A friend and colleague of the late Walter Rauschenbusch, Dr. Tippy was instrumental in organizing the former Federal Council of Churches’ program for Protestant social action, and served as executive secretary of the Council’s Commission on the Church and Social Service. Along with Bishop Herbert Welch, Dr. Tippy was one of Methodism’s early organizers of social action.
Born in Larwill, Indiana, on November 8, 1866, Dr. Tippy was educated at DePauw and Cornell universities, both of which he was later to serve as campus minister. Besides Cornell and DePauw, he also became university preacher at Mt. Holyoke, Indiana University, and Lake Erie College. In 1915, as pastor of the former Madison Avenue Methodist Church—now Christ Church—in New York, Dr. Tippy chose young Ralph W. Sockman as his student assistant. He was succeeded by Dr. Sockman in 1917.
Dr. Tippy returned to DePauw in 1951 to organize and develop the archives both of the university and of Indiana Methodism, and served as director of both. He was the author of many books and articles on Methodism, a biography of a founder of DePauw University, and two volumes of poetry.
He died in Laurel, Missouri on October 2, 1961 and is buried in Vevay, Indiana.lihat lebih sedikit
