Cadle Tabernacle Audio Collection – Finding Aid - 2
Historical Note
E. Howard Cadle built the Cadle Tabernacle (1921-1968) in Indianapolis, Indiana to honor his mother, Loretta “Etta” Cadle. The building was located at the intersection of New Jersey and Ohio Streets across from Indianapolis City Hall. The building served as a center for evangelical programs and broadcasts on the Cincinnati, Ohio radio station WLW in the 1930s. With a seating capacity of 10000 with a choir loft capacity of 1400, it was billed as the largest religious building in the world at the time.
Cadle’s radio program, The Nation’s Family Prayer Period, reached an estimated 30 million people between 1931-1950s. Throughout its broadcasting history, coverage ranged across the Midwestern United States, Mexico, and Canada via 16” inch electrical transcriptions and short- wave radio stations. Monday through Saturday programs were 15 minutes long, and Sunday programs were 30 minutes long.

Scope and Content The Cadle Tabernacle Audio Collection consists of 16-inch electrical transcriptions and compact discs (CDs) with audio transfers of The Nation’s Family Prayer Period radio broadcasts. The original air dates ranged from c. 1939 - c.1942. The compact discs were created by Read G. Burgan of RGB Digital c. 2013.
Most discs are commercially pressed, though some are made from lacquer. Most discs play from the outside rim towards the center. The discs’ conditions range from fair to poor. Some paper labels differ from the matrix numbers engraved in the discs. None of the lacquer discs have labels and no matrix numbers. Some labels also have notes indicating when the broadcasts aired at a particular radio station, but no indication of the original recording date.
Digital copies may be accessed at https://digitalcommons.fuller.edu/cadletabernacle/ (as of April 2020).
