Pastoral Bible Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pastoral Bible Institute was the publishing arm of the Bible Student movement, a Christian denomination following Millerite Adventist notions guided by principles expounded by "Pastor" Charles Taze Russell. It was created when a number of prominent brethren withdrew their support from the Watchtower Society after Judge Rutherford became the president of the Society, following the death of Pastor Russell. The first Bible Student Convention held independent of the Watchtower Society took place on July 26-29, 1918, in Asbury Park, New Jersey. In November, a few months later, two to three hundred people attended the second convention in Providence, Rhode Island. It was at this meeting that the Pastoral Bible Institute (PBI) was formed to resume Pastor Russell’s pastoral work independent of the Society.

December 1918 saw the first issue of The Herald of Christ’s Kingdom; it was edited by R. E. Streeter until his death in December 1924. Today the Pastoral Bible Institute continues to work with the Dawn Bible Students Association on the magazine and together over closely unites the Bible Students on the whole world Christian literature to the order to place.
