Responding to aNatural Disaster

Partners Helps in the Aftermath of Hurricane Ike

SACRED PLACES • WINTER 2009 3

On the eve of Partners’ 20thanniversary, we were veryhonored this fall to receive notone or two, but three prestigiousawards that recognizedPartners’ innovative outreachto congregations across thenation. One award recognizedour New Dollars trainingprogram, which has now servedseveral hundred congregationsfrom a wide range of faith

traditions. Another celebrated Partners’ work in Pennsylvania,where we established our first regional office. And the thirdawarded our overall record of accomplishment since we werefounded in 1989 (see p. 4). These awards go to Partners’ Boardand staff, of course, but also to the thousands of clergy, laypeopleand community leaders that have supported and advanced ourwork over the years!

This recognition has given us additional energy and impetusat a time when congregations may need Partners’ resources morethan ever before. Given the state of the economy anddemographic changes in both cities and small towns, the struggleof congregations to keep their sacred places alive and vital maybe more difficult—and universal—than at any time before.

One place where the need is especially pressing and urgent isGalveston, of course, where Hurricane Ike flooded much of thishistoric island, forcing most congregations from their homes at atime when their communities need them more than ever. Lastfall we brought together dozens of churches and synagogues—the first organization to do so after the hurricane—to hear storiesof sacrifice and suffering, and to give clergy and laypeople anopportunity to learn from each other and encourage each other.

We heard from pastors who had been living in their cars forweeks, and from laypeople who had to witness the destruction ofkitchens where members made hot breakfasts and lunches forthe hungry, church halls that once served children and seniors,and countless pews where worshippers, concert-goers andcommunity meeting participants once sat.

We brought together some of these congregations once againearly in the new year, this time to announce a series of grantsfrom Partners that would help each of them work with architectsand engineers to plan the repairs and renovations that theirbuildings so desperately need (see p. 9). Once again, theresponse of clergy and laypeople made it clear that Partners isbringing hope and confidence to their congregations. And they,in turn, will have renewed capacity to bring hope and recoveryto their neighborhoods.

In MemoryPartners lost two great friends and supporters of the cause

in 2008: Mrs. Sigrid Berwind and Mrs. Mary Jo Kirk. Sigibecame a Partners’ champion in 1998 when Sacred Places atRisk was first released. She was drawn to Partners because ofher commitment to the welfare and education of children. Shesupported Partners’ work in the Philadelphia region,particularly the innovative programming that manycongregations provide for children and families in theirneighborhoods. Mary Jo was a dedicated volunteer, serving onPartners’ Board of Directors. She embraced Partners’ missionwith passion after an initial introduction by a fellow boardmember. The community value of sacred places drew her in, asdid her involvement with her own parish church and theWashington National Cathedral. We miss them.

Andrew Edwards ReceptionIn October 2008, Partners hosted a reception for Andrew

Edwards, Chief Executive of the National Churches Trust,which is based in London, England. It works to preservehistoric places of worship across the United Kingdom,primarily through grant giving and technical assistance.

Mr. Edwards spoke about the work of his organization,providing numerous comparisons between the NationalChurches Trust (NCT) and Partners for Sacred Places. Moststriking was the fact that both nations face very similar issues.

NCT “focuses on the need to address the growing repairbills, how to channel support to those ‘vulnerable’ churcheswhich lack the social capacity to fundraise and find new uses,and the benefits of mixed and enhanced uses to keepchurches going.” NCT’s work recognizes the immense rolethat churches play in their communities, and that they “areoften the crucial epicenter of their community…reaching outto all ages, races and faiths—or no faiths.” Additionally, they“add essential value to communities through theircontribution to history, architecture and music as well as tolocal identity.”

Partners has worked for the past 20 years to address thesesame issues across the United States. Like NCT, we haveexpanded our grant giving and technical-assistance capabilityin order to better help the communities relying on theirhouses of worship. We continue to seek new ways to reach outto those who need it, and to assess the effectiveness of ourprograms. Hearing about NCT’s work and learning from theirmodels can only help improve Partners’ work.

NCT and Partners have continued the discussion begunduring Mr. Edwards’ visit, and are excited about sharing bestpractices and collaborating in the months to come.

Funding NewsPartners has new funding in hand from:

• The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation• The Dunspaugh-Dalton Foundation• John S. and James L. Knight Donor-Advised Fund at the Dade

Community Foundation• Lilly Endowment Inc.• David and Julia Uihlein Charitable Foundation

Philadelphia Regional Fund Update

In its third year of making grants, thePhiladelphia Regional Fund for Sacred Places(PRFSP) received some of the strongest

applications to date, reflecting the effectiveness ofthe New Dollars/New Partners training program.Since grants are awarded on a 2:1 matching basis,the $360,000 given in this round will support$1,080,000 of preservation projects for five ofPhiladelphia’s historic congregations. As anchorsof their neighborhoods, these churches togetherprovide a subsidy worth $2.4 million each year toservices they house. This year’s grantees representa broad range of religious backgrounds, includingthe first PRFSP grant to a synagogue.

Society Hill SynagogueSociety Hill Synagogue received $80,000 for

critical repairs to the envelope of the sanctuaryand annex. Society Hill Synagogue’s historicbuilding on Spruce Street was designed as aBaptist church in 1829 by Thomas Ustick Walter,who went on to design the dome of the U.S.Capitol Building in the 1850s. Today, the buildingand its congregation host a quintet of

Philadelphia Orchestra members for regularconcerts, a rotating art gallery for local artists, apartnership tutoring program for GeorgeWashington School and several other programs.

The Church of St. Luke and the EpiphanyThe Church of St. Luke and the Epiphany was

given $80,000 for a roof replacement andelectrical wiring project. Housed in a 170-year-oldGreek Revival building in the Washington SquareWest neighborhood of Philadelphia, St. Luke andthe Epiphany is a regular venue for orchestral andchoral concerts, and has long been involved inoutreach to those living with HIV/AIDS andother life threats. Its programming ranges from ahospitality center to a lecture series to financialsupport for school programs and disaster relief.

First Baptist Church of PaschallFirst Baptist Church of Paschall was awarded

$40,000 to replace the boiler, radiators and rearroof of the Administration Building. Since itspurchase of the 1920s-vintage St. Clement’sComplex in 2006, First Baptist Church of Paschall

has been able to greatly expand its community programming inthe Paschall neighborhood of Philadelphia. With formerPhiladelphia mayor Rev. Dr. W. Wilson Goode, Sr., on staff, thechurch has established four community-serving programs withinthe last two years. Serving as a crucial anchor in a neglected areaof the city, First Baptist’s leadership academy, boys’ home, E-3Center (for out-of-school youths) and community space maintaina vital presence in Paschall. The many buildings of the historicSt. Clement’s Complex have become a sprawling communityservice center.

Friends Center CorporationFriends Center Corporation was given $80,000 for window

conservation and life-safety projects. Designated as a NationalHistoric Landmark in 1993, the Race Street Meetinghouse (nowpart of Friends Center Corporation) has existed since 1856 as ahost for a wide array of Quaker and Quaker-related groups. Thenorth meeting room of the meetinghouse has been usedcontinuously for worship for over 150 years, while thesurrounding rooms and buildings have increasingly fosteredorganizations that work for peace and social justice locally,nationally and globally. With grants from the Save America’sTreasures program and Partners’ Philadelphia Regional Fund,Friends Center will be able to maintain its historic site.

St. John the EvangelistSt. John the Evangelist received $80,000 for the exterior

restoration of the Church and Friary, life-safetyimprovements, and restrooms. Before St. John the Evangelistwas built in 1830, Philadelphia lacked the resources to servethe city’s growing number of Catholic households. Today, thecity as a whole benefits from St. John’s own resources of timeand effort. Its most prominent new partner is ProjectH.O.M.E., which will be building and maintaining a majornew facility on St. John’s property to provide transitionalhousing to formerly homeless individuals. Yet this is merelythe latest in a long line of community partnerships that St.John’s has established over the years, including ongoing workwith St. John’s Hospice, Liberty Court (a nursing center andassisted-living facility), Jefferson Hospital and the University ofthe Arts.

Galveston ProjectThe eye of Hurricane Ike, a monstrous storm with winds of at least 110 mph, landed on Galveston, TX, at about 2 a.m. on September 13, 2008, with waves crashing over the 17-foot-high sea wall. Residents

of Galveston were among the one million coastal residents ordered to flee. The storm flooded homes andother buildings, and left the island without electricity, gas, water pressure and basic communications.

Though much of the water receded on the following day, sewage and sludge coated the streets.

There are more than 50 churches and two synagoguesrepresenting almost every major religious denomination on theisland. They have always served as the cornerstone of theGalveston community by providing an array of services rangingfrom feeding programs to athletic organizations for youth. InNovember 2008, staff from Partners visited the island, touredseveral historical facilities and met with congregations to heartheir stories. One pastor shared that she had been living in hercar for two months. Another member cried as she began to talkabout the changes in her church since the storm. Sixty-fiveindividuals representing more than 27 congregations attended a

meeting to learn about the many ways in which we will supporttheir work to repair their buildings and make them active again.

The Texas Regional Office of Partners for Sacred Places hasdedicated its 2009 funding and resources to assist hurricane-affected congregations in Galveston. At a recent public meetinghosted by the Galveston Historical Foundation, Partnersannounced planning grants for 10 congregations to help themwork with architects and contracts. The congregations includeCongregation Beth Jacob, First Baptist Church of Galveston,First Presbyterian Church, First Union Baptist Church ofGalveston, Grace Episcopal Church, Primera Iglesia Bautista,

Feature

Reedy Chapel AME Church, St.Augustine of Hippo, Saint LukeMissionary Baptist Church and WestPoint Baptist Church. Recipients wereselected based on a number of criteriaincluding the historical significance oftheir building as well as their work inproviding human and social serviceprogramming in the community. Inaddition to these planning grants,Partners is also retaining the ChurchRestoration Group, a national leader indisaster recovery services, to performinitial building assessments.

At the grants presentation, Partners’Executive Director A. Robert Jaegerexpressed to the audience the critical rolethat congregations play in stabilizingcommunities, and made clear thatPartners will serve as collaborators in thecongregations’ rebuilding process. “Weare excited that Partners’ initiative isbringing hope and new resources tocongregations. The planning grants weare providing will renew the capacity ofchurches and synagogues to helpGalveston recover from the hurricane.For us, it’s not just about sacred places,but about the vitality and resilience of oneof America’s great historic communities.”

Galveston’s sacred places are assets tothe community and without support,they are unable to be effective andcontinue their legacy of making animpact. As Froswa Booker-Drew, Directorof the Texas Regional Offices says, “Aftervisiting with these congregations and

touring several facilities, I feel even morecompelled to make sure that we workdiligently on behalf of thesecongregations and the City of Galveston.These congregations provide a richhistory and their legacies of making adifference must be continued.”

Funding Brief

How toCope inThisEconomicClimateDuring unpredictablefinancial times, how cancommunity-servingcongregations raisefunds for buildings whileeveryone is trying tocope with suchuncertainty?

Partners recommends adopting theasset-based philosophy that underpinsour New Dollars training program. Take alook at the last issue of Sacred Places(Summer 2008) and the asset-basedcommunity development story (“Asset-Based Community Development: HowShifting a Mindset Can Shift aCongregation’s Future”). If you’ll put onyour asset-based hat the cup will always behalf full. Use this time to make newfriends and broaden your base.

In practical terms, here is some foodfor thought as your congregation forgesahead with your campaign.

!The number one reason that peoplegive is that “someone asked them.”Don’t assume how others will answer—continue to reach out, make your caseand ask them to support you. Nomatter what—ask.

!Nurture your relationships. Increaseopportunities to talk one-on-one.Personally visit members and neighborsto keep them engaged.

!Communicate with your membersmore frequently. Keep everyoneinvolved with updates on the work thathas been completed and what is next.Use email, if available, handwrittencards, or simple newsletters—manyword processing packages offertemplates that are attractive andsimple to use.

!Reach out to all members. Don’t forgetthose whose participation has lapsed.You may not realize the fond memoriesthey still hold for your congregation.One congregation told us that anindividual made a special campaign giftto memorialize his parent, who grew upin the church.

!Return to your current major donorsand ask them for a “special gift.”Explain that during this economicclimate, your usual steady support hasdecreased and ask if they wouldconsider an additional gift to help you.

!As we teach in New Dollars/New Partners:reach out to your community partners,such as:• Civic associations—Rotary,

Lions, community developmentorganizations and neighborhoodassociations.

• Residential neighbors—even thosewho are not members of yourcongregations want to know aboutyour efforts. You and your sacredplace symbolize stability.

• Local businesses and othercommercial neighbors—they mayunderwrite a specific part of yourplans, for example, upgradedlighting, landscaping, or signage, etc.

!Ask your architect to attend a coffeehour with members and partners toprovide an update on your progress.

!Ask your architect or the artisansinvolved (such as firms working on thestained glass or bells) to speak tomembers and neighbors about thearchitectural and historical significanceof your building.

!Reach out to all individuals who utilizeyour space for life events, even if theydid not become members. These eventsinclude wedding parties, christenings,bar and bat mitzvahs, and funerals.

!Consider finding a partner for a specialevent. If you host a food festival forexample, would one of the organizationssharing your building want tocollaborate? Share the expense of theevent and then share the proceeds. Bothof you may identify new friends.

! If your community or locality has artgalleries, libraries, or preservationorganizations, consider a list exchangeof names and addresses for a one-timespecial mailing. One congregation toldus that they are holding an event called“Tea with Tiffany” that will feature a talkabout their stained glass windows. Askthe local art gallery or preservationgroup if they would allow you to invitecontacts on their mailing list.

!Consider extending your pledge periodfor your members as needed. Forexample, instead of paying over fiveyears, allow them to pay over six years.

!Remember to thank everyone.

Building partnerships, recognizingyour assets and connecting with others aretime-tested approaches that Partnersbelieves will help all congregations in thiseconomic climate.


Funding Brief

By: George C. Ruotolo, Jr., CFRE,Ruotolo Associates Inc., and Pamela J.DeLuca, CFRE, Ruotolo Associates Inc.

The following information is providedby Ruotolo Associates Inc. for use byPartners for Sacred Places. It is aresult of the firm’s collectiveexperience over the past 29 yearsduring which time it has worked withclose to 300 churches throughout theUnited States. Ruotolo Associates Inc.is a full-service philanthropicconsulting firm with a specialty ofworking with faith-basedorganizations, parishes andchurches. Our services includestrategic planning, stewardship andincreased income along with capitalcampaign for construction,renovation, programs, andendowment.

Why Do We Have to Make Personal Visits?

Experience tells us that the largestgifts typically come when there is apersonal connection and a personalsolicitation. By making an effort to meetwith an individual, it conveys to themthat they are important to thecongregation and to the success of thecampaign. The face-to-face meeting alsoprovides an opportunity for theprospect to get their questions askedand answered. Your (the volunteer’s)commitment to the effort can beinspirational to the donor and whendone on a peer-to-peer basis, can helpelevate their feeling of being part of thecommunity.

What Should a Solicitor Keep in Mind?!Has he/she made his/her own

pledge/gift to the congregation?! Share your own reasons why the

congregation is important to you: Whyare you passionate about this particularproject or mission?

!Be comfortable with the case materials,and be ready to refer to them whenquestions arise.

!Know as much about the prospectivedonor as possible, including what sizegift they are being asked to consider.

!Listen. The prospect will share a lot ofinformation about themselves duringan open conversation—don’t do all ofthe talking.

!When you are able, be trained by aprofessional and create an individual-ized strategy for each prospectivedonor. The entire case may not appealto everyone but pieces of it will—findwhat will motivate your donor.

!Practice the conversation. Role playwith someone if possible, otherwisewrite down and rehearse your part ofthe conversation.

Making the Ask: Tips for Face-to-Face Solicitation

“All right! All right! If $100 is too much, how about $10?”


When a No Is Not a NoWhen a person is hesitant or gives a

negative response—it is important thatthe solicitor engage in additionalconversation to understand the reasons,concerns, and questions that may beaddressed in a subsequent meeting.

How Do You Get an Appointment withan Individual when Everyone Is SoBusy Today?

It is recommended that a letter besent from the clergy and/or thechairperson of the campaign to let thepotential donor know that you will becalling and that you are doing so onbehalf of the congregation. Thevolunteer should know when the letteris sent and call within a day or two ofarrival. Be prepared to get an answeringmachine or to call back at differenttimes of the day. When setting the actualmeeting, always consider a time andplace that is convenient for the prospectand include the spouse/partner asappropriate. Remember you are askingfor a brief amount of time—30 minutesor so. Stress how important it is to sharethe visual materials and review theirquestions in person.

If there is a close personalrelationship with the potential donor,they may make the appointment withoutan introductory letter.

Also be ready for objections formeeting face to face. Explain that it isimportant to review the details of thecase with each individual in person andto answer his/her questions. Recognizethat they know what is coming—yourpurpose is to make it as easy as possiblefor them to say yes to your request!

Who Should Be at the Meeting?Besides the prospect(s), put thought

into what the solicitation team mightlook like. In many cases, it may beimportant for a member of the clergy tobe there, in others, it may be one of theco-chairs. When there is a teamapproach, it is important that the role ofeach team member is discussed ahead oftime and the person who will make theactual ask is decided upon. Having theright person solicit a donor can be asimportant as the cause itself.

Now That I Have the Appointment, WhatShould I Bring with Me?

Bring the case materials with you aswell as a letter that confirms the askamount for the prospect. If there areopportunities for a commemorative gift,be prepared with that information. Thisis a great example of how someonemight be willing to make a sacrificial giftin order to remember a loved one or aparticularly inspirational spiritual leader.Don’t forget the pledge card!

Every prospect meeting is animportant one and will lead to the overallsuccess of your campaign. Remember todress accordingly and smile. Smilingshows confidence and sets a positive toneto the meeting. Be aware of your bodylanguage but also that of the prospect.Listen attentively; you may have to make adecision not to solicit at that time—theask amount may be too low given theinformation that is shared with you, orthere is personal information shared thattells you they are not ready to be solicited.By giving the prospective donor yourconcentrated attention, you will be ableto further the conversation by askingquestions that define the issues that maybe brought up and get at the heart of anyhesitation they may have.

How Do I Actually Make the “Ask?”Making the ask verbally is the

recommended method, something like“We are asking you to consider a pledgeof $100,000 to be paid over the next 3years.” However, it may not be the mostcomfortable for the volunteer or eventhe prospective donor. There aremethods to use that allow a solicitor toshow a pyramid of gifts that will benecessary to reach the goal of thecampaign and indicate to the prospectwhere on the pyramid they mightconsider a multi-year pledge. Or use a 3-year pledge chart that was created forthe campaign with the range of gifts youwould like the individual to consider.This will provide helpful information tothe donor in terms of what a paymentschedule may look like for that size gift.Remember that once you have made theask, no matter the method, remainsilent. Give the donor time to thinkabout the gift. If you need to jumpstartthe conversation, ask them what theyare thinking. The purpose is to get themtalking about their gift/pledge, not you.

Next steps.If the person agrees to a specific gift,

and it is deemed appropriate relative tothe ask, thank them and ask them if theywould complete the pledge card/sheet.Then report this information to the officeso the donor can receive a “thank you”letter. If the person says “no,” it isimportant to determine what they aresaying no to: the amount, the project, orother issues? In many cases, a no is notfinal; the passage of time and the sharingof additional information can turn thatnegative response into a pledge. If aperson says, “I need to think about it,” itis important that the solicitor establishes amutually agreeable date and time tofollow up and learn of the decision.

Drafting a lease is not a mere formality. The more building ownershave considered the issues specific to their space, their needs, andthe needs of their potential tenants, the more helpful an attorney

can be in putting together a lease that clearly spells out the agreementbetween landlord and tenant.

Karen Sherman, a principal of the Law Offices of Karen Sherman,acknowledges that in New York City, where space is at a premium, it is easyto sell off real estate or development rights. But she encouragescongregations seeking extra income to first try to retain their buildings asassets for themselves and their communities. Once a group had decided torent some of its space, she says, it is important to think carefully about whichparts of its property it wants to release for that purpose. Long-term leasesthat grant exclusive rights to sections of a property are better incomeproducers, but that may or may not be an appropriate arrangement for allgroups.

Before a congregation actually finds a tenant, members should evaluatetheir property. First, Sherman says, any environmental issues in the buildingmust be determined and dealt with. She specifically cites the presence oflead paint as an example common to older houses of worship. Other issuesof liability and insurance should also be considered; Sherman mentions thatin some cases, congregations may have loans that restrict the use of theirspace in certain ways.

It is important to understand some key administrative, operational, andfinancial issues before a lease is put together. Religious organizations mayneed to determine who is able to approve such legal documents. In NewYork State, older congregations may be organized under the “religiouscorporation law” rather than the more familiar and modern “nonprofitorganization.” That’s an important distinction, because the sale, mortgage,or lease of property by religious corporations is, in many cases, overseen bythe court system. In a nonprofit organization, control stays within theorganization.

From a financial standpoint, Sherman says that prior to drafting a lease, itis necessary to understand and budget for any additional costs that maycome with renting a space. For instance, there may be safety issues that willneed to be corrected before a tenant moves in, a congregation may need topay a staff member to manage the space, or an outside cleaning service mayneed to be engaged.

Sherman advises potential landlords to formulate a conflict-of-interestpolicy early in the process. That way, everyone knows from the beginninghow entwined the landlord’s constituents and the tenant’s constituents arepermitted to be. Says Sherman, “Do you want to be able to provideadditional services (the tenant might need) or just lease the space?”

Sherman says that it is a good idea to try to get a feel for the stability ofthe potential tenant organization. “You need to meet the executive director,and you should also meet with members of the board.” The goal, saysSherman, is to find out how long those people have been with theorganization, what the organization’s turnover rate is like, and who theirconstituents are. “You want to be very clear that you are sharing space withthis finite group, and not with affiliated groups—or if you are, you need tocommunicate that. This will all be documented in your lease or licenseagreement.”

DRAFTING A LEASE: Establishing a Clear LeaseAgreements for Shared Space

Building Brief

By Amy Radbill, reprinted with permissionfrom Common Bond, a New York Landmarks Conservancy publicationwww.nylandmarks.org/Publications.php

Issues to Consider in Drafting a Lease• Which services or accommodation will be

provided for a tenant. (Will janitorial servicesbe provided? Will the space be modified forthe tenant?)

• How much noise is permissible in thebuilding, and at what times.

• How shared spaces will be cared for. (Who cleans the kitchen? Does everyone pitchin, or is an outside service hired to do it?)

• How lines of communication will workbetween landlord and tenant, especially inregard to emergencies.

• Access the landlord will have to the rental space.

• A clear description of the space so that anyonecan understand what it looks like and howlarge it is.

• Specific questions regarding daily use of the space:" What hours will the tenants be in the space?" How is the use of shared space determined?

Is it on a first-come, first-served basis, or arecongregation members given priority?

" When do groups need to be out of thebuilding?

" Who will lock the building at the end of the day?

" Will there be a sign-in and sign-out chart torecord people’s movement in and out of thebuilding?

Patrick J.Murphy &AssociatesOrganBuilders

Patrick J. Murphy remembers clearly the day his father had a record by renownedorganist Virgil Fox playing on the home stereo: “My mom wasn’t home, so thestereo was really loud and the whole house was reverberating. The big bass notes of

the instrument were making the house shake and I thought ‘What’s that?’ I was just reallyknocked out by it.” He was fifteen, and soon thereafter he decided he wanted to be anorganist. In order to really know the instrument, he began learning how to tune organs asan apprentice to a local organ builder. After a few years, his employer told Murphy thathe already knew more than his mentor, and that in order to become a master organbuilder, Murphy had to go study elsewhere. Murphy went on to get a Bachelor of Musicdegree in organ performance from Ohio Wesleyan University. He quickly realized,though, that he no longer wanted to be an organist, that his interests lay more in theinstrument and its complexities. As early as high school, he was doodling designs for pipeorgans because he had “developed a good sense of what worked musically.” These days,the scope of his pipe organ work is greatly expanded, ranging from design, construction,rehabilitation, and maintenance in cities and towns across the country.

The first thing one notices upon entering the Patrick J. Murphy & Associates OrganBuilders studio in Stowe, PA, is the smell of wood being cut and sanded. Craftsmen in thelight-filled woodshop are busy making consoles for new organs and refurbishing largewooden pipes the height and diameter of a small tree. There are pipe organs everywhere,in various states of construction and deconstruction—open crates filled with metal pipesas small as a pencil, rescued orphans awaiting a new home, the skeletal beginnings of anew organ—and tools of the trade unique to the industry.

As Murphy says, “No two pipe organs are alike: whether the room [it’s placed in] hasgood acoustics or bad acoustics, whether the organ is placed in a chamber or isfreestanding, if it’s in a case or out of the way where the sound doesn’t get out.” All ofthese variables are taken into account in order to create a successful installation.

Most jobs begin with a day-long site visit, during which Murphy tries to get a feel forthe organ and its space by “looking into the room, judging what kind of ‘canvas’ I have towork with. Then I have to figure out what [the client’s] needs are.” This is followed up bya meeting to determine how the two parties can best achieve the desired results. Murphyadds, “I go in [to the meeting] with some preconceived notions of [what I would do, but]I don’t reveal these ideas until I talk further with the client. If we’re diametrically opposed[in our goals for the organ] I have to decide if we can come closer. We all have to worktogether towards a common musical goal and concepts.”


Patrick J. Murphy & AssociatesOrgan Builders is one of the oldestmembers of Partners’ ProfessionalAlliance, having joined in 2000. Itsstudio and offices are located at 300 Old Reading Pike in Stowe, PA.For more information about the company and its work, call 610-970-9817, or go towww.PJMorgans.com.

A written proposal follows, whichoutlines the scope of work that Murphyrecommends, and could involvesomething basic, like a simple upgrade,to more extensive work like recasting oreven replacement. Murphy hasdeveloped a reputation for hispreservation work, especially in thePhiladelphia, PA, area. He is clear,though, that just because a pipe organis old doesn’t make it a wonderfulinstrument. He is careful to suggestenhancements along historic lines asappropriate. There are times when anorgan is not doing its job, which,according to Murphy, is to “excite and

soothe.” In situations like this, when areplacement organ is warranted,Murphy’s team is able to handle thatchallenge as well.

In fact, Patrick J. Murphy & AssociatesOrgan Builders may be the only fullservice company of its kind in theDelaware Valley of southeasternPennsylvania. The firm is affiliated withthe American Institute of Organ Builders(AIO), and is one of only 30 companiesnationwide qualified to belong to theAssociated Pipe Organ Builders ofAmerica (APOBA).

Murphy is well aware how labor-intensive pipe organ work is. While the

requirements for each project areunique, most jobs average between twoand four months in duration. Largerprojects will require more time.Installation alone takes two weeks ofworking almost twelve-hour days.Murphy’s expertise and experienceenables him to design an instrument inhis head, but once it’s installed by histrained staff, reality begins. He mustthen spend time fine tuning, tweakingand polishing the sound, or “fit andfinish,” so that the pipe organ deliversmaximum effect when played—that themusic excites and soothes those whoare fortunate to hear it played.

Professional Alliance Spotlight

Murphy’s Top TenGeneral Rules of Thumb for the Care and Maintenance of Pipe Organs

Excerpted from an article written by Shen Shellenberger, originally written for Partners for Sacred Places


• Get yourself a good organtechnician/tuner. Word-of-mouthrecommendations can be very useful,so contact other churches and get thenames of technicians that work inyour area. Be sure that the person is aqualified full-time technician for pipeorgans, not electronic organs.

• Unless you are dissatisfied with theservice you are receiving, do notbring in a new tuner or technicianwhen you change organists. It is moreconstructive to maintain a longlasting relationship with a technicianthat is familiar with your instrumentthan it is to attempt to satisfy thewishes of a new organist.

• Most pipe organs do not need to betuned more than twice a year. Theoptimum time to tune is with thechange of seasons. Tuning more thanfour times a year is notrecommended. Be sure that theworking area where the organmechanism is located is well lit inorder for the tuner to properlyservice the instrument. Also, set theheat or air conditioning in the roomto the temperature used when theorgan is most often played.

• Pay attention to the condition of theorgan chamber and condition of theorgan’s pipes. Dramatic changes intemperature, falling plaster and un-insulated outside walls will all have anadverse effect on the organ’s sound.Though not necessary to keep thechamber heated when the organ isnot being played, it is important toallow the room to come up to thenormal temperature setting slowlyand before the organ is used.

• Proper humidity is key, and shouldrange between 35–40%. Excessdampness can cause a host ofproblems, and overly dry conditionsallow the wood and othercomponents to dry out.

• Do not use the organ chamber as astorage space. It will make it difficultfor a tuner to work on theinstrument, and increases the chanceof an accident occurring, resulting indamage to the organ.

• Be sure to have adequate and up-to-date insurance on your organ. Do notlump the coverage for the instrumentunder the “contents” section of yourpolicy. Instead, attach a separate riderto cover the organ. Have theinstrument regularly appraised by aknowledgeable organ builder toascertain that the cost for“replacement in like, kind, andmaterials” is up to date.

• Avoid the temptation to hanganything on the façade pipes.Though they may appear sturdy, whatis behind them is probably moredelicate.

• The blower, which supplies air intothe organ’s bellows and windchestscausing the pipes to sound, shouldideally be located in the same roomas the organ itself. This room shouldbe kept clean and dry as excessivedust and dirt are damaging elementsthat will be sucked into theinstrument. Blowers need very littlein the way of routine maintenance:oiling once a year and occasionalcleaning of motor armatures, pluschecking on the blower bellows isadequate. An electrical technicianthat specializes in servicing largemotors, not an organ technician,must perform any electrical workrequired for motor repairs.

• When considering any major work onyour building—construction,remodeling, roofing, painting,HVA/C work, installation of sprinklersystems, etc.—consult your organtechnician before any workcommences. Dust and dirt are anorgan’s worst enemies.

Information Clearinghouse

Holy Places: MatchingSacred Space with Missionand Message is a guide forcongregations who areinvolved with, or areplanning, work on theirfacilities. While the book isnot geared specifically torenovation andrehabilitation of historicplaces, there isinformation that allcongregations can useand learn from.

Drawing on theirexperience with theIndianapolis Center forCongregations, authorsNancy DeMott, TimShapiro and Brent Billrecommend three keysteps to determining how best to synchronize the spiritualgoals of a congregation with the concrete spaces they occupy:Discern, Decide and Do.

Discern focuses on helping congregations determine who theyare, who their demographics are, and how to define their mission.Part 2, Decide, helps readers figure out the “what,” includingcritical points like “What Service Providers Will We Use?” and“What Sources of Funding Will We Use?” The final section of thebook, Do, offers advice for when the work has been undertaken,such as how to communicate effectively with the community, andhow best to ensure the work is getting done properly.

The authors provide myriad real-life examples to helpillustrate the process they outline. There are also sevenappendices that provide helpful supplementary informationon topics such as facilities assessments and working witharchitects and contractors, as well as a glossary of key termsand a resources section that refers readers to Partners forSacred Places. In sum, this book is a very helpful reference forany congregation undertaking a major construction project.
