From Milligan to Emmanuel: Blowers and Perkins

Future Mission of Emmanuel

From Milligan to Emmanuel: Drs. Blowers and Perkins

Dr. Paul Blowers is the Dean E. Walk-er Professor of Church History and joined Emmanuel’s faculty in 1989. Blowers is a scholar of patristics and early Christianity and teaches the base course of church his-tory called Christian Tradition, as well as a number of other courses like the Stone-Campbell Movement, History of Biblical Interpretation, and Eastern Christianity. Blowers comments, “I like to deal with enduring issues of Christian identity and historical theology.”

Blowers began his higher education at Milligan due to a summer camp he at-tended called the School of the Ministry and the partnership his home church had with Milligan. He says, “I seemed to know I always wanted to go to Milligan. I met a number of faculty and was deeply im-pressed by the quality of the school.” After finishing his degree in History, it was now

faculty of both E m m a n u e l and Milligan who were key influencers in his decision to attend Em-manuel, where

he received his M.Div. Following Em-manuel, Dr. Blowers received his Ph.D. from Notre Dame.

When asked for his thoughts on the integration Blowers comments, “It is my conviction that Milligan and Emmanuel can do better together than what they do separately. We are kindred spirits as insti-tutions and see the nature and mission of the Church in much the same light. Milli-gan has a wonderful history and a tremen-dous administration and faculty. I think the integration will be great for Emmanu-el’s long-term stability and thriving.”

Blowers teaches because he believes “the Church of the near future is going to need ministers and educators who are historically informed, biblically literate, theologically grounded, and who have a strong sense of the cross-cultural charac-ter and mission of the Christian faith.” It

is for this reason that Blowers and Emmanuel as an institution is so commit-ted to a solid Church History education.

Dr. Miriam Perkins, Associ-ate Professor of Theology and Society, came to Milligan as a transfer stu-dent during her junior year of

college. She had been a student at a fine liberal arts college in Ohio, but over time grew “dissatisfied with the lack of Chris-tian intellectual and spiritual life.” This motivated her to take six months off to work in Ukraine, and when she returned she decided to attend Milligan. Her ex-perience was exactly what she had been longing for—a “thoughtful and informed study of the scriptures, history, and arts.”

Dr. Perkins knew by the time she fin-ished at Milligan that she wanted to pur-sue a career connected to Christian min-istry. Her humanities advisor, Dr. Patricia Magness, “advocated seminary as my next step” Dr. Perkins recalls, and, “she talked about the importance of graduate edu-cation for women seeking to serve the church and about Emmanuel’s commit-ment since its founding to admit wom-en for all degrees.” It was at Emmanuel she continued her exemplary education, and she is “proud to be a graduate from both institutions.” Dr. Perkins went on to Catholic University to earn her Ph.D.

Dr. Perkins views her education at both Milligan and Emmanuel as providing her “the educational breadth that I needed to be grounded, flexible, and creative as a

The faculty of Emmanuel are a vital component of the seminary’s mission, which is to prepare men and women for effective ministry. Their commitment to continually develop a mature love for God, do scholarly research, and be involved in practical ministry informs their approach to students in the classroom. Through the faculty’s leadership, Emmanuel is able to offer a valuable education. The two faculty featured in this article have a history with Emmanuel as not only a place of employment but also as their alma mater. In addition, both Dr. Blowers and Dr. Perkins began their higher education at the seminary’s sister school, Milligan College. Many others have taken a similar path of attending both Milligan and Emmanuel since the seminary’s founding in 1965. Blowers and Perkins are part of a strong partnership between the schools, and this bond will only grow as the integration continues.

“The Church of the near future is going to need ministers and educators who are historically in-

formed, biblically literate, theologically grounded, and who have a strong

sense of the cross-cultural character and mission of

the Christian faith.”

Dr. Paul Blowers

As Emmanuel moves closer to becoming an embedded seminary in Milligan College, Dr. Michael Sweeney, who has served as presi-dent of Emmanuel since 2009, has announced his intent to re-turn to the Emmanuel faculty this summer. He returns to his previous position as a professor in Christian ministries, with ad-ditional duties in the New Testa-ment department and as director of the Master of Christian Minis-tries program.

The Sweeneys previously served for 15 years as Bible translators with Pioneer Bible Translators in Papua New Guinea and have significant experience in global missions. Dr. Sweeney’s first love is teaching, and he will help fill some much-needed roles on the Emmanuel faculty.

The Board of Trustees applaud Dr. Sweeney for all he has accom-plished as president of Emmanuel, especially during such difficult eco-nomic times. At Emmanuel’s com-mencement on May 17, he was recognized with a plaque to honor his time as president. A presidential portrait was also unveiled that now hangs in the main lobby of Em-manuel’s B. D. Phillips Memorial Building.

The Emmanuel Board of Trust-ees has appointed a transition team to lead the institution until the full integration with Milligan College, currently planned for Summer 2015. Emmanuel’s dean, Dr. Rollin Ramsaran, now serves as chief exec-utive officer for the seminary. Rob-ert Hall serves as chief operating of-ficer and Dan Lawson as executive director of development.

Christian person. I never feel intimidated by new information but am always look-ing to deepen my own understanding of faith through new learning. Milligan and Emmanuel opened many doors to learn-ing for me that included literature, history, and the arts. I draw upon those strengths every day as a theological educator.”

Teaching is very important for Dr. Perkins. She believes that “theological education can help revive and support the church.” And through her role at Emman-uel, students are becoming ministers who are better prepared to responsibly lead and guide Christian congregations with depth and commitment to the teachings of Je-sus. As the Emmanuel and Milligan in-tegration effort continues, Dr. Perkins sees that Emmanuel will provide Milligan students a way to continue into graduate education for ministry. Like-wise, through the integration Milligan will provide a broader institutional support and op-portunity to interact with stu-dents and faculty across a lib-eral arts curriculum.

During the 2014-2015 school year, Dr. Perkins will be on sabbatical. Her initial

focus will be preparing a paper for the Ameri-can Academy of Religion meetings that considers how the preaching of Martin Luther King, Jr. when compared to Billy Graham influenced how Christian communities now approach war and national crisis. The next part of her sabbatical will be devoted to reading in support of redesigning a course she teaches on theological anthropology and the human body.

“Milligan and Emmanuel opened many doors to learning for me that in-

cluded literature, history, and the arts. I draw upon those strengths every day as a theological educator.”

There are few people within the fellow-ship of the Christian Churches/Churches of Christ whose record of service to the church can match that of Dr. E. Rich-ard Crabtree. Dr. Crabtree is a veteran of more than 60 years in ministry. The first half century of that service was spent in just three churches: 19 years at White Oak

Christian Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, 14 years at First Christian Church in Canton, Ohio, and 18 years at Academy Christian Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. While in Canton he helped es-tablish Canton Christian Home, a retire-ment and nursing facility that houses and cares for 300 residents.

In 1972 Crabtree was elected as Presi-dent of the North American Christian Convention and was the speaker at the first “stadium” service at Riverfront Sta-dium in Cincinnati. He has also served the Convention as Treasurer, National Registration Chairman, and as a member of the Executive and Continuation Com-mittees.

For most of his life, Dr. Crabtree has been involved in efforts to promote Christian unity. He served several terms as a member of the Executive Commit-tee of the World Convention of Christian Churches/Churches of Christ and served four years as a Vice President. Crabtree is also a Life Member of the Disciples of Christ Historical Society and has served on the Executive Committee of the Soci-ety for several years.

Dr. E. Richard Crabtree Receives 2014 James A. Garfield AwardDr. Crabtree has a passion for the mis-

sion of the church. He was an incorpo-rator of FAME, an international medical mission, and has been a member of that Board of Directors for more than 40 years. Crabtree also helped found South Pacific Christian Fellowship in Adelaide, Australia, in 1970. For 30 years, he served as Chairman for its Board of Directors. In 2001 Crabtree retired from his ministry at Academy Christian Church to become the Executive Director of that mission, a position he continues to occupy.

For 30 years, Crabtree was a member of the publishing committee of Stan-dard Publishing Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. For more than 20 years, he has served as a Commissioner for the Chap-laincy Endorsement Commission, Chris-tian Churches and Churches of Christ, the agency which endorses chaplains for service in the military, hospitals, jails, and fire and police departments.

Dr. Crabtree is Emmanuel’s longest standing member of the Board of Trust-ees, just completing his 44th year. He also serves on Milligan College’s Board of Ad-visors.

President Michael Sweeney and Dr. E. Richard Crabtree

The following Q&A provides helpful information about the inte-gration process:

Why is Emmanuel consider-ing integration with Milligan?

Financial and economic conditions have made it increasingly difficult to operate small seminaries like Emman-uel. Emmanuel has been very suc-cessful at preparing men and women for Christian ministry and has been blessed with supportive churches and faithful donors. Due to her small size, the seminary has been forced to rely heavily on debt financing for capital expansion and to support operations of the seminary. The national econo-my has made it even more difficult for Emmanuel in recent years.

Who is Milligan College?Milligan College is a nationally-recog-

nized Christian liberal arts college with a nearly 150 year history. Milligan’s campus includes over 40 buildings located on 195 beautiful acres of Northeast Tennessee, directly across the road from Emmanuel. Milligan offers more than 100 under-graduate and graduate academic programs serving 1,200 students from 40 states and 20 countries. Since her founding in 1866, Milligan has been dedicated to preparing servant leaders who will serve the church and the community in a variety of profes-sions.

What is the history of the relation-ship between Emmanuel and Milli-gan?

The two institutions have always op-erated independently but have a strong shared history. In fact, Emmanuel was founded in 1965 using shared space on the

Milligan campus and under the leadership of Mil-ligan’s then-pres-ident Dr. Dean E. Walker. Both institutions are part of the Stone-Campbell Move-ment and have a similar mission of preparing men and women for vocational min-istry and servant-leadership.

What benefits does Emmanuel gain from the integration?

Milligan is a nationally-recognized lead-er in Christian higher education thanks to God’s guidance, good stewardship, prudent management, and the generous support of alumni and friends. Milligan provides an exceptional education and experience with proven outcomes that are well above regional, state, and national averages. Em-manuel will benefit from Milligan’s abil-ity to operate educational programs of the highest academic caliber that are financially sustainable within the context of a Chris-tian community of scholars.

What benefits does Milligan gain from the integration?

Emmanuel is the leader among graduate seminaries serving the Restoration Move-ment, the churches with which Milligan has been affiliated for nearly 150 years. As such, Milligan will have the opportunity to participate in offering graduate academic programs that serve our churches, includ-ing Emmanuel’s doctoral program. Addi-tionally, Emmanuel enjoys a beautiful and spacious campus at a time when Milligan’s academic programs are in crucial need of additional space. Leaders of both campus-es believe that both schools will be better stewards of God’s resources by sharing fa-cilities and resources.

Will Emmanuel’s mission and name still be the same after the inte-gration?

Not only will Emmanuel’s mission and name be the same, it will be enhanced by having the strength of Milligan College behind it. Since her founding in 1866,

Emmanuel Christian Seminary has been in a conversation with Milli-gan College that will result in the seminary becoming part of Milligan by the summer of 2015. Here is a progress report of this dialogue:

July 2012 – In danger of closing its doors, Emmanuel asked that consider-ation be given to some sort of operating relationship with Milligan College due to Emmanuel’s financial stresses with debt and daily operation budget.

December 2012 – In support of the integration process, Emmanuel received a major gift of $3,000,000 designated for debt retirement.

July 2013 – After a period of due diligence, both schools entered into a management contract whereby Milligan personnel provide a range of administra-tive and support services to Emmanuel, including finance, admissions, computer technology, and campus maintenance.

October 2013 – Emmanuel Trust-ees appointed a steering team of Rollin Ramsaran, Dan Lawson, and Robert Hall to expedite the integration with Milligan College.

December 2013 – In support of the ongoing integration process, Emmanuel received an additional $1 million gift for debt reduction. Debt has now been reduced to $2.2 million as of May 31, 2014.

June 2014 – Dr. Michael Sweeney transitioned from the presidency back to the Emmanuel faculty to teach and serve as Director of the Master of Christian Ministries program, Emmanuel’s new online degree.

June 2014 – Emmanuel’s budget focuses on serious reduc-tion in spending, while increas-ing student enrollment and re-taining a commitment to its core mission.

Summer 2015 – The process of Emmanuel Christian Semi-nary becoming part of Milligan College should be finalized, real-izing the original vision of Em-manuel’s founding president, Dean E. Walker.

An Update on the Integration with Milligan College

“It is greatly encouraging to know

that Milligan sees value in the work we do at Emmanuel, and I anticipate a strong future of working together for the

Kingdom.” ~Elizabeth Reid, current student

“The Milligan-Emmanuel integration is an idea whose time has come. It will strengthen two institutions at once: Emmanuel will have a more secure future,

and Milligan will gain a first-class graduate seminary. It’s a win-win.” ~Dr. LeRoy Lawson, Emmanuel

faculty, 2014 recipient of Milligan’s Fide et Amore Award

Milligan has remained true to her mission. Tens of thousands have come to Milligan to prepare for lives of service in vocations such as medicine, nursing, law, business, education, missions, ministry, and more. These men and women have lived out the college’s bold mission to serve as Christian leaders in their chosen profession. Since being founded on Milligan’s campus in 1965, Emmanuel has been about a similar mission, preparing leaders for the church. Emmanuel Christian Seminary now will continue this mission as part of Milligan’s School of Bible and Ministry.

How can I support Emmanuel be-fore and during the integration?

As always, Emmanuel and her students covet your prayers. Additionally, this year Emmanuel requires $1.4 million of un-designated gift income to support schol-arships, academics, and the spiritual for-mation of her students. Emmanuel must remain strong economically in order to move forward with this integration. Gifts can continue to be mailed to Emmanuel at One Walker Drive, Johnson City, TN 37601.

How can I support Emmanuel af-ter the integration?

After the integration, Emmanuel’s vital mission will remain intact. Men and wom-en will still come to Emmanuel to prepare

for lives of Christian service. In fact, we anticipate that a strengthened Emmanuel will attract more students, which will mean even greater need. Support of annual schol-arship funding and endowments will con-tinue to be important to ensure scholarship dollars are adequate to cover the annual needs of the seminary students. Though Emmanuel will be part of a larger institu-tion in Milligan College, supporters who wish to restrict their support to graduate seminary education can still designate their gifts toward “Emmanuel Christian Semi-nary” and can be assured that their funds will be used to meet the needs of the semi-nary.

If I have in-cluded Emmanuel in my estate plan, how will the inte-gration affect this provision?

Emmanuel Chris-tian Seminary and Milligan College are committed to hon-oring the intentions of donors who have generously provided for both schools. We work with donors to insure that bequests

or gifts received by Emmanuel prior to or after the integration will be used to fulfill the donor’s wishes. As you review your plans, the members of the advancement teams of both schools stand ready to assist you in ensuring that your wishes are carried out. Please contact Dan Lawson, Execu-tive Director of Development, Emmanuel Christian Seminary, at dlawson@ecs.edu or 423-461-1530, or Jack Simpson, Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Milligan College, at jasimpson@milligan.edu or 423-461-8955, with any questions or to discuss your plans.

As we continue the process of inte-gration, we ask that you hold up both

schools, and their leadership, faculty, staff, and admin-istrations, in your prayers. While much work re-mains to be done to bring the two schools together, we are convinced there are great re-wards that will benefit the King-dom of Christ.

Future Mission of Emmanuelby Rollin A. Ramsaran, Academic Dean

Our fu-ture is bright and our mis-sion is clear. Even within our relatively short history of 48 years, cultural, social, political, and t h e o l o g i c a l climates have

moved and shifted significantly – and I dare say they will continue to do so with even greater intensity. How in this unique time and place do we continue to attract well qualified men and women who have a passion and desire to serve both in local churches and in a variety of mission-related contexts, both at home and abroad? The answer is providing the necessary tools for sound biblical interpre-tation, engagement with the wisdom of the church through the ages, promoting

the strengths of our Stone-Campbell tra-dition, and teaching a practical and public theology undergirded with keen ministry skills. Doing this well is the backbone and foundation of a larger purpose: de-veloping women and men in our semi-nary to become “leading servants” with an enduring spiritual formation that lasts through a lifetime of ministry. Our

goal is to bring exceptionally prepared leaders into our churches. To do it “the Emmanuel way” is a tall order – but we are energized by the continuing challenge. Our partnership with Milligan College will provide continuity and integration of our missions in a way that both institu-tions will be strengthened. Our future is bright and our mission is clear!
