| The member who took 100s of photographs of these documents (many released months ago and more to be released and uploaded from the 1920s & 1930s in due course) is thanked for all he has done for this valuable project. I know that all of you are grateful too – it could not have been done if it were not for his self-sacrifice and efforts – he took several trips spending many hours taking these photographs and hours travelling to and from the institution. Our prayers for this crucial information to be made available have been answered! It is amazing how he and I came into contact – God works in mysterious and circuitous ways at times and to Him goes the thanks and glory in all we do. But I ask you to join me in praying for the following to be found and made available to us: Late 1800s/early 1900s Church of God (seventh day) booklets and tracts Ministerial conference materials (handouts, notes, agendas) 1950s-1990s Ernest Martin’s paper on Pentecost (1961) Videos of evangelist’s sermons, AC lectures, Bible studies (especially Herman Hoeh) ‘Ministerial Letter’ from the 1960s (precursor to The Bulletin and PGR) A long list of what is needed can be found here The list below of what has been uploaded to the site this week is not exhaustive: Mrs Loma Armstrong. Handmaid and Servant of God WCG Statistics 1982(members, countries, highest ranking ministers, Org chart with names, USA congregations) 1972 Ministerial Conference Notes; and 1973 Ministerial Conference Notes Stavrinides to HWA (McNair questioned his baptism – shows that McNair had some insights), 27July1971 HWA letters to Basil Wolverton (1940/50s) Original Church Organization Restored Tithing article draft (early 1930s) Bible Study Quarterly. The KingdomChurch of God; and Expositor-Conversion1972-D&R- HWA, 24April1972(page 1 missing) 1973-Ernest Martin Memo re D&R 8Feb1973 What if Christ’s Apostle is removed? (1980) Radio Church of God Constitution (1946). Prior to that I only had a retyped copy on the site Many documents you may not have seen are here. And you can find these items here and also scattered in other places such as Ministerial Resources or History of WCG documents. In the HWA letters from the 1930s (yet to be released), the following themes stand out: Heavy-handedness/abuse by some ministers Holy Days should be accepted by the Church of God (Seventh Day) based at Salem, West Virginia Unity of doctrine around the 40 points that Andrew Dugger formulated Proclaiming a huge outreach – the Third Angel’s Warning to the world. As I have written before, this evolved into the Ezekiel Warning Message to the House of Israel in the end-times by 1941 Of course, many other issues or news may be found therein.
