Jerry Allen Moon collected these materials for the purpose of writing his dissertation towards a Ph.D. in religion, completed in 1993 at the Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. The dissertation is entitled “William Clarence (W.C.) White: His Relationship to Ellen G. White and Her Work.”
W. C. White was the third son of James and Ellen White, co-founders of the Seventhday Adventist church. Adventist believe Ellen White received the spiritual gift of prophecy and that her writings “are a continuing and authoritative source of truth.” Ellen wrote prodigiously, providing the church and its leaders with counsel on a wide range of issues.
After the death of his father in 1881 WCW took a prominent role as his mother’s assistant. He often accompanied her on travels in the United States and overseas—Europe and Australasia. He became an editorial assistant and the publishing manager. Throughout his life he was closely associated with all aspects of the development of the Seventh-day Adventist church, and its leaders. He also dealt with a wide range of issues related to his mother’s ministry and writings.
