| Mark A. Shibley | "A fourth subculture within American evangelicalism started as a countermovement that broke with fundamentalism in the 1940s. Calling themselves neo-evangelicals, they affirmed the basic tenets of conservative Protestant belief but rejected the extreme anti-intellectual and sectarian tendencies of fundamentalism. Whereas their conservative Protestant forebears rejected the values of the wider society, the new evangelicals sought to reengage the outside world. They did so by creating a subculture separate from fundamentalism and closer to the world. Wheaton College, Fuller Seminary, the National Association of Evangelicals, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and World Vision International were part of a new organizational infrastructure for the neo-evangelical movement, and Billy Graham was the movement's most prominent leader. Like the charismatic renewal, the neo-evangelical movement cut across denominational boundaries, and by the 1970s, neo-evangelical institutions had redefined the cultural center of American evangelicalism, moving it away from fundamentalism" | Contemporary Evangelicals.

| Christopher A. Bartlett, Daniel F. Curran | Largely driven by the senior leaders of World Vision International, the initiative was an ambitious attempt to implement common goals and strategies in fund-raising, programming, and advocacy across the 48 independent members of the World Vision Partnership. [...] The 14 fully interdependent offices were nationally registered nonprofit organizations with their own local boards of directors. Except for certain items specified in the Covenant of Partnership, they did not need WVI approval for decisions. Nonetheless, they were expected voluntarily to coordinate with the partnership office. (Branch and intermediate offices were considered to be in transition toward full interdependence. The process involved peer reviews, WVI consultation, and interaction with the international board.)

| Erica Bornstein | "The cases educe how evangelical narratives of child sponsorship simultaneously transcend difference and exacerbate it—producing unintended consequences for both sponsors and their children." (S. 595), "In this article, I explore relationships of child sponsorship that form the core of World Vision's evangelical theology" (S. 596), "Discourses of evangelism build relationships of child sponsorship within World Vision, transmogrifying money in the form of monthly remittances— a generic and impersonal standard of value—into embodied human relationships with alive, unpredictable, and spontaneous others." (S. 597) "Within World Vision, there is a theological link between child sponsorship, Christian evangelism, and institutional origin." (S. 604) "World Vision's evangelical philosophy and stories of its early years historically contexualize the contemporary work of WV Zimbabwe and point to the salient relationships—between donors and recipients of humanitarian aid—that form the philosophical core of World Vision's economic development work today" (S.605) "If child sponsorship programs are propelled theologically by an evangelical desire to link people to Christ in a body of faith, it is not only the donors and recipients who participate. World Vision staff in their employment applications were required to sign a "statement of faith" acknowledging they accept Jesus Christ as their savior (are "born again"). It was the consensus at WV International that staff at the support and field ends of child sponsorship "are Christian and are working because of the Christian motivation." At the community level, the children participating do not have to be Christian, although their parents have to consent to their involvement in World Vision community activities. In a March 24, 1997 interview with me, the sponsor relations manager for WV Zimbabwe explained that at the field level, "we try to show Christ, the love of Christ in the work that we do." He continued to add that it was their "hope that even children that are sponsored . . . will begin to appreciate that Christ loves them. That's why these people are coming to assist them. And they are important in the eyes of God, and that way maybe it can instill in them a sense of wanting to know more about God, as children." (S. 605f) "The structure of evangelical theology, fuelled by personal relationships modeled after those between believers and Jesus Christ, are the narrative undercurrent for child sponsorship in World Vision."

| Karen Foreman | "Although membership in the World Vision partnership is determined by wholehearted commitment to its core partnership documents,WVI maintains three different levels of central control over its partner members. At the highest level of central control, a World Vision partner may be a WVI branch office with a national advisory committee. This national office, registered in the host country as a branch of WVI, eventually seeks to become a nationally registered nonprofit organization. WVI maintains legal responsibility and strong management control over the organization’s budgetary and personnel decisions. The next stage of development is the intermediate stage national office. Here, the national office has a board of directors registered and recognized by the host government. However, this national board has voluntarily agreed to seek approval from WVI for critical management decisions such as appointment or termination of the national director, appointment of national board members, budgets, and off-budget expenditures. Finally, the fully interdependent national office has the least central control from WVI. Also a nationally registered nonprofit organization, the fully interdependent national office has a consultative relationship withWVI and is expected to voluntarily coordinate with WVI to ensure “an environment of twin citizenship.” At this stage, the national office does not need WVI approval for critical management, except for those items required under the Covenant of Partnership. Under its current global structure, WVI partners have equivalent governance roles through their participation in the council and in the Regional Forums, regardless of resource contribution. However, the control level varies in the functional relationship between the national office and the central WVI organization. A WVI board policy (WVI, 1998) on national boards and advisory councils describes the national office development process including peer reviews, consultation with WVI staff, and interaction with international board members. WVI has sought to clearly delineate the rights and responsibilities of the national boards and advisory councils at every stage of
development." (S. 185f) "Finding mechanisms to increase ownership of the mission at the national level is consistent with the Christian roots of HFHI and WVI. The partnership documents (WVI’s Covenant of Partnership and HFHI’s National Covenant) reinforce the importance of Christian philosophy to both organizations’ missions. In a similar spirit to evangelism, bringing new national members into the global partnership could be seen as converts to the beliefs of the movement. The Christian rhetoric of both organizations is filled with references to the ideology of partnership at all levels and being “equal before God.”" (S. 188) |

| Gerard Clarke | "Take the case of missionary organisations, or those for which proselytising is a key objective. Evangelical organisations in the case of Christianity or Wahabi or Salafi-inspired organisations in the case of Islam, are associated with a fervent form of missionary zeal, an active campaign to win converts to the faith. World Vision International, for instance, seeks converts to the faith among non-evangelical Christians and people of other faiths; in some countries, field staff must sign a ‘statement of faith’ and evangelism committees are set up at project sites (Bornstein, 2002). Such evangelism nevertheless produces positive development outcomes such as the empowerment of women trained to speak and preach publicly (ibid). WVI attracts significant USAID funding but aspects of its ethos, including its overt proselytising and its emphasis on abstinence and faithfulness (at the expense of condom use) in the fight against HIV/AIDS are problematic for some European donors. Yet, such donors risk failing to capitalise on the potential ofWVI and other evangelical and Pentecostal organisations in important areas of development policy such as gender empowerment and democratic accountability." | Faith matters.

| Erica Bornstein | "The new evangelicals founded World Vision International as “an organization dedicated to childcare, social ministry and medical ministries in Asia"... When Carl Henry organized a commission for evangelical social action in the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) and called for the application of Christianity to every aspect of life including the social, World Vision was one example of this philosophy in practice. Fuller Seminary was initially founded because Charles Fuller decided to establish a “College of Missions and Evangelism” rather than a seminary. Ties between Fuller’s mission school and World Vision, the mission organization, ran deep. In 1954, one of World Visions board members was Carlton Booth, Professor of Evangelism at Fuller Seminary (Gehman 1960). In 1966, the Missions Advance Research and Communications Center (MARC) began at World Vision in association with Fuller, as the research and publishing arm of World Vision. Fuller’s School of World Mission trained World Vision staff, and World Vision staff taught, and continue to teach today, at Fuller Seminary. There was such cross-fertilization between Fuller and World Vision that a World Vision employee said in a 1994 interview, “The idea of World Vision was started in conversations in the basement of Fuller Theological Seminary." | The Spirit of Development.

| Erica Bornstein | "In 1978, an umbrella governing body known as World Vision International was created to include an international board of directors, a larger international advisory council, and a corporate headquarters. The current governing board includes members from both support (financially contributing), and recipient countries. Each of the national support offices (there were 60 at the time of this research) is incorporated as an independent nonprofit organization under the laws of its respective country, while the net-work as a whole constitutes World Vision International. As a network, World Vision International crosses national boundaries. It is a global, supra-national organization. The purpose of World Vision, as described in its annual reports, is to provide emergency relief, economic development, and evangelistic activities ... The statement continues to list the ways in which the mission is carried out, namely through “transformational development,” “emergency relief,” “promotion of justice,” “strategic initiatives,” “public awareness” and “witness to Jesus Christ.” The evangelistic perspective is perhaps most overtly depicted in World Visions publicity materials." | The Spirit of Development.

Pierce resigned in 1967 over objections to his management style. He later founded SAMARITAN’S PURSE, an organization with goals similar to World Vision. During that period, World Vision leaders were also considering ways they could help the burgeoning Evangelical missionary endeavor. Under the leadership of Ted Engstrom and Ed Dayton, the Missions Advanced Research and Communications Center (MARC) was opened... In 1995, World Vision, today the largest Christian relief agency in the world, moved its headquarters to suburban Seattle, Washington. One of
the most respected of mission agencies, it continues both its relief and development programs and its cutting-edge research on the missionary enterprise..." |

| Laura C. Thaut | "World Vision reflects more closely the Evangelistic-Humanitarianism... the agency’s Christian roots explicitly inspire its mission... World Vision’s focus on “transformational development” clearly recognizes an element of spiritual transformation in which God is essential to successful relief and development. The agency’s policy clearly disavows proselytism, but the freedom of aid workers to share their faith when asked the reason for their work blurs the line and depends on aid workers to appropriately understand the distinction between explicit evangelism and merely responding to questions about their faith... the agency’s programs “employ processes and actions that…invite a restored relationship with God.” It is unclear how this goal is translated in aid work and how it is distinguished from evangelism... Christ is at the center of World Vision’s transformation focus... “Christian witness” is clearly one of the agency’s goals... In ... the working culture of World Vision ... Christian faith is incorporated in prayer and devotional sessions and shapes not only how staff in the offices relate to one another and interpret their mission, but the strength or evidence of their faith is also part of their work performance evaluation." | The Role of Faith in Christian Faith-Based Humanitarian Agencies.

What kinds of institutional structures create and sustain these cross-cutting social networks? Consider the example of World Vision, one of the movement’s largest nonprofit organizations... World Vision’s board meetings, like those of other evangelical institutions, provided opportunities for evangelical public leaders to interact, develop friendships, and collaborate on projects. Indeed, leaders from the evangelical community, the corporate world, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Department of State have all been involved with World Vision." |

But it is not principally by social class or shared backgrounds: It is by faith. If American evangelicalism leads to any overlap of people and institutions in the country’s elite, it is through parachurch organizations. If evangelical public leaders from different segments of society work together, it is usually in this context as board members at World Vision or as trustees of Fuller Seminary. This, of course, creates special bonds among powerful people, which, no doubt, play a role in their professional lives. But it is through religious institutions, not corporate or professional bodies, that these elites most often overlap today." | Faith in the halls of power.

| Alan Whaites | maintain. Unlike other Christian development agencies, WV-UK never had a policy of employing only evangelicals, embracing a broad range of Christian opinions ... Behind this rapid progress was occasionally intense divergence as the European WVs sought to press on the wider partnershipt heir wish for WV to be more in the EuropeanN GO mould. This expansion had brought in development professionals schooled in the ideological basis of both methodology and ethics prevalent in Europe. It had also introduced a sudden injection of staff from the more political churches, including those adhering to the long tradition of left-of-centreC hristianityW. orld Vision's own reportsp oint to instances of dramaticc onflict as the new mix of cultural and ideological perspectives found some form of balance. The partnership'sc ontinued cohesion was perhapsm ade more tenable by the ongoing drift of WV-US, the largest fundraising entity, towards the Christian mainstream and away from a narrow evangelical position. ... WV's policy positions on Palestinian human rights drew fierce opposition from extreme US evangelicals, who consider a strong Israeli state to be a fulfilment of biblical prophecy. Closer links with mainstream institutions such as the World Council of Churches, including occasional partnership on advocacy, reflected the development of operational programmes based on ecumenical partnerships with local churches ... It is clear that WV's evangelical position is no longer so homogeneous. Internationally, it has become diverse and complex, and moved substantially toward a more politically engaged evangelical approach. | Alan Whaites: Pursuing partnership: World Vision and the ideology of development – a case study.

| Alan Whaites | By the close of the 1980s ... The vast majority of WV staff were still Christian and all key documents still expressed a commitment to Christian values, ... Three documents were drafted to provide an agreed basis of identity, purpose, and inter-office relationships-Core Values, Mission Statement, and a Covenant of Partnership-to be agreed through a process involving all 40 national Boards. ... a ChristianW itness Commission was formed with staff from Northern and Southern offices which eventually produced a new 'Christian Witness Policy' espousing a more introspective and culturally-sensitive desire to demonstrate and articulate Christian concern.'7 The Commission also confirmed WV's existing ban on the use of aid for proselytism (i.e. making the receipt of aid conditional on religious conversion by using coercion or inducements) | Alan Whaites: Pursuing partnership: World Vision and the ideology of development – a case study.

| Alan Whaites | Conclusion: As WV has sought to learn from its pre-1978 history, it might be argued that the original philosophy of evangelicalism has been replaced with an ideology of partnership ... For most of those within WV, then, it is probably fair to say that the rise of the ideology of partnership is viewed as a natural out-growth of a Christian ethos rather than as a replacement for the NGO's early evangelical ideology. The Christian basis of WV has itself clearly changed as the partnership has sought to embrace a broader view of the Christian community. Despite this, WV has avoided the route
followed by other Christian NGOs of largely secularising its professional staffing and structures. ... the new organisational philosophies of broad Christian values and pursuit of the ideal of partnership sit neatly together. The former may lack the energy of the early evangelical zealots, an energy which was crucial to early growth and unity, but this is compensated by the impetus provided by the latter. In translating its Christian values into an organisational structure-partnership-WV has given itself a new cause. |
