Smith, Kelly Miller, 1920-1984

 
Smith was born in Mississippi and earned degrees from Morehouse College in Atlanta and Howard University in Washington, D.C. He spent most of his career in Nashville, Tennessee, where he pastored the First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill from 1951-84 and was the first African American to join the faculty of Vanderbilt University Divinity School. He visited Appalachia in February 1969, when he participated in the Preaching Mission in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Additional information can be found in Smith’s Wikipedia page and David E. Sumner’s article in the Tennessee Encyclopedia.

    Smith 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, Smith 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.
