IDEA Lab Exhibit: Roots of EYN: H. Stover Kulp in Nigeria

IDEA Lab Exhibit: Roots of EYN: H. Stover Kulp in Nigeria In-Person

2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the Church of the Brethren mission in Nigeria. Now known as Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria, EYN is the largest national body of the Church of the Brethren in the world.

In 2021, the Hess Archives and Special Collections was fortunate enough to receive correspondence, documents, and several hundred photographs from the family of H. Stover Kulp, one of the first two Church of the Brethren missionaries to Nigeria in 1923.

This exhibition features materials from the newly processed H. Stover Kulp Family Papers, 1911-2016 and celebrates the seed that Kulp; his colleague, Albert Helser; and those first Nigerian Brethren planted. We also celebrate the members who continue to persevere and support the church in Nigeria.

The exhibition is free and open to the public. Contact Archivist Rachel Grove Rohrbaugh with any questions.
