Partners for Sacred Places
Celebrates 20 Years of Service
Sacred places do so much to anchor and
strengthen communities, dignify and
stabilize streetscapes, preserve cultural
heritage, and serve people in need.
During a recent trip to Philadelphia, the Reverend Robert
Reiss, Canon of Westminster Abbey (middle) met with
Partners’ Bob Jaeger (l.) and Tuomi Forrest (r.) to learn
more about our work.
We look forward to watching the students’ progress and seeing
how they help us deliver New Dollars/New Partners training to
their congregations.

Yet, congregations with historic buildings
are vulnerable, too. To answer this call,
Partners has developed and offered
innovative programs and creative ways to
provide assistance. This year alone, Partners
is working with over 500 congregational
leaders in dozens of locales.
This critical work could not be done without
your dedication. Your membership in
Partners has brought tangible results in
the health and sustainability of America’s
sacred places. However, there is still more to
accomplish. So, please join Partners, or renew
your membership!
This year, when you join at the Donor Circle
Level of $125, you may choose either:
• “Why Should We Spend Money on Our
Building When There is So Much Need in
the World?” a 25-minute audio-CD that
gives perspectives from different faith
traditions, or
• “After Sunday” a 25-minute DVD
illustrating how congregations serve
their communities.
When you join at the Donor Circle Level of
$200, you will receive the
Maintenance Manual, a workbook
that includes checklists, organizers
and information for you to maintain
your sacred property.
Your basic membership will give you Sacred
Places magazine, the Professional Alliance
directory, monthly e-zines, discounts
on publications and entrance to regional
workshops.
Thank you.
