The Center for the Evangelical United Brethren Heritage
Forty Years After Dallas: Retrieving the EUB Heritage for United Methodism
An international conference of scholars recovering Evangelical and Pietist traditions for the renewal of the church
September 12-13, 2008
Founded in 1979, its purpose is to preserve and promote the study of the religious and ecclesiastical traditions that formed the Evangelical United Brethren Church. To this end the Center has carried on an extensive oral history project and has gathered people for consultations and special observances. The Center is housed in the Library at United Theological Seminary.
Center holdings include a collection of:
- Over 7,000 volumes related to the denomination and its forebears, the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and the Evangelical Church
- Artifacts from the mission field
- Photographs
- Church ephemera
- Numerous manuscript collections documenting the work of the church and the lives of church leaders
See the Brief Descriptions of Historical Collections page for more information about the collection.
Telescope-Messenger is published by the Center twice each year and is sent to the membership of the Center as well as to a reading public of about 3,500 interested persons. To begin receiving Telescope-Messenger, become a member of the Center today. (Download the Membership Form, PDF.)
