Adam J. Barrone - Silver Lining (Apostolic Christian Church Newsletter)

The Silver Lining

The Silver Lining is the monthly newsletter of the Apostolic Christian Church of America. Its original purpose was to keep the church's World War II participants informed. The first issue in October 1943 had 35 recipients. It blossomed into a nationwide demoninational publication which presents news reports from each congregation along with sermons and other items of interest. The congregational reports are rich with records of (adult) baptisms along with birth, marriage, and death notices. Some of the earlier issues presented biographical information on the congregations' oldest living members.

I have assembled a collection of The Silver Lining thanks to the generousity of various church families, the Mennonite Historical Library at Goshen, Indiana, and the Heritage Center Foundation at Fairbury, Illinois. I am willing to do lookups in these issues upon request.

The table below contains links to a growing number Silver Lining issues in PDF format. Issue numbers in parenthesis were not dated and their placement in the table was based on my estimate of the issue date. The bullets indicate issues which had no numbering.
