SACRED PLACES • WINTER 2007 3
When Partners established itsPennsylvania office and thePhiladelphia Regional Fund forSacred Places, we intended for thisoffice to serve as a national model,its breadth and comprehensivenessinspiring other regions to dosomething similar. We hoped that thecare we took to design and managethis office would move others to work
with Partners to serve their own sacred places.We thought it might take a couple of years for
another region to follow suit, but to ourastonishment, several civic leaders in Texas tooknotice within a few months, and invited us to talkabout meeting the needs of local churches andsynagogues in the summer of 2005. We began, verysoon, to talk turkey, discussing how Partners couldset up its second regional office to serve the FortWorth area, perhaps growing to serve a larger swathof the Southwest in years to come.
For this to happen so fast, all the rightingredients had to be in place. Fort Worth and itsenvirons possessed a plethora of passionate andknowledgeable civic leaders, led by James Nader, aprominent architect and Methodist layman. Theregion possesses an important collection ofsignificant, community-serving churches andsynagogues, and public leaders like Fort WorthMayor Mike Moncrief and Planning DirectorFernando Costa were eager to promote investmentsin religious properties that would be a catalyst forneighborhood revitalization.
Lastly, and significantly, this array of leaders isaccustomed to collaboration, and they had the earof a generous philanthropist who was willing tounderwrite a careful planning process. Bottom line:in less than a year, that donor provided $1 million tosupport the launch of the Texas Office of Partnersfor Sacred Places.
You might think that the Pennsylvania office,being somewhat older, would inform and guide thenewer Texas initiative, but in reality each office hashad much to teach the other. Pennsylvania’sexperience in training, grantmaking and fundraisingis helping Texas. At the same time, Texas’ early workto tie religious capital projects to communitydevelopment is guiding our work in Pennsylvania,and the city government’s involvement is setting agood example for municipal involvement elsewhere.
Now, we’re proud to say, both Texas ANDPennsylvania can serve as models for the nextgeneration of regional initiatives we hope to promoteacross the nation. All this in less than three years!

Big and BrightUpdate on Partners
On a glorious day this past October, St.Andrew’s United Methodist Church in FortWorth hosted one of the most significant eventsin Partners’ 18-year history: the formal openingof its first regional office outside of Pennsylvania.Keynote speaker, The Honorable Mike Moncriefwelcomed Partners to Fort Worth:
We are delighted that you have selected our city asthe site of your first regional office beyond yourheadquarters in Philadelphia. The mission ofPartners for Sacred Places aligns closely with theCity Council’s strategic goals — to revitalize ourcentral city and other older areas.
As reported in the last issue of Sacred Places,this event culminated a planning processinitiated by the Dick Bundy Donor Advised fund at the Wichita Falls Area CommunityFoundation, which has provided a grant of $1 million to seed the Texas program.
The evidence for Partners’ choice of FortWorth for this office was abundantly clear at thevibrant October 20th ceremony. An impressivemix of civic, philanthropic, faith, preservation anddesign leaders have volunteered their support;many city congregations like St. Andrew’s (a 2006graduate of the New Dollars/New Partners training)
boast impressivehistoric buildings andvibrant communityprograms that deservewide communitysupport; and the Mayorand his staff, especiallyin the city planning
department, are committed to working with localcongregations to stabilize and enliven Fort Worth’smany historic neighborhoods.
As Mayor Moncreif stated:
Fort Worth is blessed with a variety of assets thatcan be beneficial to your efforts. We have a strongand diverse faith community, and we have atradition of celebrating our history and culture.Fort Worth has an extraordinary record ofphilanthropy and civic leadership, and we are well-known for our commitment to innovation ineconomic and community development.
The launch event capped a year of planning,organizing, and training by Partners’ staff,consultants, and local volunteers, but the realwork now begins. Partners is already beginningto work with congregations in 3 targeted cityneighborhoods, to prepare them for a 2007 New Dollars/New Partners training program. In the next five years, 60 congregations willgraduate from this program and 200 will receiveinformation, consulting, referrals and othertechnical assistance.
Partners is also working with its newly formed15 member Advisory Board (see sidebar) to planfuture program and fundraising initiatives.Starting in 2007, Partners plans to raise fundsfrom regional donors and funders tosupplement the initial grant. These funds willhelp support the training and capacity-buildingwork of the office, as well as provide over$500,000 in planning and capital grants directlyto congregations.

6 SACRED PLACES • WINTER 2007
In September 2004, Partners completed anine-month New Dollars/New Partners trainingsession sponsored by the Presbytery of GreaterAtlanta, in which eleven Atlanta-area Presbyterianchurches participated. Recently, Partners had aconversation with The Reverend Mary JaneCornell and parishioners Ron Miller and EricDusenbury, of Druid Hills Presbyterian Church(DHPC) in Atlanta, to follow up on the outcomeof their training.
For years the congregation had known therewas extensive and ongoing water damage to their1940 sanctuary, but hadn’t known where to start.“Nine years ago, when I first got here, we had ameeting where we talked about water damage.Partners gave us the nuts and bolts to say ‘let’s dothis now and not talk about it any longer,’”explains Reverend Cornell.
One of the most useful tools the DHPC teampicked up from the training was therole-playing segment, where theypracticed approaching people fordonations. “I’d never been part of acapital campaign before, so this gaveme an appreciation of how you goabout asking for money. It’s importantnot to ask for too little.” said ReverendCornell.
Once they finished the training,they worked swiftly and efficiently. Alesson they took from the training wasthe importance of performing afeasibility study, which helped DHPCestablish a list of priorities and costs.They devised a theme for theircampaign, Keeping the Promise, which
was tied in with the 125th anniversaryof their congregation in 2008. Thefundraising that followed was sosuccessful that they exceeded their$1.1 million goal in five months, andthey have already completed anupgrade to the interior of their NightShelter. While these accomplishmentsare impressive, they are not unique toDruid Hills. A survey of the graduatesof the New Dollars program foundthat many congregations who havecompleted assigned tasks shortly afterthe training were more likely to havemade progress toward major goals,such as the completion of a capitalcampaign. Some of the importantskills participants gain include:
• Making a strong case, and finding motivationand starting point for all the work ahead;
• Learning how to frame priorities andcommunicate the scope of the project to thecongregation, so they become stakeholders inthe process;
• Cultivating new community partnerships andactivating latent relationships within thecongregation. Many times, a capital campaign can be a
launch point for evaluating the services acongregation provides to the larger community.When DHPC first came together with the otherAtlanta churches, they initially found it difficultto define what made them unique. “What we hadthought was unique about Druid Hills — thatwe’re in town, that we’re open and affirming —isn’t what makes us unique at all — it’s ouroutreach programs that set us apart,” explained

Update on Partners
Dusenbury. Their Child Development Center is a mission ofDHPC, but also a separate 501(c)(3), and allowed them totap into many more sources of funding than are normallyavailable to religious organizations. Their Night Shelter ishosted at DPHC’s McIver Hall, but draws in volunteers fromother organizations. They are now working onstrengthening relationships with those organizations andturning to them for additional assistance.
While the capital campaign has drawn to a close, thecongregation and the church’s mission continue to benefit fromthe training. “The efforts we made have caused us to re-evaluatehow we look at our mission... . A lot of times, when you do achurch budget, your two big costs are salary and maintenance.Examining those helps the congregation understand wheretheir money is going,” says Dusenbury. Relationships have beenstrengthened: the congregation is more aware of theirpartnership with the Child Development Center; and thechurch is re-establishing ties with people whose families hadhistorically been involved in the church.

FundraisingBy spring of 2006 a total of $1.2 million was raised to meet
the terms of a $1 million challenge grant from the WilliamPenn foundation. The breadth of support for this effort wasimpressive: seven local foundations, over $100,000 given byindividual donors, and significant contributions by theCommonwealth of Pennsylvania. The initial $2.2 millionrepresents the first steps in building a large, sustainable fund.To that end, the William Penn Foundation recently committedan additional $500,000 to help Partners’ staff to expand theFund and increase its visibility in the region.
Training A total of 40 congregations have completed New
Dollars/New Partners training in the Philadelphia region.Over 60 additional local congregations have also received
information, technical assistance, and/or participated in other workshops sponsored by Partners.
Grant MakingPartners awarded over $1.4 million in grants to 19
congregations in the Greater Philadelphia region. Seven ofthose grants have been conducted in partnership with thePennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.

Christ Church in Philadelphia, aworking house of worship and part ofIndependence Hall National HistoricPark, attracts over 250,000 visitors a year.Formed in 1695, as a Church ofEngland parish, the current buildingwas constructed between 1727 and 1744.It was called “the Nation’s Church”because of the prominent figures whoworshiped there, including BenjaminFranklin, George Washington, andmembers of the Second ContinentalCongress.
A Long History of StewardshipIn order to relieve some of the normal
burdens and challenges of stewardshipand tourism from the congregation, theChrist Church Preservation Trust(CCPT) was established in 1965, as a501(c)(3), a separate entity from thechurch. (See sidebar) Over the past fourdecades, the CCPT has raised and spentover $4 million for the on-going
preservation andmaintenance of thechurch propertiesthat include thechurch, the BurialGround, and the 1911NeighborhoodHouse, wherecommunityprograms are held.Don Smith,Executive Directorof the CCPT,explains theadvantage of the501(c)(3): “We canraise money fromindividuals,foundations andgovernmentagencies whoprefer to give to ahistorical program.”
The CCPT’s accomplishments havebeen notable. Between 2001 and 2003,the CCPT used a promotional brochureto secure grants to reopen the BurialGround that had been closed since theBicentennial in 1976. Over $400,000 wasraised and spent on restoring thelandscape architecture and rebuilding165 grave markers. The money alsohelped establish new interpretiveinformation, including new site map, asouvenir CD, a website, and subject-basedtours for visitors.
Preservation Plans: A Strategy for the Future
A special committee devised a 20-year preservation plan that includeda $10 million capital campaign forestablishing on-going maintenance aswell as large and small preservationprojects. From this preservation planparishioners will contribute $2 millionand the remaining $8 million will beraised from the outside community.Church restoration will require $3.5 million, with the balance to bespent on the Burial Ground and theNeighborhood House. Because ChristChurch is a National HistoricLandmark, appeals can be made outsidethe congregation, to a national base ofpeople and foundations who take aninterest in preservation. At the time ofthis writing, two years into thecampaign, they have raised $3.5 million.
Making ConnectionsThe capital campaign was also
assisted by Partners’ PhiladelphiaRegional Fund for Sacred Places, whichmade one of its first grants to ChristChurch. Smith found CCPT’s work withPartners helpful in two ways: they servedas advisers for the planning of capitalcampaign, and Partners provided linksto other congregations. “We learnedhow other congregations were

approachingquestionsaroundrestorationprograms forhistoric housesof worship. It’s really animportant thingto talk to othersbefore you startraising money,so you get theright approachfor yourprogram,”explains Smith.Trinity EpiscopalChurch inBoston gave the CCPT twoimportant piecesof advice: usethe bestconsultants,even though itmay seemexpensive at thetime; and allowenough lead
time to develop a strong case statement and image. The Boardof the CCPT realized that a goal of $2 million from theirparishioners was a challenge but not outside the realm ofpossibility. Heeding that advice, Christ Church PreservationTrust took two years to develop their case, working withconsultants and planning out the capital campaign. Smith saysit was tremendously valuable to take the time to develop thosesteps and develop a really solid cohesive plan —”it’s made allthe difference.”
Disaster Averted, Looking AheadThis major push for capital improvements fits in with
the church’s long-range, holistic view of its place in history, “We based part of our campaign on the concept that every 100 years, we must become involved in preserving this church,”Smith explains. While the fund raising continues, physicalimprovements to the church are already underway; the firstround of a fire safety system, at a cost of $500,000, has beeninstalled. The entire system will eventually cost $1.5 million.Additional work is being done to the exterior of the building.Currently, the building envelope (roof, exterior walls, doorsand windows) are being sealed against the elements, to preventany further water damage from occurring. Existing waterdamage in the interior of the church is being repaired. TheChrist Church has an additional $2.5 million to spend on thephysical restoration of the church property, which will takeanother 18 months to complete.

SACRED PLACES • WINTER 2007 15
Did you know that the colors ofthe slate on your roof are notonly beautiful, but can also
provide important information about itsdurability? It’s true, slate from differentregions differ in color and have knownexpected service lives. Knowing this, andthe date of construction of yourbuilding, can help you determinewhether the existing slate is original,what its remaining service life is, andwhether it should be repaired orreplaced.
The majority of domestic slate was,and still is, quarried along theAppalachian Mountain chain in thestates of Virginia, Pennsylvania, NewYork, Vermont, and Maine. Amongother characteristics, each region’s slatepossesses a unique color and, based onpast experience, can be expected to lasta certain amount of time, ranging fromas little as 60 years to as long as severalhundred years (see map).
Say, for example, your church wasconstructed in 1926 and has a greenslate roof with a nice patina. Greenshingles suggest a New York/Vermontslate with an expected service life ofabout 125 years. Since your roof is only80 years old, it is likely original, can beexpected to last about another 45 years,and, if experiencing leaks, should mostlikely be repaired rather than replaced.Similarly, a gray/black Pennsylvania Soft-Vein slate with an expected service lifeof 60 years on a house of worship builtin 1910 is probably not original, butrather a second roof ranging in agefrom 25 to 40 years, again suggestingrepair rather than replacement shouldthere be some problems.
See www.sacredplaces.org for anexpanded version of this article andcolor photographs of roofs with slatequarried from different regions.

What Kind of Slate is That?And Why You Ought To KnowBy Jeffrey S. Levine
Jeffrey S. Levine is Presidentof Levine & Company, Inc.,Roof and Building EnvelopeConsulting, Ardmore,Pennsylvania,[email protected]. He is an expert in themaintenance, rehabilitationand replacement of steep-slope roofing systems.
Other clues to keep in mind❖ How long will it last? Knowing where
a slate was quarried is a good guideto its expected service life. Otherfactors will, however, impact a slateroof’s durability. These include: thetype of nails used to secure the slateshingles, orientation of the roofslopes, roof pitch, local climateconditions, and workmanship.
❖ Can the contractor you are about tohire identify that slate? If not, findsomeone who can as they will morelikely be familiar with slate roofs andtheir repair.
❖ Did you say “tear it off?” Questionthe contractor who says “tear it off.” The fact is, many roofingcontractors would rather install anew asphalt shingle roof thanrepair an historic slate roof. Slatesnearing the end of their serviceablelives will begin to delaminate, holdmoisture, break, and fall out. If theslate shingles on your roof do notexhibit any of these characteristics,seek a second opinion.
