Butner - Seventeen pasto rfrom nine North Carolinaties recently beg a n clinicalcourses at John Umstead Hos-pital, Butner. The courses pro-vide opportunity for pastors togain, on a part-time basis, ba-sic clinical training directly ap-plicable to their ministry in thecommunity. Among those parti-cipating in the 12-weekprogramis Rev. Fred A. Mauney, pas-tor of First Baptist Church,Thirteen pastors are -

ing one day a week andare spending two and onedays learning to more' readilyidentify the needs of the men-tally ill and to recognize anddeal with expressions of normalstress, giving pastoral supportwhere it is needed.According to Chaplain W. F.

Askins, director of the pro-gram, John Umstead Hospital,with its 1100 patients, provid-es a vantage point for the studyof pastoral care, both in acquir-ing sensitization to multiplehuman concerns, and in learn-ing an interdisciplinary ap-proach to offering help. Thecourses emphasize "hearingout" the person and offer i n gvital understanding, regardlessof the symptoms manifested.The teaching resources of the

hospital staff and other relatedspecialists are utilized to givethe pastors an acquaintancewith cur r e n t approaches to

The Elizabeth Baptist Church was organized in 1883. Becauseof a gift of three acres of land from her, and her ~nterest inthe new church, the church was named in honor of E11zabeth LoveWilson.

The first building was erected in 1884. Growth and progressled to the completion of a new bUilding in 1910 which replacedthe original one room structure. A third structure was completedin 1940. In December of 1954 a fire completely destroyed thebuilding. In 1957 the first phase of the present edifice wascompleted. Then, in 1969, the present facilities were completedwith an additional educational building. Estimated value of thephysical plant is a million dollars.

286.1756775M44 THE SAINTS AT ELIZABETH: THEIR FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

BY: Fred A. Mauney

FRED A. MAUNEY1972 -

Rev. Fred A. Mauney, Pastor at the time of this writing, has the dis-tinction of having the longest pastorate in the history of Elizabeth Church..This undershepherd is firmly grounded in the Christian faith and has a strongline of communication with the Great Shepherd. This is evidenced in hisstrong leadership which has proven to be filled with intelligence and wisdom.He has the uncanny ability to "read" his congregation and the sensitivity tofeel their needs and desires. Strong willed, but willing to try new ideas thispastor expects a great deal of his people and has enough faith in them toknow they will come through.

Born on October 14, 1922 to Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Mauney, Sr., PastorMauney chose Wingate College to begin his formal education and continuedit at Furman University. While a student at Furman he pastored threechurches (Eureka, Salem and Welcome) and in 1943 was ordained as a minis-ter of the Gospel by his home church, Thrift Baptist which is located in thePaw Creek area of Mecklenburg County. In 1944 he received his degreefrom Furman University, and he married Martha Nantz. The following threeyears were spent studying hard at Southwestern Baptist Seminary, FortWorth, Texas, and pastoring three churches (Purley, Mt. Zion, Klondike).

Since graduating from Southwestern Pastor Mauney has served fivechurches (First Baptist, Stanley; First Baptist, Valdese; Florence, ForestCity; First Baptist, New Bern; Elizabeth Baptist, Shelby), and each has morethan doubled its mission giving during his pastorate. He led in the construetion of an educational building at Florence Baptist, an educational buildingand parsonage at New Bern, and at Elizabeth has seen the fruition of a five

year .,program which included the construction of the Life Enrichment.. Center.

I Timothy 4: 14a admonishes "Neglect not the gift that is in the. "pastor Mauney has not neglected his gifts, and as he has shared the fruitsof his abilities over the years God has blessed his service and continues toadd new dimensions to his life.

- Martha Madden

A TRIBUTE TO THE PASTORS' WIVES

The nineteen pastors who have served the Elizabethians well over thepast one hundred years could not have done it minus their wives. As Godcalls the pastor he provides for him a called and committed wife. She maystand in the shadow, but every pastor knows she is there! And, though hemay not often express it, he is deeply grateful that she is.

Unsung, and often unappreciated, the spouse in the parsonage goes.bout her ministry as surely as does the pastor. She listens as a counselor.Her position may, at times, feel like a single parent whose partner has de-serted her for another. Carefully she imparts constructive criticism and ren-ders strong support to her husband-pastor. She weeps when he weeps, andtogether they rejoice. Day after day and night after night she shares herhusband unselfishly with committees and unexpected crises. Deep within,she may feel the neglect and recoil at the price she is paying. Yet, like herhusband, she has long ago decided t hat it wasn't her will but God's that hadto be done.

As we remember the pastors and their faithful years of fruitful service,let us not forget their wives.

To each wife giving her husband to the high calling of God, when shemay have needed him, we express our deepest gratitude and pay to you adeserving tribute in poetic lines borrowed from an unknown author.
