New Disciples History Website Unveiled

Disciples of Christ Historical Society today launched a major update to its website http://www.discipleshistory.org/.

“It’s better than ever,” said Historical Society president Glenn Thomas Carson. “With 1,000 people visiting discipleshistory.org every month, we want to make access to our resources as easy as possible.”

The site includes a fully searchable catalog, index to periodicals, and digital images.

Two new programs are featured on discipleshistory.org. First, Journeys in Faith helps individuals write their spiritual autobiography, which then will be made available online. Second, Streamers helps congregations teach the history and beliefs of the Stone-Campbell movement. It is an in-depth curriculum developed in partnership with Disciples Home Missions. It is available for free download at discipleshistory.org.

The site also includes a staff blog sharing thoughts and insights on research, programming, and church life.

Disciples of Christ Historical Society is a general ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), also serving Churches of Christ and Christian Churches/Churches of Christ. Glenn Thomas Carson, President.
