"I have enormous sympathy for people trying to hold together mainline denominations," said Jane Donovan, a church historian and lecturer at West Virginia University."The forces people are struggling with have been cooking for 100 years.There is no easy solution."

Even before the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial when Biblical literalism faced Darwin's theory of evolution, mainline churches held people with differing views -- those who believed in the literal truth of scripture versus those who viewed the text more critically.

"Through the years, lots of people of differing perspectives have grown tired of division on topics, such as homosexuality and abortion," Donovan said.

"Without Ed Schell, there would be no Baltimore-Washington archives," said Jane Donovan, a member of the Commission on Archives and History.According to Donovan, he is known throughout the country for his archival and research skills - and for his incredible ability to pull historical details from his memory.
