Alec (Bruce Graduate School of Boston University, in the department of Philosophy. He was awarded a Masters of Arts degree in 1944 and continued his studies in the Doctoral program, receiving his Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1946. He also did minor study in Psychology. As he entered his last year at the University, he was awarded the Borden Parker Bowne Fellowship, the highest award granted by the Department of Philosophy. During the final two years of his graduate program, he also taught a course in American Philosophy and Religion in the College Division. Warren was called to pastor two rural churches at Sutton Massachusetts, where he served until the fall of 1946. It was at the First Baptist Church of Sutton that he was ordained on March 23, 1944. In 1946, Warren was invited to join the faculty of Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Chicago. During his early years of teaching, he completed a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1948. He remained at ee Northern for his 35 year teaching career, retiring in 1979, with the titles of Warren, Alda, Judy, Lynn and Karen Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology and Distinguished Professor Emeritus. During these years he also served in various capacities, including Dean of the Faculty, Registrar and Departmental Head. Since the City of Chicago was growing rapidly, a move to a more secure and suburban area was inevitable. During the time the Seminary was searching for a new location, Warren and Alda arranged to have a new home built in Wheaton lllinois, 30 miles west of Chicago. In 1955 the move was made and Alda commenced her teaching career in the Wheaton School system. During 1960-61, he was granted a full year of sabbatical leave. For this year, the family moved to Heidleberg in West Germany, where he studied at the University of Heidleberg. He also studied at the University of Bas! in Switzerland, for the seminar for English speaking students, taught by the renowned theologian, Dr. Karl Barth. Alda took a leave of absence in order to go with Warren and the children to Germany for the year. They wished for the children to learn a second language, so they were enrolled into the German Gymnasium school program. She found a position teaching the first grade in the American Army Dependent's School System which enabled the family to benefit from the use of the American Commissary, the American PX, the Officer's Club and vacation areas. Following their return from Germany, they arranged to have two German exchange students live with them on two separate occasions. This enabled the family to retain the German language. After their return from the sabbatical year, Alda returned to teaching in the Wheaton School District. She had completed her Master's degree in Education in 1959. Later her interest turned to the library-media field and she returned to graduate school and obtained a second Master's degree in Library Science. While teaching, Alda established in her school the first elementary school centralized library in the district. Following this venture's success, the school superintendent asked to leave the teaching field and develop a program for providing centralized libraries in the other 17 elementary schools. Once these goals were achieved, she was made Director of Libraries and Assistant Curriculum Director for the 22 schools in the district, which included middle and high schools. She also established a “School-Community Resource Centre", a consolidated textbook centre and a centralized library-media processing centre. Alda served in many capacities in the library media world, including president of the Illinois Association of Media in Education, Board Member of the Illinois Library Association and Chairman of the Legislative Committee. She was successful in writing a Federally funded proposal that provided the school district with over a quarter of a million dollars for the establishment of a resource centre where local residents could make use of district owned media along with the teaching necessary for its use. She was also responsible for her district receiving one of three Encyclopedia Britannica awards for the best library programs in the country. The district was likewise awarded for the State of Illinois. For Warren, teaching also involved writing. Numerous articles, reviews and critiques were printed in professional journals. A longer work was the 1946 dissertation on John Dewey and his influence in religious education. In 1954, A Christian Approach to Philosophy was published and used as a textbook in many colleges for almost 40 years. A Spanish edition followed in 1960 for use in Latin America. In 1988 the book Commit What You Have Heard was published. This is the 75th. anniversary history of the Northern Baptist seminary. Presently he is completing the writing of the history of the American Baptist Church of the Beatitudes of St. Petersburg Florida, to be published in 1999. Warren retired in 1979 and Alda took early retirement in 1980. A change of location took place when in 1986 they purchased a condominium in a suburb of St. Petersburg. At the same time, they purchased a mobile home on the conference grounds of the American Baptist Assembly in Green Lake Wisconsin.
