After her retirement from the Muncie Public Library, she has volunteered for the Delaware County Historical Society in various capacities, including editing a journal and a newsletter. She was also the main author of Delaware County, published in 2012, as part of Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America” series.- Muncie Churches and Civic Life 2pm to 3pm @ Westminster Village Event Hall 5801 West Bethel Avenue
Ages: 18+ During 2016 and 2017, the Center for Middletown Studies completed the Muncie Churches and Civic Engagement Project. It involved a series of oral history interviews with leaders of local faith communities with the aim of documenting and exploring the changing role of churches in the civic life of Muncie and the surrounding area. The impetus for the project stemmed from the observation that churches appeared to be among the few voluntary institutions that still attracted substantial, active memberships in the midst of local economic decline. Connolly’s talk will review the project’s key findings and consider their implication for civic affairs in Muncie.
