The Making of an American Church: Essays Commemorating the Jubille Year of the Evangelical United Brethren Church

The life of the Evangelical United Brethren Church (EUB) was short_less than 22 years_yet this relatively small German-American denomination had a significant impact on Protestant Christianity. It developed a leading role in ecumenical movements in the United States, it succeeded in presenting programs that have been presented to the highest level of United Methodism_the General Conference_and it has made important contributions to scholarship in church history by preserving and making available to researchers an outstanding collection of materials.The essays gathered together in this book were taken from papers presented at a conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the joining of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and the Evangelical Church to create the EUB denomination. The papers emphasize the development of the merged church, its theology, its concept of ministry, the history of the denomination in Europe, and the mission programs of the denomination. The Making of an American Church: Essays Commemorating the Jubilee Year of the Evangelical United Brethren Church is a unique collection of papers by EUB scholars and general church officers that combines scholarly rigor with an involvement in the events they discuss.Frey, Robert L. is the author of 'The Making of an American Church: Essays Commemorating the Jubille Year of the Evangelical United Brethren Church', published 2007 under ISBN 9780810858091 and ISBN 0810858096.
