Disciples History announces plans to honor Cynthia Hale By the Rev. Dr. Glenn Carson, Disciples of Christ Historical Society Continuing its tradition of naming rooms to honor those who have served the Church with distinction, Disciples History will create the Cynthia L. Hale Hospitality Suite inside its headquarters in Nashville, Tenn. The Thomas W. Phillips Memorial Archives, home to Disciples of Christ Historical Society, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Design and construction of the Hale Hospitality Suite will begin later this year with opening and dedication scheduled for 2015. The suite will surround a Welcoming Table which will serve as a central gathering space for guests and staff. A former President of the National Convocation and a member of the 21st Century Vision Team of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the Rev. Dr. Cynthia Hale is the founding pastor of Ray of Hope Christian Church in Decatur, Ga. She has served widely and has been recognized numerous times for her service. In addition to her appointment by President Barack Obama to the Presidents Commission on White House Fellowships, she is a member of boards overseeing both higher education and ministry. Hale was honored in 2012 by Ebony Magazine and by the National Urban League in 2011. She is also a Life Member of Disciples of Christ Historical Society. Arnold Nelson, chairman of the Board of Disciples History, said Cynthia Hale is a model for a warm, Christian welcome, and we believe that placing her name within our beautiful building will enhance our already well-known spirit of hospitality. For information on participating in the creation of the Hale Hospitality Suite, contact President Glenn Carson at [email protected] or call 866-834-7563.
