Abstract: Mt. Hollywood Congregational Church, founded in 1905, is located in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. Its longest-serving
pastor, Allan A. Hunter, led the congregation from 1926 until his retirement in 1963, but stayed actively involved until his
death almost twenty years later. This collection reflects the activities of the church throughout the twentieth century, as
well as the progressive ideas and religious teachings of Reverend Hunter. His correspondence with other religious thinkers
and social activists is included, as well as the manuscripts of most of his sermons throughout the years, which are also included
on audiotapes. The collection presents a vivid picture of Mt. Hollywood Church as well as the man who was at the helm for
so many decades.
Biographical Note
Allan Armstrong Hunter was born in 1893 in Toronto, Canada, the youngest of four children. He came to the United States at
the age of eight, where his family first lived in Colorado before settling in Riverside, California.
Hunter received his A.B. degree from Princeton University in 1916 and then taught for two years in Egypt at Assiut Mission
College. Between 1917 and 1918 he was a YMCA secretary with the British on the Sinai Desert, and then part of the Palestine
unit of the Red Cross during World War I. After the Armistice, Hunter helped direct a large German orphanage in Jerusalem.
He spent several years traveling and studying in India, China, Korea, and Japan-- experiences that would deepen his understanding
of human values the world around and convince him of the waste and futility of war.
In 1923, Hunter married Elizabeth Sterling, the daughter of minister Dr. Hugh K. Walker. Around that same time he graduated
from the Union Theological Seminary in New York and then was ordained a Presbyterian minister and became pastor of Union Church
in Palisade, New Jersey. In 1925 Hunter received his A.M. from Columbia, and then spent time in China with his wife doing
peace work and teaching at the National Normal University.
It was in 1926 that Hunter began a long and notable ministry at Mt. Hollywood Congregational Church in Los Angeles, succeeding
Dr. Edwin P. Ryland, former president of the ACLU--Southern California branch. Through his involvement with the Fellowship
of Reconciliation, the Disciplined Order of Christ, and his many social justice activities, he met and befriended many internationally
known church leaders, humanitarians, and social activists such as Toyohiko Kagawa, Doris and Muriel Lester, Kirby Page, Norman
Cousins, Linus Pauling, Richard Neutra, John Anson Ford, and Aldous Huxley.
A long-time ACLU board member, Hunter was concerned with the constitutional rights of minorities. During and after World
War II, Hunter testified on behalf of the Japanese-Americans who were sent to concentration camps, visiting Manzanar often.
Other topics that Hunter focussed on through his sermons, publications, and activities included world peace, marriage, birth
control (having seen the effects of overpopulation in China and India), labor rights, civil liberties, etc.
Allan and Elizabeth Hunter had two children-- Betsy and Allan, Jr. Reverend Allan Hunter died in 1982, ten years after his
wife Elizabeth. They are buried in Riverside, California where the Reverend's tombstone is inscribed "Christian Life Dedicated
to Peace.".
Historical Background
Mt. Hollywood Congregational Church was founded in 1905, in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. In 1918, during World War
I, Dr. E.P. Ryland was expelled from the First Methodist Church of Hollywood for his pacifism and became the minister at
Mt. Hollywood. Setting a precedent for the pastor who would follow him, Reverend Ryland was a committed pacifist who supported
workers' rights, labor strikes, and was involved in other civic issues. At its height, the church was comprised of over 600
members.
In 1926, Allan A. Hunter took over as pastor of the church, a role in which he served until his retirement in 1963. The church
counted many progressive-minded civic leaders among its members, including John Anson Ford, chair of the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors, after whom Ford Amphitheatre is named. In the 1930s, the church was one of the first congregations
in Los Angeles to be racially integrated. Many notable people, friends of Allan Hunter, preached or spoke at Mt. Hollywood
in its early days. Among the peace activists, philosophers, journalists, diplomats, and other dignitaries who graced Mt.
Hollywood were Ralph Bunche, Cesar Chavez, Gerald Heard, Aldous Huxley, Toyohiko Kagawa, Muriel Lester, Carey McWilliams,
and Howard Thurman among many others.
Because Allan Hunter served as the church's pastor for such a long time-- and was deeply involved in the church's mission
after he retired-- the church's history is inexorably shaped by the passions and activities of the man who took his church
through two world wars, the Korean War, the Viet Nam conflict, and all of the other social and political changes during those
decades. During World War II when Japanese-Americans were being interned in concentration camps, Mt. Hollywood "adopted"
a nearby Japanese-American congregation, Hollywood Independent Church, taking legal ownership of the church to protect and
maintain its property, returning it to its congregation after the war. Some of the congregants and Allan Hunter visited
the Manzanar concentration camp often during that time. In 1947, Mt. Hollywood received a box mailed from Japan, containing
camphor wood from a burnt tree from the yard of a Methodist church which had been destroyed by the atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima. The cross was inscribed with "He Is Our Peace" and is still a centerpiece of the church. The church's property
itself was sold in 2012 due to rising costs and a much smaller congregation of about 50 members.
The church's website can be accessed at: http://www.thenewmthollywood.org/MtHCC/Welcome!.html.
Scope and Content
The materials in the Dr. Allan A. Hunter papers span the history of the Mt. Hollywood Congregational Church from pre-World
War I to the 1990s. The bulk of the papers consists of records that were kept during the pastorship of Hunter from the 1920s
through the 1960s, both records and ephemera from the church as well as Hunter's personal correspondence, manuscript materials,
photographs, sermons, subject files, etc. Important subjects covered in photographs, news clippings, and correspondence include
the church's involvement with the Japanese Americans who were interned during World War II, and the church's activities with
orphans and refugees from Europe and Asia after the war.

Correspondence 447622
Scope and Content
This series is comprised of a broad variety of personal and business correspondence to Allan Hunter, and a small amount from
him to others. Much of it concerns his early travels and missions from tbe 1920s through 1940s. The bulk of the correspondence
is concentrated within two decades-- the 1940s when there was much discussion of war, Japan, etc., and the 1970s after Reverend
Hunter had retired and was the reverend emeritus of the church. Part of the series is arranged both chronologically and
by topic; the second part of the series is arranged only by decade. A notable section of the series includes a group of letters
labeled "overseas letters" dated between 1946 and 1949. They are mostly letters from refugee families and organizations (such
as orphanages) in Europe and Asia thanking Hunter and his church for food and supplies that were sent to them. Most are in
English or translated English, but some are in German, French, Japanese, and other languages. Included with the overseas
letters is a small knitted doll, though it is not known which letter it accompanied.

Sermons 464991
Scope and Content
The two boxes in this series are comprised of typed and handwritten notes for sermons by Hunter. They are arranged alphabetically
by title of sermon (when specified); the remaining folders of sermon notes are grouped as "miscellaneous." Many of the original
sermon folders were of a very brittle acidic paper where the title parts had previously crumbled off of the sides. This situation,
coupled with Hunter's almost illegible handwriting, made it difficult to discern what the titles would be if the notes could
be read more clearly. Many of the crumbling brittle folders were also kept, however, because many of the notes were written
on them. The series also contains a folder of published sermons by Hunter, in the form of small pamphlets and booklets.
Another group of folders contains sermons and articles by persons other than Hunter. Audiotapes of the sermons can be found
in the Audiovisual Materials series.

Scrapbook of clippings apparently assembled by the church's Publicity Committee. Most of the clippings are from the Los Feliz

Surplus) program of the interdenominational Church World Service. SOS received the free surplus food from the U.S. government
as part of the Food for Peace program. Hong Kong was chosen as the destination for the donated food because it had recently
received a flood of refugees from Red China.
