To continue the preparation towards considering the pre-war decline of Universalism and how Universalists responded to it. Last time, I looked at documents I’d already published about ecumenical overtures; this time, works related to polity and administration.
- “The Five Year Program” (1925) [at my universalistchristian.net site]
- 1925 Universalist General Convention constitution and bylaws, part 1
- 1925 Universalist General Convention constitution and bylaws, part 2
- 1925 Universalist General Convention constitution and bylaws, part 3
- 1925 Universalist General Convention constitution and bylaws, part 4
- Reviewing the 1927 Universalist Year Book
- Universalist work in Korea, 1937 report
I need more from the Thirties, and the documents I found a few months ago will help fill the gap.
While slightly post-war:
- Parish Practice in Universalist Churches (1946) (selections) [at my universalistchristian.net site]
- Universalist polity document from 1951 [which includes reference to the 1946 revisions]
I think I need to look at the scope of programs and budgets soon.
