Description: Magazine "Orientation 1964", a Service of motive, the Magazine of the Methodist Student Movement. With Contributions by Ralph McGill, Paul Goodman, Edmund S. Morgan, and many others. Board of Education of the Methodist Church, July 1964. Softcover, illustrated, 48 pp. Cover slightly rubbed, otherwise in very good condition. Please see photos for details. motive (always spelled with a lowercase "m") was the official magazine for the Methodist Student Movement from its founding in 1941 and, for a few years at the end of its life, for the entire University Christian Movement (UCM). Much celebrated even at the time for its avantgarde editorial and artistic vision, in 1966 Time magazine said it stood out among church publications "like a miniskirt at a church social." It was the single runner-up to Life as Magazine of the Year in 1965. Ultimately, its strong stands on civil rights, Vietnam, and emerging gender issues became more than the Methodist Church officials could take. They withdrew funding and it ceased publication in 1972. An entire generation of religious activists were shaped by its vision. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Combined shipment and international bidders welcome.
