The Religious Telescope was the first regular
publication authorized by the General Conference of the Church of the United Brethren in
Christ. First published in December of 1834 at Circleville, Ohio it was edited by Rev.
William Rhinehart, a noted reformer within the United Brethren denomination. After 1889
the Religious Telescope was published by the New Constitution branch of the
Church of the United Brethren in Christ. It was published continuously until 1947 when the
New Constitution United Brethren merged with the Evangelical Church. The merger of the two
denominations also meant the merger of their two main periodicals. The Religous
Telescope merged with the Evangelical Messenger to become Telescope-Messenger. |
| The Religous Telescope Digitization Project is an ongoing
work that digitizes sections of the Religious Telescope need for study by genealogists and
researchers. Sections and articles are digitized as needed. Each article is digitized
seperately, while the obituraies are digitized per issue. Check the obituaries alphabetical index to see which issues have
been already digitized. If you do not see the issue you need, contact the Historical Center to request that it be added to
the list. Please allow one to two weeks for the Historical Center to process your request. |
