Seminary professor receives
women's history cash award

     MADISON, N.J. (UMNS) -- The Rev. Paul W. Chilcote, professor
of church history and Wesleyan studies at the Methodist
Theological School in Ohio, one of 13 theological seminaries
related to the United Methodist Church, has been awarded the 1997
Women in United Methodist History Research Award.
     The denomination's Commission on Archives and History
presents the $1,000 award annually to provide funds for research
projects related to the history of women in the United Methodist
Church or its antecedents.
     Chilcote, a third-generation United Methodist minister, is a
clergy member of North Indiana Annual Conference, who did his
Master of Divinity and Ph.D. at Duke University. 
     He is the author of a widely used volume on women preachers
in early Methodism titled She Offered Them Christ and is at work
on a new book of women's writings in early Methodism which will
probably be published by the United Methodist Publishing House.
