His first step was to get a feel for the level of biblical literacy among the membership. He spent his first year teaching fifth and sixth graders. This year he is working with 4-year-olds. “Historically, Episcopalians have paid minimal attention to Bible study in Sunday school,” Maltsberger said. “The lessons tend to come more from a story-telling perspec- tive with the aim of teaching morals and ethics — they use the Bible as a vehicle for illustrating how people should live. “Baptists, on the other hand, really stress Bible knowledge and see that knowl- edge is the natural foundation for producing good morals.” Clarifying his point, Maltsberger said Episcopalians tend to stress application of biblical truth while shorting knowledge of David Maltsberger visits with St. Helena’s member Walter Klingman before the 9 a.m. contemporary service.

The visionary mantle that fell upon the delegation attending the 1906 Louisiana Baptist Convention inspired an institution that still remains a century later: Louisiana College. The vision to produce, within its walls, generations of faithful men and women dedicated to building humanity through the knowledge of Jesus Christ, spiritual faith, strong leadership, and a commitment to excellence in education continues to define the mission of Louisiana College. The vision of the founding fathers is still clutched in the bosom of faithful leaders and professors who continue to carry the mantle.

Etter-Lewis’s individual research showed how African American oral nar- ratives shared a common framework, albeit multi- dimensional and non-formulaic, where familial kin relationships are used to elaborate historical consciousness. That historical consciousness simulta- neously incorporates “related and unrelated kin” and Jody Ludlow dynamically informs political and discursive imagi- nations for present and future struggles. This panel attempts to mobilize the impact and still “untapped” power of very specifi c strands of “unrelated kin” in rhetoric-composition studies: 1) the interpretive framework of critical race theory to map the ways exclusionary, racialized policing of college admis- sions affects whose and what literacies represent college/classrooms; 2) black women’s discursive struggles against the property function of whiteness Carmen Kynard as a reading of the fi eld’s investment in whiteness; and 3) new ideological lenses on the multiple literacies undergirding the activism of the Civil Rights Move- ment in order to fi nally see those literacies as endemic to social action.
