70th Anniversary Special




Day1 Weekly Radio Broadcast - Day1 Feeds show

Summary: Paul, in the presence of Christ, was moved to ask a revealing question. The struggle and the yielding of that great soul are rolled up into it. As I look at the printed page, it seems to stand out in bold relief. When I think on the story, it seems to shout itself at me, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" Peter Wallace: That's Bishop J. C. Harrell from a Protestant Hour broadcast in 1946. Today the Reverend Dr. Skip Schueddig joins us to celebrate 70 years of faithful weekly broadcasts. I'm Peter Wallace...this is Day1. Sherrie Miller: Welcome to Day 1, the weekly program that brings you outstanding preachers from America's mainline Protestant churches, sharing insight and inspiration from God's Word for your life. Now to introduce this special program, here's our host Peter Wallace. Peter: Thank you, Sherrie. Today we launch a special series of programs celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Protestant Hour and Day1. In the following four weeks you'll hear new sermons from some of the most popular Protestant Hour speakers of years past--Barbara Lundblad, Thomas Lane Butts, Charles Duvall, and Joanna Adams. But today we'll take a special look at the history of the Protestant Hour and actually hear some of the outstanding preachers of the 20th century. To help us do that, we're honored to have with us the Rev. Dr. Louis Schueddig, who for 30 years served as president and executive director of the Episcopal Media Center and our parent organization, the Alliance for Christian Media, before retiring in 2012. An Episcopal priest, Skip was for many years the Episcopal producer of the Protestant Hour and served as the program's host for an interim period in 2000. Skip, thank you for helping us celebrate this ministry milestone!
