Riley Case

I happen to be a retired United Methodist clergyman living in Kokomo, Indiana, with an interest in Friends history and the collecting of postcards with pictures of Friends churches. The first revival meeting I planned many years ago in my very first church was conducted by a Quaker holiness evangelist who acted much more like a shouting Methodist than a silent Quaker. Within a 15-mile radius of our home are eight Friends churches. And, while doing an interim ministry at a nearby United Methodist church last summer, the church invited the neighboring Friends congregation over to hear my sermon, "What United Methodists Can Learn from the Friends." My wife, Ruth, and I have four children. One of them is teaching at Malone College, Canton, Ohio, where he and his family attend a Friends church.
