CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLAN (CMP)
Many of you had the opportunity to meet Bryony Roberts when she was in Columbus in early March, conducting interviews for the Keeping It Modern grant from the Getty Foundation. She was hoping to visit again in May for some additional interviews with members of the community and other NCC partners and friends. Due to the current situation in our country, and around the world, those plans for another visit were cancelled. However, Bryony was able to interview Dick Hamm, Rick Spleth, and Scott Seay (CTS History Professor) about the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller family and their connection to the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) via Zoom. I was “a fly on the wall” for the conversation and found it thoroughly fascinating! I learned a lot! I have received permission to share the conversation with all of you.
I strongly encourage you to watch this hour long video! You won’t be disappointed, I promise! You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/ovKB7w9q0dE

DISCIPLES.ORG GETS A FACELIFT
If you head over to disciples.org this week you may notice the old familiar disciples.org looks a little bit different. The menus at the top still go to the same information, but we updated the home page for the new decade. We did some work on the back end of the site as well that should help it function more smoothly.
If you run across a broken link, please e-mail news@disciples.org.
