UPDATE on Partners:
Chicago Office
Workshops
The Chicago Office has added free workshops to its
spectrum of services. Last September, Rolf Achilles,
co-Chair of the Chicago Advisory Board and Curator of
the Smith Museum of Stained Glass at Navy Pier, spoke
about “Stained Glass Windows of Our Sacred Places” at St.
James United Methodist Church. A second stained glass
workshop is currently being planned for early 2010.
Two additional workshops have been planned for 2009:
“The Bare Necessities of Life – Why Development is
Fundamental for Congregations” will be presented by
Gianfranco Grande, Director of the Chicago office in
November, and in December, architect George Halik,
Director and Principal of Booth Hansen & Associates, will
lead “How to Choose an Architect for Your Sacred Place.”

Places;” “What to Know About Structural Engineers –
