Oral history interview with Milton P. Andrews, 1992.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/637256701

The collection contains a lengthy interview with Milton P. Andrews Jr., in which he discusses his experiences growing up as the son of a fundamental (Free Methodist Church) preacher in Missouri, his education, religious training, and his own spiritual and philosophical shift to a more progressive brand of religion and into activism for social justice. Andrews details his controversial tenure as the leader of several churches in Ohio, New York and Washington State, including Epworth Lesourd Methodist Church in Tacoma, where his stance against the Vietnam War led to his forced resignation in 1970. The interview only briefly touches on Andrews' involvement with the Hillside Community Church.
