- Description:
- This recording opens with an introduction of the program by Boyd Lewis. The first segment, which begins at 2:00, is a feature about the reunification of the Presbyterian Church. The program begins with the reading of a joint statement from a representative of the Presbyterian Church in the United States and the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America at the Georgia World Congress Center announcing the unification of these two groups. The split between these segments of the church was brought on as a result of the Civil War. The program features audio excerpts from Missy Sandifer of Mississippi; Emmy Young and Pat Hicks of Columbia Theological Seminary; Mildred Brown of the United Presbyterian Church; Dr. Randy Taylor of Central Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, Georgia; Reverend John Anderson; and Texas Presbyterian Roberto Delgado. The second segment, which begins at 18:19, is a feature about the efforts of Georgia College professor Kenneth Saladin to alter the city seal of Milledgeville by removing the word Christianity. The program features audio excerpts from Saladin and his lawyer, Ralph Goldberg; Charles Galloway, owner of Agape bookstore in Milledgeville, and Thomas Shultz of Bethel Baptist Church in Putnam County. The program ends with a sign off by Boyd Lewis.
