Six metropolitan Atlanta area churches plus the Catholic Archdiocese have
recently formed a non-profit housing corporation known as Interfaith, Inc:

The objective of the corporation is to help improve housing conditions through-
out the metropolitan area, with emphasis on sponsorship of new or rehabili-
tated housing for low and moderate income families.

The six churches that are the founding members, in addition to the Archdio-
cese, are: St. Bartholomew's Episcopal; St. Bede's Episcopal; Church of
the Atonement, United Presbyterian; Church of the Master, United Presby-
terian; Trinity Presbyterian Church; and the Unitarian Universalist Congre- _

, gation of Atlanta. In addition, Christ Church, United Presbyterian, joined

at the initial meeting.

Additional members are welcome, Members can be churches, religious or-
ganizations, and similar institutions, Each member organization designates
the individual who will represent it on the Board of Trustees of the corporation.

At the organizational meeting of the corporation held by the Trustees in De-
cember, by-laws were adopted, and the following officers were elected to

,serve until the annual meeting on January 30th: John Steinichen III, Chairman

and President; Noel Burtenshaw, Secretary; and Chester Marty, Treasurer.

Inc, The organization desiring membership must officially endorse participa-
tion in the corporation and designate its representative on the Board of Trus-
tees, A majority vote of the existing members is required to add new members.

The by-laws also provide for Associate Members, These are organizations
that cannot pay the annual membership dues of $100. Associate Members will
not have representation on the Board of Trustees or a vote on policies, al-
though they can otherwise participate in corporate meetings and activities.

Individual Member organizations have no financial obligations other than the
membership dues, Legal liabilities are limited to the corporation and do not
extend to the Members. The Trustees have neither financial nor legal liabili-
ties as individuals,
