood standing in a day of race friction and class discrimination for the undiluted application to human relations of Jesus' way of life.

Upon foundations put down in earlier days by the Association there stand today Hampton, Atlanta and Fisk Universities, Berea College. Talladega, Tougaloo, Tillotson and LeMoyne Colleges still depend on the Association for a large share of their support. A substantial appropriation is made to Dillard University in New Orleans, and a modest grant to Fisk University.

The Council for Social Action was created by the General Council at Oberlin in June, 1934. The moti- vating spirit behind that action is clearly indicated in the words of the vote:

"Stirred by the deep need of humanity for justice, security, and spiritual freedom and growth, aware of the urgent demand within our churches for action to match our gospel, and clearly persuaded that the Gospel of Jesus can be the solvent of social as of all other problems, we hereby vote:

"That the General Council create the Council for Social Action of the Congregational and Christian Churches of the United States of America.

"That the purposes of this Council for Social Action shall be to help the churches to make the Christian gospel more effective in society, national and world-wide, through research, education, and action, in co-oper- ation with the Home and Foreign Boards, Conferences and Associations, and local churches. It is proposed that the Council shall increasingly cooperate with the Federal Council of Churches in the creation of a pro- gram which shall be genuinely interdenominational. In its research, the Council will aim to be impartial, its only bias being that of the Christian view of life; its educational efforts will be directed primarily toward the local churches but will also envisage the cultivation of public opinion; in action, the Council may, on occasion, intercede directly in specific situations. . . .

"That in launching this Council for Social Action we envisage a new kind of churchmanship which, enlisting the volunteer services of a group of eighteen outstanding men and women of social vision, wisdom, and Christian purpose, and commanding the services of five or six strong leaders in the fields of international relations, race relations, and economic statesmanship, will carry the campaign of education and action based on careful research out among our entire constituency at home and abroad. Believing that the church will find itself as it loses itself in the struggle to achieve a warless, just, and brotherly world, we launch this ven- ture, dedicating ourselves to unremitting work for a day in which all men find peace, security and abundant life."

The Council for Social Action invites each church to organize a local committee or council for Social Action and welcomes the opportunity to co-operate with such local groups in planning for the larger effec- tiveness of the social program of the church.

The Council for Social Action invites correspondence from ministers and laymen.

Andover Seminary has become affiliated with The Newton Theological Institution to form the new Andover Newton Theological School which is located at Newton Centre, in the vicinity of Boston. The combination of the two schools and the location, in greater Boston, make new and unusual advantages pos- sible for theological students interested in taking their professional study in New England. The combined resources pro\'ide for an enrichment of the curriculum and an enlargement of the faculty. The library facilities are unexcelled.

The Andover Newton Theological School in affiliation with Harvard gives the students the privilege of taking any work in Harvard open to theological students and without additional expense. In greater Boston and New England are nianj' of the oldest and most famous of the educational institutions of the country. As Andover Newton is in the midst of them, the students can enjoy the cultural and traditional advantages which bring college and professional students to Boston, not only from all over the country but from all over the world.

The co-operation of the churches in the vicinity offers many opportunities where, on the basis of co- operative scholarships, students can make their way and at the same time gain valuable and practical ex- perience. The School offers scholarship grants, as far as it is able, to students dependent upon self-support and seeks to aid in securing for thera church positions in which service can be given in return. Special fellow- ships are awarded to exceptional students.

The School grants three degrees: b. d., s. t. m., and m. r. e. The b. d. is granted after three years' study to students who have had a college coui se. The m. r. e. is granted to women students with .similar preparation after two years' study. The s. t. m. is granted after at least a year of graduate study and the presentation of satisfactory thesis.

THE CHICAGO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

5757 University Avenue, Chicago, 111.

A graduate training school for tlie ministry and religious vocations, including religious education and church social work. Degrees of m. a. and b. d.

Aliiert W. P.\lmer, President

Ross Snyder, Director of Studies

Robert Cashman, Business Manager

The Chicago Theological Seminary, established in 1855 to furnish training for Christian leadership ac- cording to the highest academic standards, has been a pioneer in the introduction into the theological curric- ulum of several unique features designed to meet the changing spiritual needs of succeeding generations. For example, Dr. Graham Taylor was called to the chair of Christian Economics when such a professorship was practically unknown. Recent developments have been in the fields of research in personality problems; in studies of the city and rural churches; in culture through art and drama, literature and music; and in the su- pervision of the practical work of students with a view to their development as leaders of the institutions of religion in the modern world.

In 1915 the institution removed to the neighborhood of the University of Chicago, with which it is affiliated through the Divinity School of the University. Thus Seminary students enjoj- the advantages of a University which is internationally known for its high standards and academic productiveness. In .lime, 1928, the new buildings of the Seminary were completed and dedicated.

The Seminary is open to both men and women on equal terms. A catalog will be gladly sent on request.

The Graduate School of Theology provides the opportunity for college graduates to get adequate train- ing for Christian service in the ministry of the church, secretaryship of the Young Women's Christian Associ- ation or Young Men's Christian Association at home or abroad, for leadership in religious education at home or abroad and for Christian social service in cit.v or country communities. Throughout its history, though independent by charter, Oberlin has sustained the most friendly relationship with Congregational churches and work.

Equipment — In September of 1931 the School of Theology moved into its present quarters. It occupies a group of buildings designed by Mr. Cass Gilbert and made possible by the generous gift of two friends of the School, the late Mrs. D. Willis James and Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The theological group, built in North Italian style, is composed of two buildings connected by cloisters to form a quadrangle. One of these buildings is used for classroom, chapel and administration purposes, and the other for dormitories for single and mar- ried students, a refectory, a library, a recreation room and a gymnasium. These buildings compose a quad- rangle of unusual beauty and utility. Students in the School of Theology use the main library of Oberlin Col- lege which contains 404.715 bound volumes and as many pamphlets. The library files include the leading secular and religious newspapers and the leading monthlies and quarterlies. The Oberlin library is one of the largest college libraries in the United States. The library and seminar rooms in the theological quadrangle house about twenty thousand of the most active books in the theological section and the periodicals required by the theological students. The gymnasium and recreation rooms in the quadrangle are well equipped for physical training and indoor games. The athletic fields and tennis courts of Oberlin College provide amply for outdoor exercise.

Terms of Admission — College graduation and church membership are required. Men and women of smy denomination or race are admitted. This year 18 denominations are represented in the student body.

Degrees in Course — The degree of Bachelor of Divinity is granted at the completion of a three years' course covering ninety semester hours of work chosen from a broad range of courses set up in a curriculum which recently has been restudied and revised. The degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Theology are also offered.

Special Assets — Students in the Graduate School of Theology have the advantage of beirtg a part of the student body of one of the most cosmopolitan colleges in America. They share in the university privileges and the scholarly standards and fine Christian ideals of Oberlin. Oberlin is a center of unique and broad mission- ary interests, and has contributed largely to the missionary forces of the Congregational Church. The Oberlin Conservatory of Music is one of the leading conservatories of the world, and makes available unusual musical advantages. Oberlin is equipped with a splendid Art Building, a fine Art Library which includes a collection of over 60,000 stereopticon art slides. Living expense is moderate and scholarships with the opportunities for self-help in the community make complete self-support possible.

Pacific School of Religion is adjacent to the University of California, the libraries and the courses of which institution are of great service to the students of this School.

Pacific School of Religion trains men and women for the pastorate and religious education.

A College degree or its equivalent is required for admission. Apply for information concerning degrees and advanced courses.

The E. T. Earl Foundation brings eminent leaders and scholars to the School for special lectures and conferences.

The Palestine Institute is a laboratory for Biblical studies, employing among other resources the noteworthy archaeological treasures being recovered from the explorations made by Dr. Bad6 at Tell-en Nasbeh, and by Dr. McCown in Tran.sjordania.

Pacific School of Religion is on the accredited list of the American Association of Theological Schools.

The location of the School is wonderfully beautiful, and the climate is even, cool, and stimulative, favor- able for study during the entire year.
