释义 |
Academic careerRussell graduated from Graceland in 1960. He later received a masters of divinity (M.Div.) from the Saint Paul School of Theology and a J.D. from the University of Iowa.[1] Russell served as editor of Courage: A Journal of History, Thought, and Action throughout its entire run from 1970–73.[3] He was a founding member of the John Whitmer Historical Association and has served as the organization's president (1977) and executive secretary (1979–81).[4] He also served as editor of the John Whitmer Historical Association Journal (1984–85).[5] Russell was one of the original three Community of Christ historians to join the Mormon History Association and he later served as president of that organization.[6] Russell's first book Treasure in Earthen Vessels an Introduction to the New Testament was published in 1966 by Herald Publishing House. Since that time his research on the Latter Day Saint movement has been published widely in journals, but the only book-length study that has appeared is his 2008 edited volume, Homosexual Saints: The Community of Christ Experience. Social activismRussell became active in the civil rights movement in the 1960s and was co-founder of the Independence, Missouri, chapter of the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE).[1] As editor of Courage, in the early 1970s, Russell advocated women's ordination to the priesthood of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now Community of Christ).[7] This policy change became a reality when women began to be ordained in 1985.[8] Also as editor of Courage, Russell advocated that the RLDS Church abandon lineal succession in the office of Prophet-President.[9] This policy change became a reality with the ordination of W. Grant McMurray in 1996. In recent years Russell has advocated for full participation of gay, lesbian, transsexual, and transgender members in the Community of Christ. In recognition of his work, Affirmation awarded its 2011 Affirmation Allies Award to Russell and his wife Lois. Published scholarship
