Abstract Details

2015, Undergraduate Honors Program, Malone University, Honors Thesis.
Malone University was founded by J. Walter and Emma Malone in 1892 as an Evangelical Friends Bible training school. At the founding, the school was an intentional community referred to as the Friends Bible Institute. In simulating four days in the life of an 1892 Friends Bible Institute student body, participants had the opportunity to learn experientially about the history of Malone University, intentional communities, evangelism, and the nature of true community. True community involves conflict resolution, commitment, and common goals. Malone University today still carries out the intentions of the founders of the Friends Bible Institute, just in a different format. However, it is possible that Malone University in 2015 does not emphasize the Friends value of evangelism and social reform as much as it did at its founding.
