  • The Atlanta Preservation Center's
    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

  • Georgia and the Franco – American Treaty of Alliance
    Georgia and the Franco – American Treaty of Alliance THE GATE OCTOBER 10, 2015 The inaugural Middelthon-Candler Gala was held when the Millennium Gate Museum (The Gate) opened in 2008. Matthew Middelthon, a descendant of Coca-Cola founder Asa G. Candler, established the Middelthon-Candler Peace, Justice, and Millennium Gate Awards to continue the family’s stewardship of the state of Georgia. All proceeds from the gala are used to further the mission of The Gate. The theme of the 2015 Gala commemorates the 240th anniversary of the American Revolution, the Franco-American Treaty of Alliance, and its significance to the Colony of Georgia. The treaty, first enacted at the Second Siege of Savannah ultimately assured American independence from Great Britain. 2015 Middelthon-Candler Award Categories Peace Award Honors leadership in the promotion of fraternity between peoples and nations. Justice Award Honors leadership in effecting positive social change. Millennium Gate Award Honors excellence in the arts, sciences, or business. “The Millennium Gate Museum is a vital non-profit to our community.

  • Trinity on Mission
    JANUARY 2015 ISSUE 1| VOLUME XXIV TRINITY ON MISSION HELPING TO MAKE GOD’S LOVE VISIBLE IN ATLANTA, THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, AND AROUND THE WORLD. PAGE 1 MISSIONS: JOINING IN GOD’S TRANSFORMATIVE WORK How have you engaged in Mission at Trinity Church over the past year? Have you found yourself swinging a hammer in the fall on a Habitat build? Maybe you enjoy being a homework buddy in D building at Trinity with the Agape children? Have you spent an hour or so delivering meals to frail or homebound seniors? Perhaps you’ve had an opportunity to journey to Haiti or Cuba? We have a rich tradition of ministry at Trinity Church, and powerful mission continues to take place in and through you—the PEOPLE who are Trinity Church. Building on the strength and legacy of Mission Ministries here at Trinity, our goal is to engage every member in an activity that brings fullness to their lives while helping to Make God’s Love Visible in our community and beyond. Because of our desire to increase our impact in the world while faithfully being good stewards our resources, the Mission Council decided to reexamine our ministry model. One of the major themes we noticed was that our budget drove our ministry, in many respects, rather than our ministry shaping the budget. We spent a great deal of time discussing, debating, and praying about the mission budget. Our funding last year supported forty-four organizations; while each of these organizations does wonderful work, the practical side of supporting forty- four organizations means a lot of paperwork, checks, and balances—not the best use of our resources! It’s also too many relationships to effectively maintain, which we believe is key to good mission work.

  • Japan & Georgia 40Th Anniversary
    JAPAN & GEORGIA 40TH ANNIVERSARY Millennium Gate Museum March 28, 2014 1 2 The Millennium Gate Museum in Atlanta, Georgia is the winner of the 2006 Palladio Award for design of a public space and showcases world-class architecture and art that draws visitors from around the globe. It is located in a 101-foot tall monumental arch and is situated on axis with 17th Street in the Atlantic Station development. People are drawn to the arch not only for its beauty, but also for its setting at the edge of a park with a three acre lake. It is embellished with sculptural allegory honoring peaceful accomplishment over the last 2000 years and is the largest classical monument to be built since the construction of the Jefferson Memorial. The Millennium Gate Museum is not only a work of art, but also a cutting edge educational tool. The museum tells Georgia’s story through interactive technology, film, and exhibitions. 18th Century Georgia Pioneer Gallery Beginning with Native American history and Spanish settlement of the coast, the Georgia Pioneer Gallery focuses on General Oglethorpe’s creation of the Colony of Georgia and the enlightenment ideals that were so instrumental in its inception. The gallery contains documents and historical artifacts from the Native Indian, Spanish, British Colonial, and American Revolutionary periods that complement and add dimension to the museum’s history exhibit panels. 19th and 20th Century Galleries The galleries narrate the story of Atlanta’s and Georgia’s early history and the bold leadership that has helped them jointly grow into one of the most important destinations in the world.
