| Publisher Description: Sermons of W. L Vickers 1958-1960. W. L. "Vic" Vickers served as interim minister for two South Dakota Congregational Churches, the Ipswich Congregational Church (now Ipswich United Church of Christ), and First Congregational Church of Waubay, from 1958 to 1960. He lived with his family in Aberdeen during these years and worked for the Internal Revenue Service, where he was a special detective. He was born January 24, 1921 and died April 23, 1982. He had no formal training in theology but, as with many other disciplines, taught himself through application of tireless reading and sharp critical thinking. He studied Cruden's Complete Concordance to the Holy Scriptures (1737) and read Harry Emerson Fosdick, Nels Ferre, and J. B. Phillips carefully. He developed his thinking from these and other sources blended with his own insights. He was irrepressibly optimistic about man's progressive understanding of God and the positive role religion could and should play in everyday life. |
