New at www.brethren.org are pictorial histories of the two main Church of the Brethren denominational facilities: the General Offices in Elgin, Ill. (shown here), which celebrates its 50th anniversary on April 8, and the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md., which also celebrates its 65th anniversary this year. Go to http://www.brethren.org/site/PhotoAlbumUser?AlbumID=6059&view=UserAlbum and http://www.brethren.org/site/PhotoAlbumUser?AlbumID=7005&view=UserAlbum to view the histories, shown through old and new photographs of the two facilities.
