Bio History Note

Jean, Cora and Louise Childs, are alumna of Manchester College.

Frances Smith Thomas is recognized in this presentation.

The mission of nonviolent transformation of society was received through his wife, Jean Childs Young, alumna of Manchester College.

Living in relationship with God, is a theme.

The immorality of poverty in the 21st century is another dynamic topic of his speech.

Andrew was Jean Child's pastor in Alabama.  He followed her to Europe as a COB volunteer.  Fran Thomas was the guiding force behind Coretta King and her sister to attend Antioch as well as the Child's sisters.  "...So all of us were somehow, before we knew it, engulfed in this mission of nonviolent transformation of society, largely by the selection of our wives." (3:42)

...God works in mysterious ways, there is a purpose for your life.....
