LIST OF OLD AC & WCG THESES, PAPERS & LECTURES WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO FIND |
I seek the below and anything else from the old WCG & AC that is not on my site. If you have them or know anyone who might (eg an elder, ex-AC student or lecturer), please do not hesitate in letting me know. If you have the paper or thesis scanned you can, of course, e-mail these to me. Or mail them to me for scanning. A list of deceased men whose families probably would have much of the below (plus those still alive) may be found here. I do NOT need the PTs,GNs, TWs, CWLs, PGRs books, booklets, STP.
There has been devastation to our history: the News Bureau research; inter-departmental memos; records; theses; research papers etc have been thrown into the bin! But we can soldier on and regather much, if we are committed to this task.
Critical Items |
· Pre-1970 WCG Ministerial bulletins and letters |
· A paper advocating a Sunday Pentecost - Ernest Martin (1961) (93 pages) |
· The
Bulletin of the Churches of God in Oregon |
· The article by Clarence Dodd promoting the Feast days in mid-1930s |
· What is the Third Angel's Message? (original manuscript on the
'lost' tribes of Israel by HWA - 1929) |
· Church of God News. Australian Edition. What I have thus far are located here |
|
|
|
Rare and old WCG, AC & HWA Writings, Articles, Papers |
· The Sacred Calendar (booklet by HWA from the 1930s or early 1940s). It, along with several
others, are shown on a page in the Autobiography (Vol 1, 1986
edition) with the following text: “Several
early publications of the Church of God, Eugene, Oregon” |
· Ministerial conference notes and handouts |
· Any old WCG policy or Ministerial statements or papers, policies, public campaign brochures & advertisements, special letters, newspaper clippings etc etc. Nothing is unimportant. Especially from the 1950s and 1960s |
· Charles Dorothy's theological project (1974-76) (apparently different to
the STP) |
· Booklets by
Gene Carter (early 1950s).
Two are currently available
here |
· Assyrian Migrations to Germany - Ernest Martin (1961) |
· A rumoured third volume of The Compendium of World History (more likely it was an updated version of vols 1 & 2). Information here |
· In Search of ... the Lost Tribes of Israel by Raymond F McNair. Most of it is available here but I seek the missing chapters |
· Any AC class handouts, notes, charts, papers, theses |
· A paper by Gerald Waterhouse on the Laodicean Era (90-100 pages) |

May 19, 1984 audiotape. (The title is handwritten, possibly by an office
secretary.) An official editorial department copy. The commencement
address is by Herman Hoeh, making a fascinating values/cultures
connection. Due to Mr. Armstrong’s absence in Washington DC., Dr. Hoeh’s
so doing was a rare event. |
Miscellaneous Items |
·
Herbert Armstrong’s dedicatory
prayer, on the Auditorium letterhead |
·
Any early 1970s and pre 1970s Ambassador College Class Notes |
·
A lecture handout, “Management

“The
Motivating Editor” and “How to Build a Better Editorial Team.” |
·
A virtual writing workshop
program:
o
This is in the form of a
compilation of 28 staff-only-circulated Plain Truth article manuscripts
(i.e., documents in the production cycle phase). (Incidentally, eight
have Herman Hoeh’s penciled initials on the first page, indicating his
signing off on them, which adds to the provenance of these manuscripts.)
The most effective way to learn to write or edit is to see how a
professional does it, and this compilation would greatly benefit any
current or budding writer wanting to improve his or her craft.
o
The quantity and quality of
these manuscripts’ notations would suffice as the basis for a
two-or-three-day workshop. Some were extracted from for use in
presentations for WCG departments and Ambassador College classes.
o
The great majority of these
article manuscripts have dozens of edits/comments throughout, which
helped show the writers in detail how to improve not only their
individual drafts but their writing overall. For further reference, Dr.
Hoeh himself told the Editorial staff to run their articles by the
person whose personal files these drafts came from.
o Sample manuscript sections are available that show the variety and range of edits/comments and suggestions. For serious requestees only. |
