Sermons
Sermons, eulogies, and other longer works by Ed Christman were generally crafted through several versions and over many hours. Through this time and meticulous attention, the piece would be memorized and then delivered, usually without notes, into its final form.
The written record for these sermons and other works is very thin. The most complete set of final sermons come from the several dozen chapel sermons given between 1983-2003, which had previously been audio-taped and were later transcribed to become documents.
One of the most memorable of these chapel sermons was Ed’s final chapel service on April 24, 2003. Follow this link to read this sermon, which was titled Blowing in the Wind.
In the future, we hope to post many of those transcriptions along with some audio excerpts. The audio record is indeed the best record of Ed’s sermons! Readers may also look forward to publication of sermon notes and some added discussion of selected sermons.
[By the way, the chapel sermons of most all speakers during the period 1983-2002 were similarly preserved on audio tapes by the University Chaplain's office. This collection has become a part of the Wake Forest Z. Smith Reynolds Library Archives.]
