Scope and Content Note

These papers include Don Hicks’ materials on churches and preaching, personal correspondence, civic engagement, and research interests. The materials in Series I were taken directly from a set of filing cabinets which reflect Hicks arrangement and use. The other series were constructed from unsorted and unorganized materials stored in boxes. The processors determined this arrangement best preserves the integrity of the original order.
