Abstract:
Dr. Richard Vann triumphed over adversity. Born on a Hertford County farm in 1851, he lost both his arms in a farming accident when he was twelve years old, yet went on to become one of the most prominent Baptist clergymen in the South. Among his accomplishments are the chaplaincy of Wake Forest College from 1883 to 1889, professor at Chowan Women's College, and from 1900 to 1915, president of the Baptist Female University (now Meredith College) in Raleigh.

Abstract:
The Rev. Linda Jordan and Rev. Mahan Siler are winners of the 1992 Independent Citizen Awards. Jordan’s and Siler’s Triangle area churches are the first to directly challenge the South Baptist Convention’s declaration against homosexuality. The two pastors practice tolerance, but have received backlash for their efforts. Congregation members have left; each pastor’s church has been expelled from the Southern Baptist Convention and the NC Baptist State Convention; and a campaign of hate has begun against the pastors and their churches.
