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.
Description: Ray McGovern delivers this sermon at the Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC. McGovern (1939- ) was a CIA analyst for 27 years (1963 to 1990), routinely presenting the morning intelligence briefings at the White House. His CIA career began under President John F. Kennedy, and lasted until the Presidency of George H. W. Bush. McGovern chaired National Intelligence Estimates and prepared the President's Daily Brief, and in the mid-1980s, was a senior analyst conducting early morning briefings one-on-one with the vice president, the secretaries of State and Defense, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and the assistant to the president for national security. At his retirement in 1990, McGovern received the CIA's Intelligence Commendation Medal. In 2006, McGovern returned the medal in protest at the CIA's involvement in torture.
