Jefferson, Charles Edward, 1860-1937

Jefferson was born in Appalachia, in Cambridge, Ohio, but spent most of his life outside the region. He attended Ohio Wesleyan University and the Boston University School of Theology, and pastored two churches: Central Congregational in Chelsea, Massachusetts and the Broadway Tabernacle (now the Broadway United Church of Christ) in New York City (1898-1930).

Jefferson’s papers are housed at the Congregational Library & Archives and the New York Historical Society. Additional information can be found in Jefferson’s Wikipedia page; an article in the Encyclopedia Americana; and the biographical sketch published alongside his sermon in William Stidger, If I Had Only One Sermon to Preach on Immortality (New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1929).

Jefferson User Guide

Robert H. Ellison

The User Guide for the Library of Appalachian Preaching is a Google Sheet that can be searched, sorted, and downloaded for offline use.

At the moment, Jefferson has only one sermon in the Library; it has a Guide of its own so the records will be complete. It includes the title, sermon text, date and place the sermon was preached, and so on. This information is available in the master list of sermons as well.
