This Far By Faith
Camp meetings are outdoor religious meetings in which people once travelled great distances to be in attendance. My journey to discover the camp meeting tradition began when I was a young child. I grew up in North Carolina and attended camp meetings each year with my family. At that time I thought that everyone knew about camp meetings. In 1996, I returned to the tradition as an adult and soon realized that this tradition had unique roots in various regions across the United States. Each year since 2001, I have returned to 7 campgrounds in both North and South Carolina to record camp meetings through oral interviews, photography, and video footage.

East Lincoln gathering celebrates black history
The East Lincoln Community Center played host to an event that celebrated black history in eastern Lincoln County on Saturday. Denver’s “Mundy House” served as the sponsor for the event. The Eastern Lincoln County Historical Society, a branch of the Lincoln County Historical Association, which owns the Mundy House, provided volunteers for the event, which was organized by Betty Gwynn, Gary Jones, Frances Sigmon, Melisa Thompson and Richard Thompson.

Tucker's Grove Camp Meeting moves forward with new pastor
After more than 30 years of being the pastor of Tucker’s Grove United Methodist Church and the host pastor for Tucker’s Grove Camp Meeting, Rev. Albert Perkins has retired. The new pastor, Rev. Dr. Marvin Caldwell, was installed at Tucker’s Grove in July. As Lewis McClain, chairman of Tucker’s Grove Campground, said Saturday evening while introducing Caldwell before the singing, Caldwell “had to throw away his training wheels in a hurry,” assuming his role as host pastor of an event that is deeply steeped in history and tradition. Prior to coming to Tucker’s Grove, Caldwell had little experience with the tradition of camp meeting, except for a recent visit to Mott’s Grove Camp Meeting in Sherrill’s Ford.

Inside Tucker’s Grove's Annual Camp Meeting
FOR 145 YEARS, about a half-hour northwest of Charlotte, African-American families have gathered at Tucker’s Grove for its annual camp meeting in August. The rich Southern tradition is sparsely documented and rarely, if ever, advertised. In the two stories below, two photographers, each with his or her own lens, share pieces of camp life—from worship songs under the arbor to a grape snowball from a concession stand.
