NATIONAL DEAF WORKSHOP
Making the Gospel accessible to the deaf
National Deaf Workshop: History
INTRODUCTION
The workshops have been held yearly since 1957 with the exception of the period from 1965 to 1968 and in 1970. Twice no congregation volunteered to host the workshop (1966 and 1968) and twice the workshop was canceled for some reason (1965 and 1967). In 1969, it was decided to hold the workshop every two years, but in 1971 that decision was rescinded and the yearly schedule was re-established. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th workshops were held in conjunction with a summer deaf camp. They were primarily the result of efforts by Ben Holland (from the Church of Christ of the Deaf in Austin, TX) to keep "the ball rolling" and give the deaf workshop some momentum. After three years it was decided that the workshop should continue, but separate from a deaf camp.
