Sejarah Biografi
Orrie Orland Arnold (1884-1959) was a minister and editor who also had a long, prolific speaking and writing career.
On July 24th, 1884 he was born in Darke County, Ohio, but his family soon moved to Oregon. There he received his call to ministry, and was licensed by the Oregon Conference of the United Brethren Church in 1906. In 1909, he was received into the Ohio Miami Conference, in which he served several pastorates, remaining in Ohio for the rest of his life.
From 1917 through 1957, in addition to his pastoral duties, Arnold wrote for Sunday school publications. In 1941, he became an associate editor of his denomination's Sunday school press, and was subsequently elected editor of the Evangelical United Brethren Sunday school publications at the time of church union in November 1946. He retired from this position on December 31, 1958, only a few days before his death.
Arnold also served his denomination as chairman of the Rural Life Commission, a member of the General Board of Christian Education, the Commission on Christian Social Action, the Inter-Board Education Committee, and the General Board of Evangelism. He was active interdenominationally as a member of the Committee on Adult Work, the Committee on Administration and Leadership, the Committee on Uniform Lessons, and the Committee on the National Christian Teaching Mission of the National Council of Churches.
He participated in community organizations, helped to organize the Community Chest in Germantown, Ohio, and also was an active member of the Rotary Clubs in Germantown and Greenville. He was thrilled when the Germantown Press named him Father of the Year in 1956.
Arnold married his wife, Bessie, in 1911. They had three sons and three daughters. Arnold died on January 2, 1959.
