| dc.description.abstract | Oral history interview with Laura Shriner conducted by Clint Shriner in Wichita, Kansas, on December 10, 2009. In this interview, Laura Shriner describes her experiences growing up attending both Lutheran and Baptist churches in a largely Danish community in the sandhills of Nebraska. She discusses her experiences as a member of the congregation of the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Wichita, and her decision to leave that church and join the congregation of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Wichita due to its outreach to the poor, its acceptance of gay people, and its program of Christian education for adults. She describes events that shaped her views of social justice, and the importance of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America's (ELCA) decision to express acceptance for homosexuality. She also discusses the response of Wichita congregations to the Vietnam War. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas course taught at the University of Kansas by Dr. Timothy Miller in the fall of 2009. | |
