SpiritCare. Church of God (Cleveland, Tenn.)

While many unpublished manuscripts naturally find their home in individual, family, or institutional collections, there are other manuscripts in our holdings which do not have such a home. This accruing collection brings intellectual cohesion to those manuscripts that broadly fit our holdings but are not included in other collections because each one might be the only item we have related to a person or a variety of other reasons.

Countless local congregations, and especially their Ladies/Women's Ministries, have published cookbooks as fundraising ventures for building projects, missions programs, and operating expenses of the church. This accruing collection serves as a memorium, preserving and making available many of these cookbooks. Not only are they great resources for comfort-food recipes, they are a window into the culture and operations of portions of the Church of God.
