ARP WOMEN HISTORIANS: WHICH ONE WILL YOU CHOOSE THIS YEAR?
By Sue Brogi, ARP Women’s Minis- tries Historian
Y
ou can use the NEW way or the TRADITIONAL way to write your ANNUAL His-
tory; which one will you choose to get your history to our Library in Synodical Hall at Bonclarken? Last year we introduced a Word
Doc on the
ARPWM.org website entitled “ARPWM Annual History Template” to help many of you historians have an easier method to keep and write your annual his- tory. As your WM Historian, I look forward to seeing and reading your histories in the new format this Spring after your two copies on acid-free paper are forwarded to your Presbyterial Historian (by March 1st if you are on the calendar year, January - December; by October 1st if your church year is August - September). She then forwards
those two copies to me. One of those copies stays in the Synodical Hall Library, and the second is sent to Erskine as a backup. If you don’t have a Presbyterial Historian, mail your two copies (keeping the third copy for your church) directly to me: Sue Brogi, 112 Kenwood Drive, Henderson- ville, NC 28739. If you should have prior year histories that have not been sent in, please don’t hesitate to mail them to us as we can get them into the correct notebooks in the library. Others of you may have continued the tried-and-true methods of monthly files in a box or notebook. Good for you! We need our church and Presbyterial Historians to keep our histories in
our quickly amazingly changing world! (I mean, take COVID-19, for ex- ample). How MUCH it has changed everyone’s and every church’s world and still is! Let’s share those stories, examples, and new learning ideas with each other. As a long-time WM Historian, Sandra Miller reminds us, “Past history
can help plan for the future.” If you are blessed to have been keeping and sharing your church’s history, we are delighted to read, keep, and store it for the future of your church and our denomination. As the Bible reminds us in 1 Peter 4:10, “Each one of us should use whatever gift he has received to serve others faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” Thank you so much, all you women historians. We appreciate all your
time and effort to continue the writing of an annual history; it is still so very important. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me at:
