Historical Note

From the late 1928 to the about 1941, the Duke School of Religion sponsored a summer school program at Lake Junaluska in western North Carolina. Called the Junaluska School of Religion, the program allowed Methodist leaders and scholars to gather and take college-level courses in theology. Due to a decline in enrollment and teachers, the program was discontinued in the early 1940s.
