Clarence Orohrelle Dodd (February 5, 1899 – December 25, 1955[1]), often known as Clarence Orvil Dodd and C. O. Dodd, was an American author and magazine editor and an elder of a particular Church of God (Seventh Day) denomination church in Salem, West Virginia, in the early 20th century.[2]

In 1920 he married Martha I. Richmond,[3] whom he predeceased. They had five children, four boys (Clebert, Robert, William, and Paul) and one daughter, Mary, now Mary Dodd Ling.[1]

He worked as a clerk for 35 years for Hope Natural Gas Company (now absorbed into ExxonMobil) while writing, editing and publishing his magazine, and serving his church, until he retired early due to Hodgkins' disease. Two years subsequent to his retirement he died.[1]

Influence

In 1937 Dodd founded The Faith magazine, where he served as editor for many years. Initially the primary focus of The Faith was advocating for observation of Jewish holy festivals on the part of its Christian readers but in the early 1940s Dodd took up the sacred name cause as well.[4] In The Encyclopedia of American Religions scholar of American religions J. Gordon Melton wrote of the magazine, "No single force in spreading the Sacred Name movement was as important as The Faith magazine."[5]

Andrew N. Dugger (November 19, 1886 – November 2, 1975), fellow church Elder of Dodd's and one-time editor of the long-running Adventist magazine Bible Advocate,[6] co-authored a book with Dodd valued in many parts of the Adventist community, A History of the True Church. Having worked so closely together over so many years they undoubtedly influenced one another. Melton says that Dugger accepted the same basic theology as Dodd.[5] One writer considers Dugger to be the most famous Church of God (Adventist) leader in the 20th century.[7]

Mildred Kelvig, conocida de toda la vida y que durante muchos años fue su secretaria personal, afirmó que la relación de Dodd con Herbert W. Armstrong, fundador de la Iglesia Mundial de Dios, influyó en las opiniones de este último. Especificó que Dodd convenció a Armstrong de las afirmaciones de Greenberry G. Rupert (12 de mayo de 1848 - 17 de julio de 1922, autor de El peligro amarillo ) de que la observancia de las festividades hebreas es obligatoria para un cristiano. [ 8 ]
