Alumni/ae Council

ian,david The Alumni/ae Council works to strengthen the relations among alumni/ae and with current Disciples Divinity House Scholars, and thus to support the work of the Disciples Divinity House.

Every other year the Council hosts a luncheon for alumni/ae and friends at the General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). This year it will be held on August 1 in Indianapolis. Don Browning will be honored at the luncheon with the Distinguished Alumnus/a Award.

Past projects include planning for the celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Chapel of the Holy Grail. For the occasion, they initiated a collection of prayers by alumni/ae and trustees, which was published as Winged Words: Prayers for Common Worship & Common Life.
