Oral history interview with Mike Rose conducted by Lauren Helmer in Salina, Kansas, on December 31, 2010. In this interview, Mike Rose, pastor of the University United Methodist Church in Salina, describes his experiences growing up Methodist, marrying a Catholic, attending an Episcopal Church, and then answering a call to become a United Methodist minister. He discusses the history of the Methodist Church, including the philosophy of John Wesley, the introduction of Methodism to the United States and then to Kansas, and the role of Methodists in the abolition and temperance movements. He also discusses the development of two branches of the Methodist Church which emerged when the Evangelical United Brethren merged with Methodists to become United Methodists in the late 1960s. He also describes his roles and responsibilities as pastor, his church's outreach within the Hispanic community in Salina, and the history of the University United Methodist Church building and parsonage. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas course taught at the University of Kansas by Dr. Timothy Miller in the fall of 2010.
