INDIANA - In 1989, the pair of co-founders in Philadelphia identified the need for coordinated support for a growing number of abandoned and deteriorating houses of worship, and they set to work marshaling religious, historic preservation and philanthropic resources. They named their unique service Partners for Sacred Places and it is the only national, non-sectarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to the sound stewardship and active community use of America's older (pre-1942) religious properties. Today the nine-member staff partner's with local organizations around the country such as the Indianapolis Center for Congregations who care for sacred place and promotes a greater understanding of how these places sustain communities, and publish research and guides on maintaining vibrant sacred places.
