Description
Most of the material consists of announcements,
minutes, and schedules of meetings. The directory of Stockton ministers
contains information on most ministers and their churches in Stockton
regardless of active membership with the association.
Background
The Stockton Ministerial Association was comprised of ministers of
sundry Christian denominations: Presbyterians, Methodists, Catholics,
Episcopalians, Baptists, etc. The Stockton Ministerial Association met on
Saturday mornings to discuss theological, historical, and social issues, e.g.,
juvenile delinquents, race relations, handicaps, California Youth Authority,
etc. Arthur Maynard, Lawrence Meredith, and Robert Blaney of the University of
the Pacific were all members of the association. The association often invited
speakers from outside the community to speak at the meetings. On May 2, 1973
the Stockton Ministerial Association merged with the Evangelical Fellowship,
forming the Stockton Ministerial Fellowship.
