THEY HAD A VISION:
Methodist clergy and laity conferenced in Livingston on March 10, 1923 to plan for a summer institute near Yellowstone Park. The next day, they moved to Pine Creek and left the gravel Livingston-Gardner highway to ascend an old logging trail to a mountain meadow with about 2-3 feet of snow. This, they brashly proclaimed, would become a summer institute designed to transform disciples into Christian leaders for not just the church but for the state, nation, and the world.
