ICHTHYS House

ICHTHYS House is primarily supported by the resources of Clyde Johnson. Many individuals also support the House through their donations.

The House also receives financial support from Clear Creek Friends Meeting, First Friends Meeting, West Richmond Friends Meeting, and the Missions committee of Indiana Yearly Meeting.


May 28, 2008 -- The ICHTHYS House ministry is centered in the home of Clyde Johnson, 215 College Avenue, Richmond, IN 47374. We stress "centered" because wherever Clyde goes, the ministry goes. Clyde is a recorded minister of Indiana Yearly Meeting. The House continues its central ministry, the nightly quiet worship from 9:30 to 10 o'clock, which began in 1976, and is open to all. A major part of the ministry is listening -- to joys and sorrows and concerns; everyone needs a listening ear. Clyde continues to attend worship and activities on all three campuses, Earlham College, Earlham School of Religion, and Bethany Theological Seminary; he also continues to attend pastors' conferences and other retreat and continuing education events. He is a member of the Richmond Area Ministerial Association. Clyde also continues to keep in touch with a large number of people. We also have a new website: www.ichthyshouse.org. The House and its resources continue to be listed in the College and ESR publications. With immense gratitude to our Lord, in Jesus' love, Clyde Johnson. (ICHTHYS, the Greek word for fish, is the acronym of the Greek words for "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior." The fish has been a significant symbol of Christian faith, hospitality and safety ever since the early days of the Christian church."
