Voices of Faith at Work in the World

About this Collection

The historical religion programs in this collection came from the archives, library shelves, and back rooms of many organizations. Faith groups represented include African Methodist Episcopal, Baptist, Episcopal, Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Presbyterian, Quaker, Roman Catholic, Salvation Army, United Church of Christ, United Methodist, and others. The majority, 1,031 recordings, are from United Methodist national agencies, annual conferences, seminaries, and other sources.

This SoundTheology online archive is an independent service of Audio-Rescue.com, provided in conjunction with the United Methodist General Commission on Archives and History (GCAH). Many of these programs would have been lost forever if not saved in this project. The originating institutions have made the recordings available for public access to further private study, scholarship, and research. They retain the rights to the recordings.
 

This audio collection has been chosen for inclusion in the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force Sound Collection Database.
