Scope and Contents

This small collection contains the booklet, Entire Sanctification, written by J. P. Hughes and published by Church of God Publishing House about 1930. It also contains documents related to controversies concerning church doctrine, polity, and ministerial discipline in the late 1930s. These include court filings from 1937 and 1938, the Minutes of Call Session of the General Assembly of the Church of God Held at Markleysburg, Pa. March 24-26, 1939, and a photocopy of the pamphlet, Truth vs. Fallacy, written by J. P. Hughes in response to J. H. Walker's "WARNING" in the Church of God Evangel of May 13, 1939. Hughes was the elected Editor and Publisher of the group led by H. W. Poteat that claimed to be the authentic Church of God that remained faithful to the original teachings and government upon which the church was founded by Richard G. Spurling. They claimed that through leadership actions they understood to be contrary to the General Assembly's rulings, as well as a "controverted doctrine" being taught at the Bible School, the group led by J. H. Walker was illegitimate.
