Brethren Foundation offers new Brethren web directory.

The Brethren Foundation has added a directory of Church of the Brethren executives and development professionals to its website (www.bbtfoundation.org) which provides contact information for Church of the Brethren organizations.

The directory lists denominational agencies, districts, camps, institutions of higher learning, Brethren retirement communities, and other agencies affiliated with the Church of the Brethren. The directory contains the names of key personnel, their e-mail addresses, and phone numbers. Brethren will want to bookmark the page for regular reference. It is also available in a printer-friendly format.

"We trust the directory will be a resource that is helpful to members of the Church of the Brethren as they consider the beneficiaries of their charitable planning," said Steve Mason, Brethren Foundation director. "The foundation will update the site as we receive input and will do a formal review two times a year."

The foundation website also offers detailed information on the services provided to clients including gifting opportunities. It describes the foundation’s investment strategy, its investment managers, and its funds with their performance totals. In addition, the site explains the foundation’s commitment to socially responsible investing and contains an extensive list of financial Internet links. Go to www.bbtfoundation.org.

Resources for congregational and personal health and worship will be available beginning March 1 at the ABC website, www.brethren-caregivers.org. Congregation leaders can request a printed version of the resources at no charge from ABC by calling 800-323-8039.
