Donations Needed to Purchase Dissertations
By David Roebuck
In its mission to collect, preserve, and make
available for research, Church of God, Pentecostal, and Charismatic
documents, records, and other media, the Dixon Pentecostal Research Center
welcomes donations to assist the Center.
Although the Center has an acquisitions budget, it is
not nearly enough to fulfill the Center’s mission. Economic
inflation and a flat operating budget have led to a substantial decrease
in the funds available to purchase books and materials related to the
Pentecostal movement and the Church of God.
At this time, the Center is especially in need of
funds to purchase dissertations that are being written about the
Pentecostal movement. Dissertations written at research universities
are often the very best materials available on the history and theology of
the Pentecostal movement, but they are expensive. Those written at
United States universities currently cost $47 each, while those written
outside the United States are even more. Donations made to the
Research Center are tax deductible and may be mailed to:
Dixon Pentecostal Research Center
260 11th Street NE
Cleveland, TN 37312.
Of course the Research Center is always looking for
early Pentecostal materials and artifacts that donors may want to donate
from their personal libraries. This material is carefully sorted and
those items that the Center does not already have are cataloged and made
available for research. If we already have a particular item, it is
often passed along to another Pentecostal school or library that may need
it for their collection.
