The Seattle Federation of Churches was founded in 1919, at a time
when such ecumenical councils were being organized across the country and world
wide. The constitution of the new federation stated as its purpose "to promote
the welfare, comity and cooperation of the churches and to foster religious
movements and Community betterment."
In 1928 two state-wide ecumenical organizations, the Inland Empire
Council of Christian Education and the Western Washington Council of Religious
Education merged and became known as the Washington-Northern Idaho Council of
Christian Education. The Rev. Gertrude Apel was elected general secretary in
1929 and served until 1958. The Rev. Apel also served as secretary to the
Seattle Federation of Churches, which functioned as a local branch. During
these years there occurred mergers and consolidations of many state and local
ecumenical programs, and an eventual blurring of the separation between the
programs of the regional council and the Seattle federation.
From the beginning the church council supported local churches in such
pastoral endeavors as Christian education and chaplaincy programs. Community
involvement addressed a wide range of issues, from personal morals and civic
betterment to international issues of justice, peace, and disarmament.
World War II brought with it several areas in the community where the
Council saw a mission. Two major programs were the Armed Forces Ministry
Service center, housed at the YMCA, which offered a "home away from home" for
servicemen stationed in the Seattle area, and various Japanese-American support
programs.
By 1957 confusion over the roles of the regional and local councils,
and a high budget deficit prompted a self study. In 1959, following the
recommendations of a study by the National Council of Churches (the Sanderson
Field Survey Report), the existing organization was formally separated into two
councils. Gertrude Apel resigned her position during this time (July 1958).
The two new councils were the Greater Seattle Council of Churches,
headed by the Rev. Lemuel Petersen, and the Washington-Northern Idaho Council
of Churches, headed by the Rev. Ralph Turnindge. The mission of the new Seattle
council was to provide churches with an instrument for cooperative ministry to
the larger community; it also provided leadership training and other services
to local congregations.
A major effort for the new Seattle council was participation in the
Seattle World's Fair (Century 21 Exposition) in the summer of 1962. Involvement
included financing and administration for the "Christian Witness in Century 21"
pavilion and a children's pavilion, which offered activities and childcare.
The 1960s also brought continued involvement in the socio-political
areas of race relations, civil rights, and human service. In 1968 a Task Force
for Redesign was appointed to recommend an administrative structure that could
more efficiently "meet new and pressing urban problems." It was felt that the
ability to address the problems of a rapidly growing urban community was
hampered by the tradition-bound philosophy and departmental structure of the
existing council.
In May 1969 the Greater Seattle Council of Churches celebrated 50
years of work in the community. At the close of the year, the organization was
formally dissolved and replaced with the new Church Council of Greater Seattle.
The new council was structured to be more flexible, with a short-term,
task-focused orientation that was designed to review priorities, plan
strategies, and mobilize resources to address the rapidly changing needs of the
community. The emphasis shifted from aid to individual churches toward
providing a forum for a concerted effort to combat major social problems.
Apart from the task forces of the council, which were designed to be
flexible and changing, a subsidiary "Church Services Agency" was established to
maintain such ongoing pastoral care programs as the Friend to Friend Nursing
Home Visitation Program, the Chore Services Volunteer Program, and Hospital
Chaplaincy and Youth Service Center Programs.
The Rev. William B. Cate became the president-director of the new
organization and served until his retirement in 1990. The new council was
immediately faced with a major challenge. Severe Boeing Aircraft Company
layoffs threw the Seattle economy into a depression and left thousands of
people hungry. The Neighbors in Need food bank program was developed by Seattle
churches as a response to the crisis. The success of this program led to its
replication in other communities.
In 1971 the council identified the promotion of peace as its second
highest priority and experimented with a coalition task force made up of
community peace organizations. The Seattle Ecumenical Religious Peace Action
Coalition (SERPAC) was created as a vehicle to explore ways of continuing the
momentum of Vietnam war protests. The coalition model proved very successful
and SERPAC became the official peace task force of the council.
Records document the Church Council of Greater Seattle from its
founding in 1919 through 2003. Included are records of some organizations that
existed separately for a time and then merged with the Seattle or
Washington-Northern Idaho councils. Also included are records of the state,
regional, and national councils or other councils with which the Seattle
council had close ties. Records include correspondence, minutes, speeches and
writings, reports, statements, financial records, newsletters, news releases,
scrapbooks, and ephemera.
Persons represented in the records include Gertrude L. Apel, William
B. Cate, Lemuel Petersen, Roy Bergen Guild, Jessie Kinnear Kenton, Raymond G.
Hunthausen, and David C. Bloom. Additional organizations reflected
significantly in the records include the American Civil Liberties Union of
Washington, the American Friends Service Committee, Neighbors in Need
(Seattle), the Washington and Northern Idaho Council of Churches and Christian
Education, the Washington Association of Churches (Seattle), the National
Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America, and the 1982
Target Seattle conference.
The records are open to all users.

Historical Note
: The council maintained that internment of Americans of
Japanese ancestry was an act of racial prejudice. There were three phases of
activity resulting from this position. The first was to lobby against
evacuation. The second was the organization and promotion of religious, social,
and educational programs among evacuees, particularly in the assembly centers.
The final phase provided assistance to Japanese Americans returning from
internment camps, through the operation of a relocation hostel. There were
three organizations that corresponded to the three types of activities
undertaken by the council. |
| Processing Info: These records were filed together in the council office and
have been kept together. |
