Subseries 2A: Fellowship of Socialist Christians (FSC), circa 1930 -- 1951

This subseries contains correspondence from the organization, as well as some administrative documents such as minutes and reports, and several files on the Frontier Fellowship (which seems to have been either a later incarnation of the FSC, or an offshoot). These FSC materials were not directly produced by Handy; the FSC files were passed on to the Christian Action administration and to Handy as Secretary of Christian Action.

This series contains correspondence and administrative materials of organizations that Handy was involved in: the Fellowship of Socialist Christians (FSC) and Christian Action (CA). One of the outside interests of the UTS faculty was the Fellowship of Socialist Christians (FSC), the brainchild of Handy's UTS colleague Reinhold Niebuhr, who formed the organization in the early 1930's. The FSC would later evolve into Christian Action, with Robert Handy serving as Secretary.
