Jackson Wilcox Exhibition on Display in the Library Lobby
Jackson Wilcox is an American Baptist pastor, artist, writer, and editor with a ministry career spanning over six decades. At each congregation served he published church newsletters illustrated with his distinctive cartoons and drawings. As a pastor in Hollywood during the Jesus People Movement, he produced a number of cartoons that were published in the Hollywood Free Paper. This collection provides a unique window into the effort to make the Gospel accessible to the distracted youth in the cultural turmoil between 1968-1980.
The Jackson Wilcox Collection at the David Allan Hubbard Library includes cartoons, newsletters, sermon notebooks, newspaper columns, and other materials documenting the ministry of Jackson Wilcox. Come by and look at the exhibition while you sip a cup of joe and delay writing that midterm!

Reception for “The Narrative of Life: A Response” Exhibit in the DAHL Lobby
In November of this year, The Brehm Center hosted a series of lectures given by Vanderbilt University’s Dr. Robin Jensen and artist John August Swanson. Students and alumni that attended were invited to create artwork in dialogue with the theme of the lectures: the intersection of faith and visual art and the important role that story plays at this convergence.
“Narrative of Life: A Response to the Brehm Lecture Series,” features works from seven artists who participated in this unique opportunity:
Christopher Min
John Lui
Joy Justus
Lin Preiss
Michelle McCreary
Olga Lah
Sarah Amanda Jones
Worth noting is that each of the participating artists chose a different visual medium or style as a means to respond to the Brehm Lectures.
On behalf of the featured artists, the Brehm Center, and Fuller Theological Seminary, we encourage you to engage with the art and the stories behind them. You are invited to a reception to view the works by these student and alumnae artists on Thursday, January 6 from 6:30-7:30pm in the David Allan Hubbard Library on Fuller’s campus.

Library receives a $10,000 grant from the Virginia H. Farah Foundation
The David Allan Hubbard Library is pleased to announce that it has received a $10,000 grant from the Virginia H. Farah Foundation.
The Library will use the grant to establish the Virginia H. Farah Foundation Orthodox Studies Collection. These materials will support students doing research on the Orthodox Churches and their contexts as well as strengthen the Library’s overall holdings on Christianity around the world. According to Associate Provost for Library and Information Technology, David Bundy, “We are thrilled that this Foundation so deeply committed to the ministries of the Orthodox Church is partnering with us. The Library’s goal to collect and make available a comprehensive depiction of Christian thought and worship would be impossible without the expertise and generosity of contributors like them.”
Each year the Virginia H. Farah Foundation funds the humanitarian efforts, missionary labor, education, and scholarly work of organizations committed to the Orthodox Church. The Foundation hopes these projects will help spread the Orthodox Christian message while improving the quality of life on earth.

Library Adds the Jesus People and Hollywood Free Paper Collection
“It began with an encounter, the experience of faith in Jesus Christ among the hippies. Beginning in 1967 many of those formerly involved in the counterculture began to proclaim that their lives had undergone a radical spiritual transformation. Addicts spoke of freedom from drugs, wide-eyed teenagers recounted dramatic healings and miracles, while others joined in choruses of ecstatic utterances wherever two or three devotees were gathered together. Testimony services revealed that something extraordinary was happening.” So wrote David Di Sabatino in The Jesus People: An Annotated Bibliography and General Resource (Jester Media, 2003), a work chronicling a significant moment in the history of Christian revivals “The Jesus People Movement” which was led in part by Duane Pederson, and kindled by the grass roots publication, the Hollywood Free Paper.
And now Fuller’s David Allan Hubbard Library is pleased to announce the establishment of The Duane Pederson, Jesus People International, and Hollywood Free Paper Collection, housed in its Archives and Special Collections. The Collection includes a complete set of all issues of the Hollywood Free Paper, various Jesus People publications, ministry newsletters, correspondence, recordings, films, posters, artwork, memorabilia, and over 15,000 photos preserved by Duane Pederson. Opening receptions will occur on Saturday, May 15th at 2 p.m. in Payton Hall and on Sunday, May 16th at 4:30 p.m. in the Library lobby. All alumni/ae and friends are invited to attend. RSVP to archives@fuller.edu or call 626.304.3744. A portion of the Collection will be on display in the Library lobby from Monday, May 3rd, until Wednesday, June 30th. All are welcome to stop in and view the exhibit. Hippie apparel is encouraged!
