Oral history interview with Helen B. Winsted, [electronic resource] / interviewed by Anne Marie Pois, and filmed by Anne Marie Pois and Sue Brighton, 2009. 2009.

Helen Winsted was born in South Dakota in 1914, grew up in a strict religious farming family, and after several moves, arrived in Boulder in 1963. She has been a member of the First United Methodist Church since coming to Boulder, and was involved in creating, helping to guide, or participating in many of its programs, including the Love in Action program, United Methodist Women, and BUMMP (Boulder United Methodist Mission Partners). She describes these programs and some of their accomplishments, discusses one of the central philosophical issues with which the church dealt - the issue of gay people in the ministry - and talks about the importance of church outreach work to help make the world a better place.
