Basic History
This organization produces 30 Good Minutes, a television program dealing with
issues of spirituality, faith and religion.
The name of this group dates back to 1908, when
its founders were looking for something to call the weekly ecumenical service
they sponsored in Chicago's Orchestra Hall. It was in Chicago, it was on a
Sunday Evening and they didn't want it to sound too "churchy," so they
called it a Club. There were no memberships or dues, so everyone could be
included.
Today, the Chicago Sunday Evening Club is
America's premiere television broadcast for great preaching. Each program
features a different speaker, drawn from a wide spectrum of denominations and
faith traditions. Over 1,000 speakers have appeared on the program since those
earliest gatherings at the beginning of the century. 30 Good Minutes is seen on
Chicago's WTTW/Channel 11.
Basic Beliefs
The Mission of the Chicago Sunday Evening Club is to positively influence
people's spiritual, moral and religious lives through television and through
other media. It strives to maintain its historic Christian faith in dialogue
with and openness to other faith traditions, cooperates in ministry with like
minded organizations, encourages spirituality in the business and professional
community and maintains a strong financial base through careful stewardship.
