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.
Description: The first speaker is Rev. Dr. I. Carter Heyward. She is an Episcopal priest and professor of theology at Episcopal Divinity School in Massachusetts. The title of her presentation is "Stretching the Boundaries, Encouraging Christology". The second speaker is The Rev. Barbara Gerlach, now on the staff of First Congregational Church, UCC, Washington DC. She is also an artist and a writer. She is active in Colombian human rights work and teaches English to recent immigrants from Latin America. Her talk is called, "Telling the Truth, Telling our Stories thorugh Art, Dreams, and Imagination". This series of lectures was sponsored by the Anna Howard Shaw Center at Boston University School of Theology. The six theologians who led the event -- Carter Heyward, Barbara Gerlach, Rita Nakashima Brock, Gail Paterson Corrington, Jacquelyn Grant and Delores Williams -- challenged age-old assumptions about human life, divine power, and Jesus Christ as the only true redeemer.
