The vibrant roles of churches extend beyond their congregations into their communities, and a workshop at Auburn University will assist church members in writing histories.
Church histories provide a valuable record of the past and enjoyable reading to a wide audience.
Wells will address a variety of issues relating to research and writing, Lamar said. Peter Branum, of the Archives and Manuscripts Department of Draughon Library, will introduce participants to AU's holdings and conducting research in the University library. The workshop is free and open to everyone interested. Space is limited, however, and registration is encouraged.
