Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Washington Association of Churches is thought to have existed in some form since 1919. The name was originally the Washington-Northern Idaho Council of Christian Education, changing in 1935 to the Washington and Northern Idaho Council of Churches. The name was shortened to Washington-Northern Idaho Council of Churches in 1959. In 1968 the state council title was changed to Washington State Council of Churches; in 1975, it was renamed the Washington Association of Churches.
The Council of Churches of Washington and Northern Idaho was created by a group of Protestant churches as their agency for cooperative planning, Christian fellowship and united action. Its membership was composed of participating denominations in Washington and Northern Idaho and accredited local councils of churches. In 1966, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle joined the Greater Seattle Council of Churches.
The Council's work was divided into three major divisions: 1) Christian Education, including children's work, youth work, campus ministry, adult work and family life, and pastoral conferences 2) Christian Missions, including evangelism, church planning and strategy, town and country, migrant work, Church world service, faith and order, and 3) Christian Social Relationships, including legislation, church and economic life, social welfare and institutional ministry, international relations, religious liberty, racial and cultural relations. In addition to the divisions, three commissions, Budget and Finance, Public Relations, and Research were constituted to implement the program of the Council. The Departments of United Church Women and United Church Men were formed to "promote and interpret" the program. Each division, commission and department was responsible to the General Board of the Council. An Executive Committee was empowered to act for the Board between its meetings. The General Secretary was the foremost staff member and provided continuity to the Council. This position was held by Gertrude Apel from 1930 until 1958. She was succeeded by Ralph Turnidge, 1959-1964, and Clement Hahn, 1964-1966.
The Washington Association of Churches (WAC) continues to serve as an association of 10 Christian denominations and 11 ecumenical organization which work together on the task of ecumenism in Washington State. Since 1975, WAC has served as a focal point for dialogue, advocacy, action and reflection, facilitating meetings between member churches and forming partnerships with a diverse range of organizations and communities.

Until 1958 the Washington-Northern Idaho Council shared offices, staff and budget with the Seattle Council of Churches. Dr. Gertrude Apel served as Executive leader of both. In December 1958 the two councils divided their assets and liabilities and established separate budgets. The records in this accession are primarily those of the Washington-Northern Idaho Council but include records of the Seattle Council as well. No attempt has been made to separate the records of the two groups.

Columbia Basin Project
Committee
Biographical/Historical Note:
The Columbia Basin Project and the subsequent growth of the
area affected by this project presented a unique opportunity in cooperative
church planning. In 1951, the Council undertook to survey the area in order to
predict the number and size of new communities, the population increase of
existing communities and project church needs for the next ten years. Guided by
its study the Council assigned to certain denominations areas in which they
would be responsible for coordinated and planned development. By substituting
friendly cooperation for inter-church rivalry they hoped to match secular
community building with "spiritual engineering."

Legislative
Committee
Biographical/Historical Note:
The Program Section on Legislation was part of the Division of
Christian Social Relations. The function of this Program Section was to provide
expression to the Christian concerns of its members and for "such legislation
as will serve the needs of all the people". The Section formulated a set of
"Legislative Principles" which represented the consensus of Council opinion on
current social issues. The Council also held Legislative Conferences each
biennium concurrent with sessions of the State Legislature, published a
newsletter,
ALERT, and sent a Legislative
Representative to Olympia during sessions. By such means the Council sought to
influence Legislation in areas such as tax reform, civil rights, liquor
control, narcotics, gambling, Sunday laws, marriage laws, pornography, capital
punishment, penal reform, migrants and child welfare.

Migrant Affairs
Committee
Biographical/Historical Note:
The Ministry to Migrants was a longtime concern and interest
of the Council of Churches. Previously, the work had been carried on by the
Council of Christian Education under the leadership of Gertrude Apel. In the
early 1940s the Committee for Migrant and Resettlement Work functioned under
the joint auspices of the Council and the North American Home Missions
Council.
The primary purpose of the Ministry was to provide for the
spiritual needs of migrant laborers but it also undertook to meet their
immediate material needs. A Council minister visited the labor camps to conduct
services and bible classes and eventually a mobile chapel was purchased by the
Council. The Migrant Committee maintained a summer staff which coordinated and
encouraged the efforts of local communities to operate "Friendship Centers" and
to supply food, clothing, bedding, adult classes, and day care for the migrant
families.

Planning and Strategy
Committee
Biographical/Historical Note:
The Department of Church Planning and Strategy (later the
Program Section on Church Planning and Strategy) was responsible for conducting
research and consultation in the field of church extensions and adjustments in
order that resources be wisely used, and "competition, duplication and
overlapping of efforts" by churches and denominations be eliminated. Membership
in the Planning and Strategy Department was composed of representatives of each
constituent denomination. All actions and recommendations regarding assignment
of responsibilities or allocations of territories of any given area to a church
denomination or any agency were submitted to Planning and Strategy for final
adoption. Before the Department could make any recommendations a survey of the
field was authorized to discover the religious needs of the constituents.
Surveys were also made on a city, county or region wide basis for the purpose
of long range planning of church extension needs. Some of these surveys are
also filed as Report in the main body of the records, as well as in this
series.

Seabeck Christian Conference
Committee
Biographical/Historical Note:
Seabeck was purchased in 1914 by Lawrence J. Colman and George
Colman and administered in perpetual trust by representatives of the Washington
and Northern Idaho Council of Churches, the YMCA and YWCA. It was maintained as
a non sectarian camp in order to provide facilities in a pastoral setting for
the use of religious groups and conferences. The Seabeck Committee of the
Council planned the annual Inter-Church Conference at Seabeck,
(Inter-Denominational after 1949) the first of which was held in 1943. The
Conference brought together officers and members of Councils of Churches,
church leaders, executives, ministers, laymen, laywomen and youth from all
parts of the state for business, study, meditation, recreation, and the
development of a "united Protestant strategy."

Accession No. 1567-002: Washington and Northern Idaho Council of Churches and Christian Education records, 1922-1968 (bulk 1940-1968)Return to Top
- Administrative records
- Subject series
- Committees and groups
Scope and Content: Correspondence, reports, bulletins, lists, legislation, subject series, financial records, conferences and conventions, programs, ephemera; 1922-1968 (bulk 1940-1968).
The final series, Pacific Northwest Council On Theological Education, consists of records of this Portland organization. Its relationship to the Council is not clear.
Restrictions on Access: Open to all users.
Restrictions on Use: Creator's literary rights not transferred to the University of Washington Libraries.
Acquisition Info: Gift of Council of Churches, April 25, 1974
Processing Info: This accession was partially processed in 1991 and sometime previously. The material in the Committees and Groups series has not been processed. The Executive Committee and General Board files contain similar and overlapping material and should be used together. For financial information, see both the financial records files in box 4 and the Financial (Fund Raising) Committee files in boxes 10 and 11.
Because the Washington-Northern Idaho Council of Churches shared offices, staff and budget with the Seattle Council of Churches until 1958, there may be some records of the Seattle Council in these.
Processing Info: Approximately 200 black and white photographs were relocated to the photography collection in the Special Collections Division. They include portraits of church groups and officials; many document the work of United Church Overseas Relief regarding relief supplies for Europe and Korea.
