Some missing info on Ockenga[edit]

I think you may be missing some information about Ockenga that's interesting.

Harold Lindsell's book ("Park Street Prophet: A Life of Harold John Ockenga") is probably the best information for that.

1) He was the associate minister under Arcturus Z. Conrad (I believe) before he became the Senior minister in 1936 with Dr. Conrad going to be with the Lord. 2) Current senior minister of Park Street, Gordon Hugenberger, has some good sermons about Ockenga. (I'd be happy to go track those down.) 3) Conrad influenced Ockenga a lot to use the language of "Evangelical" 4) Hearing from older members of Park Street, I believe there was also a mid-week "Bible school" that Ockenga did as well.
