| dc.description.abstract | Oral history interview with Terry Koenig conducted by Lauren Helmer in Lawrence, Kansas, on November 16, 2010. In this interview, Terry Koenig discusses her childhood growing up as a member of the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, the importance of German ethnicity to the culture of the denomination, and her involvement with the church as a young adult. She describes the incidences of gender discrimination and sexual improprieties by church leadership that led to her involvement in efforts to defrock a priest and her subsequent decision to leave the church. She also discusses children's programs within the church, the doctrines and rituals of the church, and the efforts of one church to assemble a pipe organ. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas course at the University of Kansas taught by Dr. Timothy Miller in the fall of 2010. | |

| kusw.oanotes | 12/2013: Interviewees gave these interviews with the understanding that they would be made publicly available on a web site and that names would be included in the recording/transcripts. Oral History Consent Statement agreed to by interviewees: The Department of Religious Studies at the University of Kansas is conducting a research project that seeks to preserve and provide a publicly accessible record of the history of various churches and other religious organizations in Kansas. We seek to collect as many stories, information, and documents as possible, with the goal of creating, over time, a major repository of information on all kinds of religious bodies in Kansas, past and present. We would like to record your memories of your experiences in religious organizations. We expect that each interview will take about one hour. We assure you that you are not obligated to participate and may discontinue your involvement at any time. Since we are trying to create a public record of Kansas religious history, we are primarily interviewing persons who agree to let their interviews be available to the general public through the Religion in Kansas Project Website and to be identified by name as the person who was interviewed. | |
