problems funding campus ministries. Duffie spent much of
his time on the road raising money for campus ministries
throughout the state of South Carolina.
As a result, the Sunday worship services at the Wesleyan
Foundation were cancelled. During this time, Duffie and
Lutheran Chaplain Robert Dasher occasionally held services
together in Rutledge Chapel, Duffie said.
Meanwhile, the Episcopalians, who were at the bottom of
the hill on Pickens Street where the Marantha Student Center
is today, were thinking of moving closer to campus.
Duffie and the chaDlain of the Episcopal Center in the
1970's, Dennis Smith, planned programs and services
together for their groups, David Stewart, Episcopal Chaplain
at ELM said.
"The Episcopals gradually stopped using the building at
the bottom of the hill," Stewart said.
The Episcopals moved into the Methodist building in 1974,
Duffiesaid.
The Lutheran Center occupied a home on the corner of
Pendleton and Pickens where the Pendleton Street Garage is

mornings, Duffie said. "We eventually decided to do things
together."
In 1980, the actual agreement was signed and the ELM
Board was formalized. In 1981, the ELM was chartered with
the university, according to the chaplains.
All the chaplains agree the arrangement has worked well.
"It's the only reasonable way to do campus ministries,"
Stewart said.
"It's a model that ought to be used in more community
churches,'' Dasher said.
The Christian faith is larger than three demoninations. It's
important to let the campus know we are in unity in Christ.
That kind of unity can provide healing wherever there is
fragmentation." j
It also helns students look at their own traditions and I
analyze them in a way that's very healthy, Dasher said.
"Instead of detracting from the respective traditions, it
strengthens them."
"We have unity where denominational labels don't get in
the way," Duffie said.
"By being together, we are able to learn about each other's
religious traditions and find that being together encourages
people to explore religious traditions," Duffie said.
"We appreciate what is good about each other," Stewart
said. "It makes for a much more stimulating atmosphere."
