Personal Ephmera: contact lists, contact paper scraps, business cards, undated
Scope and contents
This collection documents the work of Major J. Jones, United Methodist Minister, theologian, and President of the Gammon Theological Seminary (Atlanta, Ga.) for the years 1969-1986. The bulk of the material is writings by Jones, including articles, conference papers, lectures and sermons; some materials are related to the administration of Gammon and its parent school, the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC).
There is also a large amount of material related to a litigation group that Jones was a part of in the early 1980s. A group of citizens in Atlanta united in a civil case after their property was damaged during nearby blasting. Jones served as a member of the Steering Committee of this group, and the collection contains correspondence, agenda, exhibits and other legal documents related to Jones' personal case as well as the group.
The collection also contains correspondence from friends, family and colleagues, much of it related to Jones' literary production; as well as records related to his work with the Clark College (Atlanta, Ga.) Board of Directors, the Gammon Theological Seminary and the United Methodist Church.
There is a small amount of printed articles from other authors, and a file of contact lists and business cards for Jones' colleagues.
