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.

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.

Randomly-chosen Program From This Collection:

Description: William Moses Kunstler (1919-1995) was an American radical lawyer and civil rights activist, known for his politically unpopular clients. At the time of this program, he had represented H. Rap Brown, Jerry Rubin, Daniel Berrigan, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Kunstler felt he was representing not only clients, but also the First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution. He also felt he was living in an era of great dissent, and that he was representing clients in a time of increasing oppression. One of the callers in this program was Jack B.Olson, the Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin. There is an extensive discussion of the concept of jury nullification. Kunstler graduated from Yale University, saw World War II army service in the Pacific and was awarded a Bronze Star, and graduated from Columbia University School of Law in 1948.
