Published: 2006-10-09

MOBILE, Ala. (CNS) -- Religious education teachers drilling their students on church history now have the resources of a veteran teacher to use in their classes. Sacred Heart Brother Malcolm Melcher taught high school religion for 40 years before he retired, and for 30 of those years saved material he composed for use in drills, quizzes, tests and other exams. He has made many of his old tests and answers available to religion teachers on a Web site. Now he has added to the collection more than 1,600 questions and answers on church history. The church history information is available at www.boshf.org/churchhistorybank. The other area he maintains on the Web, www.boshf.org/moraltheologybank, contains more than 600 questions in a multiple-choice and free-response format. To obtain password access, religion teachers must send a letter of application to Brother Melcher at: 2609 Springhill Ave., Mobile, AL 36607. Letters must be written on official school letterhead and include the applicant's current teaching assignment, signature and e-mail address.
