Sermons were delivered at religious and ceremonial services in the Duke University Chapel by various ministers, professors, and guests of the University. Notable speakers include Howard Wilkinson, James Cleland, Waldo Beach, Thor Hall, Charlene Kammerer, Jon Laidlaw, Robert Young and others.
The collection consists of 7" reel-to-reel audio tapes, audiocassette tapes, VHS tapes and digital audio tapes of sermons, programs and Lenten meditations delivered in Duke Chapel from 1954 to ongoing. A partial list of sermon titles is in Box 1. Two of the sermons (May 4, 1969 and March 15, 1970) are "dialogue sermons," entitled "The Identity Crisis of the Church" and "Women's Liberation." The delivery of these sermons involved student participation.
