Remembering Clarence Snelling
I do not have the details, but I recall that Clarence Snelling was on the faculty of Iliff Seminary in Denver and was very supportive of our work there. In skimming through an Archive listing, I found this brochure of a Training event held at Iliff. It is only the cover of a brochure, but it brought to mind the vastness of the Crimson Line and the gratitude for Clarence and Shirley Heckman Snelling, who each were part of spreading our work with local churches at various times. I hope others can add to that history. https://wedgeblade.net/files/archives_assets/19903.pdf With gratitude, Lynda Cock
Dear Colleagues, I remember several brief conversations with Clarence at summer programs over several past years on the West Side. Came in contact with him and Shirley years later at Park Hill United Methodist Church of Denver where I was also a member. Clarence was a ready willing and able substitute in leading our worship service during times whenever the pastor had to be away from gracing the pulpit. Grace & Peace, Dawn Collins We love the Creator/Source because the Source/Creator loved us first.- 1 John 4:19 On Sunday, April 15, 2018, 3:48:17 PM MDT, Lynda C via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: <!--#yiv0320307570 _filtered #yiv0320307570 {font-family:"Cambria Math";panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv0320307570 {font-family:DengXian;panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1;} _filtered #yiv0320307570 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv0320307570 {panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1;}#yiv0320307570 #yiv0320307570 p.yiv0320307570MsoNormal, #yiv0320307570 li.yiv0320307570MsoNormal, #yiv0320307570 div.yiv0320307570MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif;}#yiv0320307570 a:link, #yiv0320307570 span.yiv0320307570MsoHyperlink {color:#0563C1;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv0320307570 a:visited, #yiv0320307570 span.yiv0320307570MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:#954F72;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv0320307570 span.yiv0320307570EmailStyle17 {font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif;color:windowtext;}#yiv0320307570 .yiv0320307570MsoChpDefault {font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif;} _filtered #yiv0320307570 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;}#yiv0320307570 div.yiv0320307570WordSection1 {}--> I do not have the details, but I recall that Clarence Snelling was on the faculty of Iliff Seminary in Denver and was very supportive of our work there.

Clarence was a young Methodist in New Orleans in the mid-1940's in High School. He was a contemporary of my Dad's so most of my stories are second hand. George and Wanda Holcombe can probably share more first hand. He was a pillar of the Civil Rights efforts within the Methodist Church serving as the Campus minister at Tulane in New Orleans. He was innovative in his approach by organizing Bible studies for both Tulane and the nearby African American College. He was active in the National Methodist Student Movement (NMSM) conferences. Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Laubach and Joseph Wesley Mathews were keynote speakers among centennial leaders of the century invited to speak. Many of us remember the MOTIVE magazine which was the publication spawned by the MSM. Although he never directly worked with the teaching programs of the Ecumenical Institute or ICA he was a life time supporter of the Spirit Movement. Many of us recall his participation in the Millennium Connection (2000) in Denver. Paula On Sun, Apr 15, 2018 at 4:48 PM, Lynda C via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Clarence was one of the teachers of my first RS-1 in Denver in 1970 where he was on the faculty of Iliff Seminary. I have many memories of his participation at House Church at the Denver House, the LCE and recruitment of courses. A great spirit giant who addressed the lives of many of us. In gratitude.

Thank you, Jim, for these two fine clips of Clarence, with Shirley at his side. Great souls, indeed. We were fortunate to work with them when assigned to the Denver House. Grace is theirs, and Peace.
