Eric B. Hare is well known for his stories from his missionary work in Burma from 1915 to 1934, and he served in the Sabbath School Department at the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists from 1946 to 1962.
In 1919, at the division meeting in Ranchi, India, Eric Hare was ordained to the gospel ministry. Taking part in the service was Pastor J. E. Fulton, still president of the Southern Asia Division.20 Their continuing service saw Pastor and Mrs. Hare using the training they had received at the Sydney Sanitarium. Along with Harold and Dorothy Baird, they established a number of dispensaries serving the Karen people.
Four more children were born into the Hare family while they were in Burma: Eileen Nita (later Mrs. Ivan Higgins), Leonard, Verna Mae, and Peter.22 Eric and Agnes Hare and their children continued their outreach to the Karen until 1934, when, after more than 18 years on the banks of the Salween River, they were invited to relocate to the Northern California Conference in the United States of America, where Hare was appointed as the Missionary Volunteer and Sabbath School secretary.23 The transfer provided a much-needed opportunity for their youngest daughter, Verna Mae, to receive assistance for her severe hearing deficiency.24 They departed from Burma on April 12, 1934,25 leaving behind an established church with a membership of 122 and eight Sabbath Schools with a membership of 340.26
After some years in San Francisco, Eric was appointed as the Sabbath School secretary of the Southern California Conference in Glendale, California,27 a position he held for a short time before accepting an invitation to return to Burma in 1941.28 Eric and Agnes Hare continued their pioneering work for the Karen people, this time in Rangoon, until the Japanese bombing in 1942 forced their evacuation. Eric recounted the miraculous story of their evacuation from Burma. Having been evacuated to India by steamer from Burma, Agnes and the children waited there for Eric’s evacuation. During this time Eric Hare and some of his fellow workers made a hazardous journey to safety overland, and after many dangers and miraculous escapes he was eventually able to rejoin his wife and children, and the family returned to America.
Back in America, Eric Hare was once again called to head the Youth Department of the Southern California Conference, and then the Sabbath School Department at the Pacific Union Conference, until in 1946, at the General Conference session, when he was called to serve as an associate secretary of the Sabbath School Department at the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Shortly after Eric took this appointment, Eileen, their eldest daughter, died in a road accident at Van Horne, Texas. She; her husband, Ivan Higgins; and their two daughters were on furlough from their appointment in India when the accident occurred.
While holding his responsibilities at the General Conference, Hare gave specific attention to the role of the Sabbath School in child development and spirituality. His work was a forerunner of the Children’s Ministries Department. His work was well received, as illustrated by an extensive visit to the Australasian Union Conference territories, arriving in August 1951. Eric Hare continued his work at the General Conference until his retirement in 1962. Eric Hare’s life came to an end in Washington, D.C., on June 1, 1982. Agnes lived on for nearly a year until April 25, 1983, when she died in Berrien Springs, Michigan.
