Scope and Content Description



The papers of Donald and Mary McGavran include correspondence (personal and business), class lectures, manuscripts of books and articles, newspaper clippings, statistics, maps, reference materials, financial records, documents gathered to study church growth in different parts of the world, photographs, audio tapes, and videos. They document a wide variety of different topics, but are particularly strong for three areas: the McGavrans' family life, their work in India as missionaries, and, especially, Donald McGavran's theories about church growth and the impact of these theories on the church, especially North American Protestant Evangelicals. The collection consists of various personal documents the McGavrans gathered during their lives, as well as files of material generated by Donald's teaching and administrative activities, particularly at the Institute of Church Growth at Northwest Christian College and Fuller Seminary.

In a letter written to the BGC Archives on November 3, 1989, Dr. McGavran wrote, "I hope that you will include in whatever account you print of this collection of my papers at the Billy Graham Archives that it is important primarily because it casts a good deal of light on world evangelization. The manuscripts are written by a missionary of 31 years of experience in the field. All the manuscripts deal with aspects of missionary work. That so much of missions does not deal with effective evangelism but with good deeds done to non-Christians needs to be emphasized in any summary that you make and print of this collection. Mission today, yesterday, and I fear tomorrow is always in danger of doing good works in the name of Christ as a substitute for carrying out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-19). Please also include the statement that these archives were contributed to Billy Graham Archives by the founding dean of the School of World Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California. This School of World Mission is now the largest school of world mission in the world and will probably continue so for many years."

The first sixty boxes of this collection consists of materials which Donald McGavran gave to the library of Northwest Christian College (NCC) and for which a guide was completed in 1977. Selected portions of the collection were microfilmed at that time. The guide prepared by Richard Gaust of Northwest Christian College is in folder 60-5. Subsequently, this collection of material was returned to Dr. McGavran and sent to his office at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena California. In 1989 he gave several boxes of his and his wife's papers to the Billy Graham Center Archives. Almost but not quite all of the documents that were part of the NCC collection was included in this gift, as was some additional material, mostly family correspondence. A few other odds and ends which Dr. McGavran gave to the collection (such as the 1984 manuscript in folder 47-20) were also included in the collection. In 2000, the McGavran's daughter Patricia Sheafor gave a box of letters and other materials relating to the illness and death of her parents in 1990. Also included, although not received from Dr. McGavran, are audio tapes of his class lectures on church growth from 1975 and 1979 and the videos in this collection. Also in 2000 the Archives received from Fuller Seminary the records of Donald McGavran's years there as first dean of the School of World Missions which document his work from 1965 until 1981 as teacher, scholar and administrator, as well as the his files from his very active retirement, 1981-1990. These materials make up boxes 61-99 of this collection.

The collection therefore covers the entire adult life of Donald and Mary McGavran, although most of the materials deal with Donald's work as missionary, church leader, teacher and scholar. There is relatively little material about the last decades of Mary's life after the couple returned to the United States from India.

The materials in boxes 1 through 11 and 20 through 59 were for the most left in the arrangement established for them by the Northwest Christian College library staff. Dr. McGavran apparently worked with the NCC staff when they processed the collection and the arrangement is partly his. The BGC Archives (hereafter referred to as "Archives") staff simplified the arrangement somewhat by dividing the material into eight series and rearranging a very few items to fit this system. As mentioned, the NCC materials were selectively microfilmed. As part of this process, each folder was wrapped in sheets of white paper on which were a few notes on its contents, the number of pages in the folder, and whether or not the material should be microfilmed. These comments for the most part do not appear to have been written by Dr. McGavran, but rather by someone who was involved in processing the collection, perhaps Robert Gault or Reyburn McCready who provided the intellectual direction to the task. These wrappers have been removed and included inside at the beginning of each folder.

Subseries I.D. is a completely new addition of material not included in the 1977 collection, as are the audio and video materials in series IX.

The collection is divided into eight series, which are described below: Correspondence, Financial, India, Institute of Church Growth, Lectures, Manuscripts, Miscellaneous, Surveys, and Audio Visual Materials

Notes: The letters in this subseries consists of materials which either were not sorted at all by the Northwest Christian College staff when the collection was processed in 1976-77 or were additional materials given to the BGC Archives by Donald McGavran in 1989 or by Patricia McGavran Sheafor in 2000 or by Fuller Seminary in 2000. They are not therefore included in the indexes prepared by the Northwest Christian College staff. The materials in boxes 12-19 and 60 consists almost entirely of letters to and from Donald and Mary (including several folders of letters written during their engagement, and to or from Donald and/or Mary and other family members. Boxes 65-82 contain Donald's continuing correspondence about church growth and missions in the last years of his life during his very active retirement, when he continued to have an office at Fuller Seminary, to travel, and write up until about 1988. He was also active in many organizations, such as OC Ministries (folder 77-1) and the U.S. Center for World Mission (folders 82-1, 82-2, including correspondence with Ralph Winter).
Exceptional items: Folder 19-9 contains some letters from officials of the United Christian Missionary Society and other missionaries about the McGavrans' preparations to go to India. Folder 60-2 contains the letters Donald McGavran wrote to his family about Mary's illness and impending death and then about his own illness and anticipated death. The folder also contains the obituary for Mary which Donald prepared, programs of the proposed memorial services and a letter prepared by Mary McGavran that was to be sent to places where Donald McGavran was going to lecture, to let them know of the kind of support he would need because of his physical aliments. Folders 60-3 and 60-4 contain the letters and cards that came to the McGavrans' children after the death of Mary in March and Donald in July. Several are from church leaders talking about Donald's impact on the church, others are from family and friends sharing condolences and memories of the couple. There are also several clippings from various publications evaluating the life and ministry of Donald. Especially interesting is the tribute from church leaders in Madras in folder 60-4. Copies of some of the letters in these folders and other tributes to Donald and Mary, as well as copies of some of Donald's last letters, are in folder 76-5. Folder 67-3 has information about Donald's participation in a celebration in India of William Carey's mission work in India and the start of the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792. Folder 75-1 contains material on then life of Donald's brother Edward and folder 75-2 on his sister Grace. Other family information is in folder 75-3. Folder 65-5 contains a variety of miscellaneous letters and other documents that Donald apparently considered significant to the story of his life. Folders 68-7, 69-3, 75-9 and 79-7 (as well as material in folder 98-2) among many others document McGavran's efforts during the last years of his life to encourage, stimulate and inspire seminary professors, church leaders, missionaries and other influential Christians to concentrate on evangelism and winning significant new ethnic and other people groups to the Christian faith. Folders 68-2 contains McGavran's deeply heartfelt critique (entitled "I accuse, I plead") of his own denomination, the Disciples of Christ, for their declining interest in missions to India and their efforts to force Christian Churches in India to merge with the Episcopal denomination. Also in the folder is correspondence with Disciples of Christ pastor Norman Conner about creating the Continuing Christian Churches Mission (later Movement) to support those churches in India which did not merge. Donald always remained especially concerned about the church in India and many files of correspondence from the last years of his life reflect this, such as the material in folder 65-4 about persecution of Christians in India because they were almost all from the lower castes. See also material on the Dalit Christian church in folder 68-6 and 80-5 and on the Evangelical Church of India in folder 78-8. Folder 75-8 contains correspondence, reports and other materials relating to a meeting of representatives from Campus Crusade for Christ, Far East Broadcasting, Transworld Radio, and Haven of Rest to develop common principles and strategies for using mass media such as radio for evangelism. (See also folders 70-7 and 93-6.)

There are several folders of documents from the Mass Movement Committee, which was a group of missionaries and Indian Christians studying the current (in the 1930s) character of the Indian churches and how they could spread the Gospel. Its studies were a kind of precursor for the church growth surveys McGavran would later do.

Folder 26-10 contains a handwritten song book with lyrics in an Indian language and music. This may be a hymn book. Folder 27-1 contains various documents related to Donald's study of the disparity between the lifestyles of Western missionaries and indigenous Christian workers in India and his suggestions for adapting more of an Indian lifestyle.

The Fuller folders deal with roughly the first decade of the School of World Mission and McGavran's leadership of it. Most of the folders in this series also deal with Donald's building of support for church growth theories among other Christian leaders and institutions. Many folders contain reports on evangelism activity and church growth as experienced by particular missions or in various regions of the world. Folder 62-16, for example, has material on the Liebenzeller Mission and folder 62-20 has reports and statistics on church growth in Malaysia.
Exceptional items: Folder 27-10 contains various notes, reports and statements that outlined how McGavran thought the Institute should develop. Other thoughts, both on the Institute and on McGavran's developing ideas on church growth, are in folders 30-5 and 31-1. Folders 27-7 to 27-9 contain materials relating to a "A Four Way Conversation," a series of lectures given by Donald McGavran, Cal Guy (see also folder 70-10), Eugene Nida and Melvin Hodges on critical issues in church growth. Folder 28-2 contains the bulletin of Northwest Christian College, which often includes mention of McGavran or the Institute and its activities. Folders 28-4 and 28-5 contain manuscripts of writings by Melvin Hodges and Jarrell Waskom Pickett on church growth. Other documents on church growth theory gathered by McGavran are in folder 28-1. Critiques of McGavran's books and of church growth theory in general can be found in folder 31-3. Folders 29-1 through 30-4 contain studies done by McGavran's students of church growth in various parts of the world, usually of the church growth within a particular denomination. Donald also helped start a Church Growth research centre in India and there is correspondence with it throughout his files, as for example, the folders of Roger Hedlund correspondence in folders 70-8, 72-5 through 72-7 and 75-7 and also 67-6. There is also correspondence about Donald's continued involvement with the Global Church Growth Bulletin. See for example the correspondence with James Montgomery in folders 76-1 and 76-2.

Among the records about Donald's leadership of the School of World Mission at Fuller are McGavran's 1965 correspondence with David Hubbard, the president of Fuller, about the Insititute (folder 65-5), the program and speech from his inauguration as dean in September 1966 (folder 62-5), faculty meeting minutes (folder 61-4), kudos for the school (folder 61-70), Fuller newsletters (folder 61-11, 63-13, 64-1) the seminary steering committee (folder 61-25), foundations (folders 62-17 and 64-6,7) and plans for an MA and PhD in missions (63-1, 63-13). Also of interest are the records of his class grades in folder 91-5, the notes of his talks at the SWM's annual orientation for new students in folder 94-4, and a survey McGavran wished to do of SWM alumni to find out how they were extending themselves through discipling in folder 98-2. Many files contain correspondence about church growth in various parts of the world and current issues on missions. (Folder 81-2 contains material about Donald's close relationship with C. Peter Wagner, who held the Donald McGavran Chair of Church Growth at Fuller.)

*****
 Series: V. Lectures, Speeches and Sermons
Arrangement: Alphabetical by folder title
Date Rage: 1917-1988
Volume: 4.5 cubic feet
Boxes: 31-39, 83-96
Geographic coverage: Concern with the growth of Christianity worldwide
Type of documents: Lecture and sermon transcripts and notes, supporting materials for lectures such as programs, syllabi, student papers, resource materials used in lectures
Subjects: Church growth, theology of missions, theory and practice of missions, church history, expansion of Christianity in the twentieth century, cross-cultural communications, comparative religion, Christianity and culture
Notes: This section contains Donald McGavran's lectures, speeches, and sermons in a variety of forums. They are classroom lectures on missiology or church growth as well as seminar talks and lectures that McGavran gave around the world. The folder titles generally are those assigned by McGavran and are either the topic of or the place of the lectures. Besides containing notes for or transcripts of the lectures, folders of class lectures often contain papers done by students for the class and other miscellaneous material related to the class. McGavran often gave seminars on church growth at seminaries and churches around the world to students and to church leaders and the notes from many of these can be found in boxes 88 through 90. The name of a country in a folder title, such as "Church Growth–Canada" does not mean that the lecture is on church growth in Canada, but rather that it was given in Canada. McGavran would apparently keep a particular set of messages together in a notebook and revise them or change them over time. So a set of folders labeled "Church Growth Seminar–Indiana" might contain notes or changes he made when he gave the set talks or some of them later in Japan and then further additions or deletions when he gave them yet again in another location. So the lectures were always in a sense works in progress. Whenever possible, these lecture notebooks have been left in their original binder. However, when the notebook itself was too badly worn, the materials were taken out of the cover and put loose in a folder. Some notebooks, such as those in boxes 83 and 84, are talks that were kept together because they were given during the same year or years.
Exceptional items: Folder 33-2 contains notes and transcripts of speeches Donald McGavran gave when he was on the debate team in college on topics of the day, including America's entry into World War I. Folder 33-7 contains notes for the sermons McGavran sometimes gave to the church held in the McGavrans' home at Eugene, Oregon, for the student, their families and eventually members of the community. Folders 36-2 through 38-2 contain various clippings and notes that McGavran gathered as background materials for his lectures. Folder 91-5 contains McGavran's records of the grades for his students for almost the entire time he taught at Fuller. Folder 94-3 contains texts of the prayers that McGavran prepared for various of his classes.

 Series: VI. Manuscripts
Arrangement: Alphabetical by folder title
Date Rage: 1925-1989
Volume: 7.2 cubic feet
Boxes: 40-52, 97-99
Geographic coverage: Christianity worldwide, especially in Bangladesh, Gold Coast, India, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Liberia, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Sudan, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, West Africa
Type of documents: Manuscripts of books and articles, including different drafts of the same work, correspondence with publishers.
Subjects: Christianity and culture, Christianity in the modern world, church growth, conversion, the Disciples of Christ, Hinduism, Indian Christianity, the social gospel, the theory and practice of missions, study of missions, religious education
Notes: This section contains manuscripts and typescripts of books and articles by McGavran, sometimes accompanied by other supporting material related to the work. Usually there is also a wrapper that was around the manuscript which sometimes has a few notes by McGavran, written in the late 1970s when some of these materials were microfilmed. A miscellaneous selection of his articles can be found in folder 40-7, especially those relating to evangelistic work in India and to church growth theory. There is also a contemporary appraisal by McGavran of Mohandas K. Gandhi. Several folders of correspondence with publishers or about articles or books McGavran was working on were bundled together with one group of manuscripts, so the archivists left them together. These can be found in box 97.
Exceptional Items: Folder 97-11 contains not an article but a kind of diary of his impressions of a 1956 trip through Africa that included stops in Kenya, Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sudan, Rwanda and other countries. Information he gathered and notes he made about Lutheran churches in Liberia are in folder 99-5 and on Methodist missions and churches in Gold Coast are in folder 99-6. There are endorsements in folders 70-5 and 97-2 from Billy Graham, Bill Bright, Harold Lindsell and others of a book by McGavran emphasizing the need for greater concentration on evangelism in the seminary training of pastors. Also of interest is McGavran's correspondence (in folder 97-6) with officials of the World Council of Churches about an article he wanted to do for them on the need for evangelism in missions.
*****
 Series: VII. Miscellaneous
Arrangement: Alphabetical by folder title
Date Rage: 1905-1977
Volume: 4 cubic feet
Boxes: 52-56
Geographic coverage: United States, India
Type of documents: Address books, biographical data on the McGavrans, church programs, , church conference reports, diaries, minutes, newspaper and magazine clippings, military documents and souvenirs from Donald McGavran' service in World War I.
Subjects: The McGavran's college education and preparation of missions; the life of the Jackson Street Church of Muncie, Indiana; the McGavran's work in India; Donald McGavran's military service in World War I; the McGavran's homes and housekeeping; racial integration
Notes: Most of the material in this section had been labeled "Miscellaneous" by the Northwest Christian College staff when the collection was originally processed. A few items were added by the BGC Archives staff. Folder 53-2 contains articles written by Donald McGavran's uncle Herbert Anderson, a Baptist missionary, about his work in India in South Lushai at the beginning of the twentieth century.
There are several folders in this section with materials gathered by or about Mary McGavran. The newspaper and magazine clippings in folder 53-7 apparently were collected by her, as were the brochures on mission work in folder 55-12. Folder 55-9 contains a number of handwritten manuscripts and of essays and poems. Some of these seem to have been done by Mary, in some cases as class assignments. The rest were ones that were collected by her. Folder 55-7 contains programs and other materials from the Jackson Street Church in Muncie, Indiana, Mary's home church, and one of the church's that supported McGavran all through their missionary career in India. (It later became the Hazelwood Christian Church.) Several of the programs contain a mention of Mary and her activities in the church.
Other folders concern the McGavrans jointly, particularly folder 53-4 which contains articles, press releases and materials from books with biographical information about Donald or Mary. Folders 53-5 and 53-8 have materials about Butler College and the College of Missions, which they both attended. Folder 55-1 contains materials about the house they hoped to build (but never did) at Crystal Lake, Michigan, near the summer campus of the College of Missions and folder 55-4 contains materials about the home they built for themselves in Eugene, Oregon, on Fox Hollow Road. Folder 55-8 contains miscellaneous legal papers such as documents relating to property ownership, a certificate that the McGavrans were UCMS missionaries, book contracts, clergy applications for special train fares, etc. Folder 56-3 contains various printed documents about the UCMS, such as minutes of conferences, reports on its activities around the world, etc.
Most of the rest of the material in this series are concerned solely with Donald McGavran. Folder 56-4 contains various mementos from his service in the Army during World War I in the field artillery, mainly from his training at Camp Shelby in Mississippi. (See the Oversize Materials location record for information on various newspapers collected by both Donald and Mary with information about events during the war and its immediate aftermath.) Folder 53-6 contain his notes and doodles from class lectures he attended, probably at Butler College. Folder 55-10 has what seems to be an incomplete ministerial record book that records baptisms performed, etc. Folder 55-13 contains a notebook, probably Donald's, with a variety of things, such the 23rd Psalm, notes on a 1924 lecture by Samuel Zwemer, outlines for chapters in a book on change. Folders 53-9 through 54-3 contain programs and other materials from conferences he attended, usually on mission work. There is a great deal of material from the 1960 National Council of Churches meeting. At about the same time, the UCMS, in response to positions taken at recent World Council of Churches meetings, set up a Commission on the Theology of Mission to re-evaluate and restate the biblical and theology underpinnings of the denomination's mission work. McGavran served on the commission and folders 54-4 and 54-5 contain the papers produced by the commission members, including McGavran, and other documents relevant to the discussion at the time of the purpose and legitimacy of Christian missions. The diaries in box 54 and the appointment books in box 53 both contain very brief descriptions of his activities and travels, as do the travel schedules in folder 56-2.
Exceptional items: Folder 55-5 contains a program and fact sheets for D. W. Griffith's film, Intolerance. Folder 55-5 contains materials related to McGavran's efforts in the late 1950s to promote racial integration and brotherhood in churches in the Indianapolis area.

 Series: IX. Audio and Video tapes
Arrangement: Tapes are basically grouped together by occasion. Thus, all the tapes from the Ethiopian church growth conference are together, as are all those from McGavran's church growth lectures. Then within these groups, the tapes are in chronological order. There are also a few individual items, not part of any group.
Date Rage: 1950-1987
Volume: 1.82 cubic feet
Boxes: T1-T61, V1-V29
Geographic coverage: Ethiopia, India, United States
Type of documents: McGavran's lectures on church growth, papers given at a conference in Ethiopia on church growth, film made to explain to supporters the McGavran's mission work in India, recording of the celebration of Donald McGavran's ninetieth birthday.
Subjects: Mission work in India, church growth theory and practice
Notes: The contents of individual tapes are described in the location records. Tapes T10 through T58 are particularly important, since they contain McGavran's considered exposition of basic and advanced church growth theory after years of thought and discussion on the subject.

Provenance

The bulk of the material in this collection was received by the Center from Dr. Donald McGavran in 1981 and 1989. Other materials were received from C. Peter Wagner and Patricia McGavran Sheafor. In 2000, various items that were not needed by the Archives were returned to the McGavran family, including letters and materials relating to the Howard family, some of Donald McGavran's WWI mementos such as his canteen and service manuals, miscellaneous correspondence, and stamps.

Several books and periodicals, including Donald's dissertation, were transferred to the BGC Library (now Evangelism & Missions Collection of the Wheaton College Archives & Special Collections.
