This discussion is between two members of the church of Christ
concerning church support of Orphan Homes and Homes for the Aged.

churches to build and maintain benevolent organizations for the
care of the needy, such as the Boles Home, the Tipton Home, and
other orphan homes and homes for the aged that are among us.

Proposition: It is contrary to the Scriptures for churches to build
and maintain benevolent organizations for the care of the needy,
such as the Boles Home, the Tipton Home and other Orphan Homes and
Homes for the aged that are among us. Affirmative: W. Curtis
Porter; Negative: Guy N. Wood
This debate is one of the most famous of the debates on
Institutionalism. Both participants were well qualified to
represent their respective positions. This discussion was held in
Birmingham, Alabama in 1957. The issue of "Congregational
Cooperation" can be thoroughly studied in this debate from every
point of view. These issues divided churches of Christ in the past
and are relevant for our study today. This debate is being
reprinted with the hope that it will be of great help in
determining the basic principles and attitudes involved in this
great conflict as well as serving as a guide in determining what
the Word of God really teaches on these questions.
