	Otterbein College's History
		Otterbein College was founded (as the Otterbein University of Ohio) in 1847 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and named after a co-founder of the Church, Philip William Otterbein, who was a German Reformed pastor and itinerant evangelist.
		Otterbein was among the first coeducational colleges in America, and probably the first college in the United States to be founded as coeducational and to admit women to the same programs of study as male students.
		Otterbein was also one of the first three colleges in the United States to be open to students of color, and College historians have argued that it deserves to be considered the first to be founded with that philosophy.

	Methodists United for Peace with Justice
		Otterbein wrote that "these great events are at the door," and "the prophecies will be fulfilled, and they are being fulfilled from day to day, and you may live to see great things." Their hope was for a Kingdom of peace, devoid of warfare, which the 1849 resolution reflected.
		Otterbein had also noted that this new order cannot break into history until "the seven vials of the wrath of God will be poured out" (an allusion to Revelation 14:19-15:1).
		It is for this reason that many present-day heirs of Otterbein and Albright would prayerfully support the actions of democratic societies that rightly seek to replace regimes and movements which terrorize and dehumanize humanity with those committed to norms of peace and justice.
