CYF Conference 16 in the Upper Midwest has to have produced more ordained leadership than any conference outside Kentucky and Texas. Thanks for sharing this. Can’t wait for the next post.
Wondered whether you had access to background on the Tennyson Center for Children in Denver, once NBA and now still supported by several DOC churches. I am most curious on the name of Tennyson, where it came from and if a family, whose. (It's part of my ancestry.) Thanks!
Interesting question: I do not know much about NBA's history beyond what's recorded in their official history "Inasmuch"*, although I have a semi-personal tie through their early engagement with the Christian Hospital in Valparaiso, Indiana from 1905 to 1938 (pg. 47 & 59 below). The Tennyson Center is not mentioned as such, but the Loveland Center in Colorado, which ended up in Denver, is discussed on pages 42 & 43. It apparently ended up as the Tennyson Center, but I'm not finding anything about the source of the name: https://www.tennysoncenter.org/blog/blog/tennyson-center-for-children-celebrating-116-years/
Thank you for your search! Appreciate your response and effort.
Blessings, Jo Ann
