7 Its Important To Be Realistic About Resource Needs It takes money each year to carry out preservation activities It takes many human resources, too, so recruit volunteers It takes time, so don t expect to accomplish everything over night It takes commitment on the part of staff and church leaders to make it all work
8 Why Is It Important To Preserve our Church History? It is Your Turn Now! (we will record some of your thoughts and then suggest some of our own)
9 Why Is It Important To Preserve our Church History? It can teach us in the present (knowing about past mistakes, successes, etc. provides a foundation for moving forward) History harbors the beauty of our past (our social justice achievements, our importance within the community, our religious successes, etc.) History helps us understand people (past lay and religious leaders, notable members, etc.)
10 Why Is It Important To Preserve our Church History? It helps us understand societal and religious change and how we have adapted to it History helps us understand behavioral change (how we dealt with difficult situations, how we forgave, how we adapted, etc.) History is important to our own lives knowing the wonderful history of our religious community gives us direction and hope for our own future
11 Why Is It Important To Preserve our Church History? History contributes to moral understanding knowing something about the moral tests weathered by our religious ancestors allows us to test our own moral sense History provides identity when we can point with pride to past church accomplishments Perhaps most important, history can be an important source of inspiration as we give thanks to past leaders and strive to follow their examples
12 Ideas for Promoting History In Your Church Our Experiences Regular newsletter articles Displays Special services (summer service, dedication services, etc.) Presentations Work with the religious education program Recruiting volunteers for ad hoc needs Web page (information and links)
