For this month's inquiry, we have an interior view of an MDEO Chapel, c. 1930. First of all, can you name the church? Next, let's examine the banner which reads: "Eastern Oregon, SS Lenten Offering". For most churches, the banner is a representation of the parish and its congregation, and includes some type of symbol, logo or slogan. In the Christian Church, banners are typically used for processionals. It's always nice to see the diocese's banners lined up together at Convention every year. What is the purpose of this particular banner? Is it for a Sunday School offering? How many banners would a small mission such as this have in their collection? Is this particular banner still around? Please share any thoughts or memories.

About the History's Mysteries Page
Historical mysteries are all around us. On this page, we'll focus on primary and secondary source evidence to examine cultural and historical shifts throughout the EDEO. Feel free to leave comments, questions or ideas on the mysteries and questions you find here. You will notice that not all entries are mysteries, but rather questions which lead to new insights on the diocese. Our goal here is to honor the practice of historiography.
