Also, Shaull's career roughly pa...

While today the mission and ministry of the Presbyterian Church and all of mainline Protestantism is in a time of reformation and deep change, it is vital to remember this heritage of world mission.

Ao completar os cem anos de existência em 12 de agosto de 1959, o Supremo Concílio da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil criou o Seminário Teológico Presbiteriano do Centenário – SPC, para atender a região de Minas e Espírito Santo, que precisava de ser evangelizada e ensinada. O SPC se instalou definitivamente em Vitória, ES. A IPB, na década de 1960, viveu momentos de crescimento e celebração, mas também de influências externas de ideologias liberais e comunismo. No SPC, alunos e professores mancomunados cumpriam deveres de ensino e aprendizagem tendo como espinho dorsal da vida cristã as Sagradas Escrituras e uma Teologia Reformada que eram transmitidas às igrejas locais.
