[Dialogue] FW: [scmfriends] Renate Howe's History of the ASCM 'A Centure of Influence' is now published [1 Attachment]

Steve,

That puts you in league with Sue Wegner who presided over the demise of MSM in Minnesota, and myself, who did the same in Michigan…all because the UCM was the movement of the future.

Peace,

Frank,

I was aware of, but not really involved with, the Methodist Student Movement during my first year at university (1966-'67), but in the summer before second year a new Methodist Campus minister was appointed at Lamar University - Randy Williams.  He got me and a couple of other students, whose names escape me at the moment, to drive with him to the MSM conference at Tulane University in New Orleans, just before the fall term started.  I met numerous "movement people" there and the main event of the conference was, in effect, vote the MSM out of existence and join the multi-denominational University Christian Movement (an analogue of the ASCM).  Randy probably has a more comprehensive memory of the overall agenda and some of the specific people involved.  I remember a group of us reconnoitering the French Quarter on the first night of the conference, but the names are long gone (more a casualty of time than overindulgence)!

Regards,

Steve Rhea

Good morning again!

The following book - see below - covers the history of the Australian Student Christian Movement 1896-1996.  Lots of people were influenced by the ASCM's presence on university campuses.  I got involved with the SCM thanks to the old "being the church where you are" image from EI in the late 1960s.

Have any of you had experience in the Methodist Student Movement (name?) and similar groups in the USA?  I know Terry Loomis did.  

And the MSM's magazine Motive published some writing by JWM, and an article or two which we used in EI/ICA courses.  

Robin Boyd's The Witness of the SCM is a personal history from experience in Northern Ireland, London, India and Australia.  Risto Lehtonen's Story of a Storm: The Ecumenical Student Movement in the Turmoil of Revolution provides an international perspective.  Lehtonen was active in the "politicisation" revoution of the late 60s and early 70s, a trend which I though was not comprehensive enough, and thus I found the EI/ICA tradition more persuasive.

Does anyone have any background in that "storm"?  Or reflections on it?  Are there good US and other books looking at it?

Cheers 

Frank Bremner

We are very pleased to announce that the centennial history of the Movement has been published (July 2009) by University of New South Wales Press.
In 1993 a Group of Friends of the ASCM was formed and began to prepare for the writing of a history of the Movement. The General Committee of the ASCM enthusiastically endorsed the idea.
Academic historian Dr Renate Howe, an associate professor at Deakin University, was invited to become its author with support from the University as well as the ASCM Centennial History Working Group.
The Centenary of the ASCM was celebrated in 1996 at a Centenary Gathering in Canberra attended by over three hundred SCMers covering six generations from the 1920s onwards. This event provided an important impetus to the project especially in helping to facilitate the more than 70 extended oral  <http://www.ascm.org.au/publications_historybook_interviews.html> interviews which have been so foundational for the subsequent history.
The now completed work is a history of a very influential movement in so many aspects of Australia’s social and political development in the 20th Century. It also provides a perspective on the history of Australian universities during this period, covering nation-defining debates on the possibility of belief, issues of peace and war, and Australia’s relationship with Asia. It was in the SCM that so many students formed their attitudes, often found their life long partners, and developed a commitment that would sustain them through their lives.
Additional information about the publication is available on the  <http://www.ascm.org.au/files/article_acenturyofinfluence.pdf> Flyer (PDF file - 86Kb) and by means of publication  <http://www.ascm.org.au/publications_historybook_endorsements.html> Endorsements.
