Horton Endowment Announced

The Dr. Stanley M. Horton Scholarly Resources Endowment

To honor Dr. Stanley M. Horton’s remarkable service to AGTS, to the Assemblies of God and to the greater Pentecostal community over the past seven decades, AGTS is initiating the Dr. Stanley M. Horton Scholarly Resources Endowment Fund, in conjunction with the Pillars of the Faith initiative. We invite you to help us reach our goal of $25,000 for this endowment. For those who contribute $125 or more, AGTS will send you a copy of Dr. Horton’s forthcoming biography, Stanley M. Horton: Shaper of Pentecostal Theology by Lois E. Olena with Raymond L. Gannon.

Interest from this endowment will be used to purchase scholarly resources for the Cordas. C. Burnett Library at AGTS—specifically biblical-theological and biblical language resources, as these areas have been so important to Dr. Horton over the years.

Please go to this link for more information, to contribute to the endowment, and to reserve your copy of Dr. Stanley Horton’s biography today! (The book releases in April and will be shipped in May to those who contribute $125 or more to the Dr. Stanley M. Horton Scholarly Resources Endowment.) For a $250 gift, we will send you a copy signed by Dr. Horton.
Contributions can also be made by mailing or calling the Development Office.

Passing of Ogbu Kalu

I've just been informed of the passing of Dr. Ogbu Kalu, member of the Society and African church historian. Details are forthcoming. Following is his bio from the McCormick website.

Ogbu came to McCormick in 2001 from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he had served as Professor of Church History for many years. He is an elder in the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria. He has served as visiting professor at several institutions, including Harvard, Bayreuth, Toronto, McGill, Edinburgh, Pretoria, and the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Seoul. He has published extensively: 15 books, including Power, Poverty and Prayer: The Challenges of Poverty and Pluralism in African Christianity, 1960-1996 and as editor, History of the Church in the Third World: Vol. III, African Christianity: An African Story, plus more than 150 articles in journals and edited volumes.

For many years, Ogbu provided leadership in theological education in Africa and he is currently the Director of the Christianity in Africa Project. He is married to Dr. Wilhelmina J. Kalu, a child psychologist and counselor. They have four children.
