The year 2013 marks five full decades of service by the Creation Research Society. The 50-year golden anniversary is an appropriate time to reflect on the progress of this unique ministry. This article is not a comprehensive history of the Society, which would fill a large volume. Instead, the structure, governance, and developments of the Society over the years are described, along with some personal anecdotes. It is clear that the Creation Research Society has touched many lives directly and been an encouragement to countless others over five decades. All personal comments are the views of the authors rather than those of the Society or governing board.
