E&R Church. Spiritual Conference.

Spiritual Conference. This collection includes programs from several summer Spiritual Conferences as well as a file of photographs of participants but is very incomplete.

The Spiritual Conferences were begun by the Reformed Church in the United States in 1887 by Rev. A. S. Weber, Rev. C. W. Levan, Rev. D. A. Souders, and Rev. C. B. Schneder. The conferences were continued by the E & R Church after the merger with the Evangelical Synod of North America in 1934 and continued after the 1957 union with the Congregational Christian Churches forming the United Church of Christ until at least 1984.
