Evangelical Friend

"Since the days of the early apostolic church, Christians have felt an inner motivation for getting together for worship, for fellowship and for the work of compassionate service. There is an invisible, yet powerful force that draws together those of like faith and likemind. Evangelical Friend initiates the publication concern to build more adequate and stronger lines of communication among Friends in our world of today" (Evangelical Friend, Vol. 1, No. 1, pg 5) The Evangelical Friend was the official publication of the Evangelical Friends Alliance and was published monthly at 600 East Third Street, Newberg, Oregon 97132.
