The History of Packer Memorial Church

For the video slideshow project, I chose to investigate the history of Packer Memorial Church. Because the church is so central to Lehigh's campus and has existed on campus for many years, I thought it would have some interesting facts hidden in its past. As I researched I found just that. I started by asking Asa Packer's Ghost about the church on Twitter and got a response directing me toward helpful resources and people. A wonderful essay called "Sermon in Stone" written by W. Ross Yates was very helpful in providing historical facts. Talking with Seth Goren provided a new perspective on the role of the church today.
