Editor's Note: This series of posts on Acts 15 is written by guest teacher David Hundert. Thanks, David! The series of five posts begins here.
Saying "goodbye" is rarely easy, especially when it comes on the heels of brokenness. Maybe you've experienced one of those goodbyes. As we continue the story of Acts 15, the Apostle Paul has a goodbye like that.
Let's take a moment to review what have we seen so far in Acts 15. Men tried to cause division within the church at Antioch. The church responded by asking for help from church leadership in Jerusalem. There the apostles and elders called a council to respond to the dispute. At the council, both sides said their piece, and a biblical answer, acceptable to both parties, was reached. The council then issued their findings in the form of a letter, and they sent the original committee from Antioch back, with two additional members from the leadership council, to present its decision to the Church in Antioch as well as to the Christians in that part of the world.
I have been so blessed to be a part of the EC Church, because like the interaction between Jerusalem and Antioch, the EC Church is firmly rooted in following biblical standards and tries to apply Scripture to every situation that may arise. Like the early Church, our denomination's leadership will send delegates to a congregation and to our annual National Conference to help sort out the tough issues and find a biblical solution.
In the process of finding their resolution, and as a good example for all of us, when the disagreement arose in Antioch, the Jerusalem council's solution was delivered with, and was evidently full of grace. They council could have issued an edict and it would have driven the church apart. Instead they found a solution that worked for everyone.
So how does the chapter end? With another disagreement! Read Acts 15, verses 36-41, and we learn that, "Sometime later," Paul suggests to Barnabas that they revisit all of the towns where the Word of the Lord was preached. However, John Mark winds up as the center of a conflict between the two.
First off, it is possible that Mark is Barnabas' relative (see Colossians 4:10, although ancient sources dispute if the Mark mentioned in Acts 15 is the same Mark mentioned in Colossians 4:10). Barnabas wanted to take him along with them, but Paul didn't want him to come, because Paul felt as though John had abandoned them in Pamphylia during their first missionary tour (see Acts 13:13).
Second, it is possible that there was an additional source of tension between Paul and Barnabas. Paul would go on to write in Galatians 2:11–13 of an incident that took place in Antioch. Evidently, after the Jerusalem Conference, Peter and Barnabas gave in to pressure from "certain men from James", and they withdrew from the table of fellowship with the Gentiles. Paul sharply confronted Peter on that occasion for his "hypocrisy" and was none too happy with Barnabas for following Peter's example. Even though Paul had now been sufficiently reconciled to Barnabas to request his companionship on this mission, there may have been a lingering wound.
Regardless, Paul did eventually become reconciled to John, and mentioned him as a coworker in several of his letters referring to him as "Mark". And standing in the background was Barnabas, always the encourager, showing faith in Mark, when the others had lost theirs, and ironically for Paul, eventually redeemed him. Barnabas and Mark then departed for further work on Cyprus.
Though disagreements are regrettable, at least in this instance there was a fortunate outcome. Now there were two missions instead of one. Paul needed a suitable replacement for a traveling companion, so he chose Silas.
For this journey, Paul had pretty much made the decision to go, on his own. However, just like the first mission, he had the support of the Antiochan church and was commended by the brothers and sisters there to the grace of the Lord, for his new journey. Paul and Silas headed north from Antioch by foot and visited the churches of Syria and Cilicia along the way. Since the "apostolic decrees" were originally addressed to all the churches in Syria and Cilicia, one would assume that Paul and Silas shared these with them. This is all the more likely, since Silas, was one of the two originally appointed by the church in Jerusalem, to deliver the decrees.
What we see in this story is that God can always redeem even the most difficult situations. Is this a case of Paul or Barnabas being stubborn? Unwilling to forgive? Possibly? Should they have handled their disagreement better? Possibly. Disagreements can be complex and conflicted. What will it look like for us to be people who choose humility and forgiveness?

Behind the Dust is a new visual series led by emerging Muslimah mediamakers telling their own stories behind the dust of mainstream narratives about their communities.
There is so much noise that our experiences and perspectives are often shrouded by layers of dust. These are layers that continue to falsify our narratives and further silence our words. The goal of this project is to create a more reflective mediascape that is nuanced and emerges powerfully from the dust of stories that serve to keep us invisible, or pathologize our experiences. Behind the Dust is a chance for racialized and Muslimah mediamakers to take control of the narrative through beautifully rendered visual photography and documentary video.
Over the course of the year, four to eight visual storytellers will be chosen to create work that brings these experiences to the forefront. These can be in response to actions that have happened in your community, or they can be in-depth looks into themes and heroes that've inspired you — in any space or community. Be creative, open and honest in your proposal. Tell us why you've chosen these topics, and how you will approach them.
As a participant, you will work with the project team who will support the selected visual storytellers in creating photography pieces, videography pieces, and/or written works.
You will be compensated $250+ for producing visual content for This is Worldtown.
The works created by all participants will be showcased on www.thisisworldtown.com and select works will be exhibited during two events throughout the year.
You will have the chance to be matched with a mentor and to partake in a Toronto-based mentorship sessions.
Intentionally build a network of Muslim and BIWOC visual storytellers across Canada and be introduced to a host of resources and media companies and practitioners that can support your media arts practice in the future.
The priority for this project is woman-identified Muslim media makers* between 18-35 and visual storytellers across Canada, however, we are open to proposals from all Black, Indigenous, Women of Colour mediamakers in Canada. Your project can explore an array of topics and is not limited to only looking at issues of Muslims or Race in the country. What's important is the depth and creativity that comes out in your proposal.
Check out some of our previous features to get inspired on Love and Intimacy in Kenya; Mother-Daughter relationships in the Sudanese diaspora; or the women of the Colonias on the US-Mexico Border.
We, at This is Worldtown, recognize that cisgendered women are not the only kind of woman that exists in the world, and we find language limiting of people's experiences. This project (and all of our calls) is open to submissions from trans women, gender non-conforming folks, and gender diverse people who identify closer to feminine rather than masculine.
The mentorship sessions and events will be based in Toronto, but I live outside of the city. Can I still receive the same support?
While this project is open to submissions from all over Canada, the majority of the physical programming will be held in Toronto. It is a requirement for all applicants who live outside of Toronto to have access to a strong internet connection and can participate through video calls or phone calls. If you are matched with a mentor, you will connect with them virtually. Unfortunately, we do not currently have funds to support travel for this project.
I have work that's already in development, can I still apply?
Yes! Just share what you're working on in your proposal.
I am interested in applying for both photography and videography.
What are some key things to think about?
What are the stories that I wish to tell? Have I seen other versions of them? How is my project or practice expanding new narratives and storylines?
What do I need to expand my project?
Am I looking for access or entry into media that doesn't reflect my experience?
Complete an application by October 29th, 2017 at 11.59pm through this link.

New to Blu: August 31 – September 6
It's a Blu-ray binge-watching bonanza this week with Captain America: Civil War vs a raft of mostly top TV series: The People vs OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, Better Call Saul (season 2), Blindspot (s1), Hemlock Grove (s3) and The Big Bang Theory (s9).
The Blu-ray of Captain America: Civil War goes on sale here in 2D and 3D editions ahead of the US with these exclusive extras:
United We Stand, Divided We Fall – The Making of Captain America: Civil War
Captain America: The Road to Civil War: Explore the First Avenger's evolution from loyal soldier to seasoned, conflicted hero
Iron Man: The Road to Civil War: Delve into the development and evolution of one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Audio commentary with directors Anthony and Joe Russo, and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely
Open Your Mind: Marvel's Doctor Strange preview.
Also landing here ahead of the US is Better Call Saul: Season Two. It, too, abounds in extras, ranging from cast and crew commentaries on all of the 10 episodes and enough Blu-ray exclusives to warrant a bonus disc (although it includes only two 10-minute behind-the-scenes shorts).
"Blindspot appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.78:1 on this Blu-Ray Disc. From start to finish, the episodes looked good.
"No significant issues with sharpness developed. Some wider elements seemed a bit soft, but those instances didn't dominate, so the shows usually provided crisp, distinctive visuals."
"Motivations and allegiances may remain murky throughout Blindspot, but the image is always clear, even more so on Blu-ray than in the broadcast versions I watched.
"Warner's TV division continues to employ low bitrates, with the average on Blindspot hovering around 16 Mbps, although the rate routinely spikes upward as the action accelerates.
"The encoding appears to be capable, and the image is free of visible artifacts, but Warner should follow Sony's example and expand its full TV seasons to five discs."
"Series creator and writer Martin Gero and teams up with director Mark Pellingham for an optional commentary track on the pilot episode.
"Between patting each other on the back, the pair offers a nice introduction to the series and marvels how they were able to get their first choice for every cast and production member.
"Spread out among the four Blu-ray discs in the package are 19 deleted scenes (explained by Mr Gero) and almost an hour 's worth of featurettes spearheaded by [star Jaimie] Alexander and creators talking about the show at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con."
"The Nice Guys' 5.1 soundtrack, encoded in lossless DTS-HD MA, provides the expected punch and power of a contemporary action film that includes gunplay, car chases and hand-to-hand combat."
"Warner Bros. provides a crisp, clear 1080p presentation that never wavers in quality. Whether the image is bathed in shadows or awash with Los Angeles sun, it never appears to have any problems whatsoever."
"Criminal makes a run for it on Blu-ray with a fantastic, near-reference 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode that remains true to the heavily stylised photography of Dana Gonzales, which terrifically complements the film's tone and theme."
"This is an often commendably sharp and very well detailed presentation, at least when it ventures into natural light and when sequences have not been variously colour graded."
"Miles Ahead was primarily photographed on 16mm film. The gritty and grainy façade translates beautifully to Blu-ray.
"The filmic texturing and the steady and somewhat thick, but complimentary, grain structure beautifully hovers atop the image."
"Miles Ahead has a very lively, bright, and colourful visual approach, and the 1080p transfer recaptures that look perfectly, without any video noise or colour bleeding.
"Especially during transitions and surreal episodes where the past and the present collide, your screen will come alive."

SYNERGY PART II | January 6 – January 30 |
A Collaboration between the Art League of Rhode Island and Scientists from WHOI
Artists' Statements:
Chris Maynard: Piercing the Veil, Blue & Gold Macaw primary wing feathers
Indigenous people who live next to the salt waters of the far northwest USA and through British Columbia and Alaska both on the surface of the waters to get from here to there and receive their sustenance from the waters below.
This world above the waters has been described as something of an illusion, the surface being the veil covering a more real world below.
Deb Ehrens: Marine Heatwaves Installation, kinetic sculpture, fabric
Scientists: Caroline Ummenhofer and Svenja Ryan
As these kinetic sculptures spin, imagine the immense circulating air masses and ocean currents that drive our climate. Come close. Look for the visual stories connecting today's climate science to New England's whaling past and the impact of marine heatwaves on our fisheries, marine ecosystems, and biodiversity.
In the world of oceanography, marine heatwaves are a recently "discovered" phenomenon and they are becoming more intense and more frequent. This Marine Heatwaves Installation is a creative art and science collaboration. My partner scientists, Caroline Ummenhofer, Svenja Ryan, and I began the project with months of conversation about our scientific and artistic processes. We were surprised and delighted at the many similarities and spoke in-depth about the challenges of creating visual representations of complex ideas and data. I asked both Caroline and Svenja "What is the driving force that makes you dive into these massive data sets, travel to polar regions, and seek out new data from the past?" When they both replied, 'the thrill of discovery!" I realized then that my partner scientists are direct descendants of naturalist explorers who used ink and pen for journal entries and illustrations. Today, the tools are different, but the quest is the same. This project made me an explorer too. Early on I envisioned large moving forms to capture the big systems and big data at the heart of climate research. But to execute what I imagined, I had to explore and expand my art practice to include kinetic sculpture and three-dimensional design on fabric.
Each heatwave begins with a color gradient that is commonly used to convey oceanographic data. I wove data generated by Svenja's computer models in and around 19th-century drawings of creatures impacted by marine heatwaves and layered computer code into whaling log entries of historical weather recordings that are compared with climate models. To create depth and texture I embedded graphs, charts, scientific instruments, and satellite photos of marine heatwaves into the design. The heatwave imagery is intentionally both large and small scale because we want to intrigue from a distance and invite viewers to come close and explore. This macro/micro viewing experience mirrors how both scientists and artists dive deep into rabbit holes on their way to seeing the big picture.

Dye-painted stenciled cotton; wool, silk, rayon and cotton applique. Machine quilted. Underwater organic fragments emerge, recede, float and overlap. Stitching enhances the contrast of textures and colors to suggest something new, a mystery originating from the play of water on the rocks.
Ellen Biegert: Turbulence, mixed media
Scientist: Larry J. Pratt, PHD
Through this collaboration we explored ways to translate science through art to interpret and provide a visual connection to the turbulence of the ocean. Shapes and patterns were developed based on scientific understanding and used to give a visual feeling of movement. The process to develop Turbulence involved conveying knowledge and artistic process, exploring visual representation, and communication during development to help us both grow through collaboration. Ultimately the goal was to express the beauty and complexity of turbulence through the lens of creativity, to strengthen the connection between science, art, humanity and the environment.
TOP OF THE DRAWING
Turbulence takes the ocean movement and interprets the commotion through texture, rhythm and pattern to give the feeling of the expansive water bodies with layers of varying activity. It translates the complexity of motions from the microscopic to the basin scale by exploring the different scales with texture.
At the ocean surface, winds and unstable currents create a layer of elevated turbulence. The surface waters are also driven towards polar regions, where they are cooled and may sink to great depth. Some of the sinking occurs in turbulent "chimneys" that carry heat and dissolved carbon dioxide into the deep ocean, consequently buffering the effects of global atmospheric warming.
MIDDLE OF THE DRAWING
Although all levels of the ocean experience turbulence, movement in the stratified middle layers is less turbulent, and more wave-like, than at the surface or bottom.
BOTTOM OF THE DRAWING
Water that sinks in the polar regions collects in currents that run along the bottom, from one ocean basin to another. These waters slowly rise back to the surface as part of an overturning cycle that may take 1000 years or more to complete. Turbulence in the deep limbs of this overturning circulation is generated where these currents encounter bumps on the ocean floor and is especially intense in deep passages such as the Denmark Strait and Samoan Passage. Turbulence is also generated by the action of the tides, causing water to slosh across the rough bottom, leading to strange, up-hill flows along the flanks of mid-ocean ridges.
This piece features a glass buoyancy sphere. Utilized by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, this device has an important role in gathering information from the deep ocean and is used to keep instruments straight and capable of returning to the surface. This sphere has spent time in the ocean, subject to the enormous pressures and turbulent motions endured by deep-sea moorings and has emerged with scars from its undertaking.
On this sphere is etched some of the turbulence it has endured. The movement and interconnectedness of our oceans and global waters is interpreted as seen from above. Driven by winds and earths turning the waters circulate on the surface before sinking deep in the polar regions. The patterns distinguish major currents and areas with more turbulence while conveying the continual mixing and motion throughout the entire surface.
Heather Stivison: Visualizing the Unseen, Four paintings created in collaboration with chemical ocean scientist, Noah Germolus.
My scientist partner Noah Germolus is researching into ocean metabolites (amino acids, nucleosides, vitamins, etc.) to better understand the "life cycle" of these basic building blocks of life. Specifically, he is studying the chemical data he sampled from four distinct ocean locations, In Visualizing the Unseen, I use visual cues of color, shape, and form to "describe" the ocean ecosystem of these four data-collection zones. My goal is to offer more than a list of the various concentrations of chemicals that Germolus found, or to merely illustrate his data. My artworks are visual abstractions of his findings to help us imagine the life cycles that go unseen, beneath the surface. I abstract the information in ways that may offer an emotional resonance with and understanding of the relationships between the chemicals, microbes, and the specific and varied ocean ecosystem in which they exist.
Coastal Surface: Community. 4´5 feet, Oil over Acrylic on Canvas.
Here the background–essentially an underpainting—visualizes of the data collected from coastal surface water off Cape Cod. I use wild colors, and interactions of lines and shapes, and sense of movement to suggest the activity in water that, to any person walking on the beach, would appear clear and empty. I aim for a sense of immediacy and uncontrived mark making in the first layers of paint to describe active water, that is full of movement, rich with vibrant mixtures of both land-derived molecules and oceanic molecules. Colors run randomly, ripple, and interconnect in community alliances to express the groupings of unseen molecular activity. Coastal water is a place where storms can bring run-off of land-derived molecules that interact with the communities of molecules native to the water. Toxic algal blooms can occur here when human activity causes nitrogen to build up. While to the naked eye, the ocean water might appear to be empty, I painted the unseen "hot-mess" of ever-changing molecules, where nutrients are amplified by pollutants, pharmaceuticals, and other human activity. To give a sense of water, I painted a layer of grey and white cloudlike shapes on top of this representation of the lively chemical ecosystem These shapes are abstractions of the reflections on the surface of the water that humans see when we look at the surface of water. They help give a sense that the painting is referencing what is just beneath the ocean surface.
Ocean Surface: Desert. 4´5 feet, Oil over Acrylic on Canvas
This collection zone is also surface water, but it is completely different from coastal water in its unseen content. It is the surface of the Atlantic Ocean far out from the coast of Bermuda. Land derived molecules are largely absent here, and any oceanic molecules get used up, break down, and bleached out in the relentless sunlight. This made me think of the ocean as a desert where creatures hide during the daylight. This zone is a nutrient desert—a place where organisms grow slowly and deal with a strange mix of organic matter while the intense sun is beating down from above. In response to this information, I used colors we associate with an actual desert. I tried to create a sense a sense of expansiveness and calm mystery going onwards into the distance. I implied surface waves by using shapes and forms that were actually derived from microscopic views of bleached bones one might find on desert sand. Small black and white marks are scattered here and there to imply the remains of molecules that have been destroyed in by the UV rays.
DCM: Party Zone., Oil over Acrylic on Canvas
This painting is based on data found in the water tens of meters below the Ocean Surface: Desert, in a zone known as the Deep Chlorophyl Maximum or "DCM." My palette is primarily in the blue family to suggest UV rays filtered through the water, with a bright sunbeam illuminating the center of the canvas. Because the sunlight isn't so brutal here, the DCM is the "sweet spot" for microbes, with lots of stuff happening all the time. The ecosystem here is full of vertical movement, with libations come from below and energy from above. Because all this activity seemed almost like a "party zone" I used shapes that resemble bubbles and balloons dancing in the blue light to suggest the chemicals and microbes that call this ecosystem home. In this part of the ocean, you can often find a species of cyanobacteria called Prochlorococcus and low light eco-types, which are suggested by some of the painted forms. I viewed the entire zone as a chemical and microbe "dance party" or rave.
Deep Ocean: Disintegration. Oil over Acrylic on Canvas.
The final painting is based on the deepest ocean zone sampled in this project. The weight of the ocean above is tremendous. The excited up and down movements of molecules in the DCM are gone. The ocean currents of the subtropical gyre move steadily and powerfully in a horizonal direction across the canvas, like a massive conveyor belt. Instead, the detritus of molecules drift downwards, disintegrating in the deep darkness of this level.
Hong Xu: From Ocean Salt to Predicting Rainfall (4 pieces), Digital Art, Print on Metal
Scientists: Caroline Ummenhofer, Svenja Ryan, and Theo Carr
Hong Xu, artist, in collaboration with physical oceanographers at WHOI – Caroline Ummenhofer, Ph.D., Svenja Ryan, Ph.D., and Theo Carr, Ph.D. candidate – attempt to show that ocean properties can help predict rainfall on land. The key concept revolves around the following components: 1) The ocean is the ultimate water source on our planet. What goes up as fresh water due to evaporation from the ocean surface, leaving salt behind, will come down as rain somewhere else. 2) One of the ocean's physical properties is its salt content which varies regionally. 3) The seemingly "inconsequential" variations of the regional ocean salt content (salinity) can help predict rainfall events on land several months in advance. Where and when rain falls will have direct impact on people's lives.

Pursuit and Decay
Thorium, the Timekeeper
Luarie Kaplowitz, a painter has collaborated with Dr. Jennifer Kenyon (Joint WHOI-MIT Graduate Program in Oceanography, 2021) to create a graphic story book, Pursuit and Decay, based on Dr. Kenyon's research. Ms. Kaplowitz' paintings illustrate the carbon cycle and an oceanographer's attempts, using radioactive materials, to measure the amount of carbon that sinks into the deep ocean. They have created this book as an educational tool for young students and have made it available for viewing online. Laser printed posters of 5 of the book illustrations are available as laser printed posters.
Saberah Malik: Toxic Algae Bloom, Plastic (Sushi Grass)
Scientist: Max Jahns
Saberah Malik, artist, and Max Jahns, PhD candidate in the Joint WHOI-MIT Graduate Program in Oceanography. Jahn's research looks at the effects of viruses on the chemical composition of the world's oceans. Ocean surface dwelling plankton are responsible for one-half of the production of oxygen every year and their healthy numbers are important for removing the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, from the atmosphere. Among the thousands of species of phytoplankton, a few dozen of the algae produce toxins and pose a formidable natural hazard. In the spring and fall when nutrients are ripe, these photosynthetic plankton will create blooms that can stretch for miles. Jahns' research on phytoplankton is the basis of Ms. Malik's development of a new body of work depicting a symbiotic relationship of science and art in understanding and showcasing phytoplankton's beautiful morphology as well as their known and unknown deadly threats.

The Merger of NGS and FGS
In the summer of 2019, NGS and the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) announced that the two organizations planned to come together as one organization focused on supporting individual genealogists and genealogy societies. Organizations like NGS and FGS merge pretty frequently in the not-for-profit world. They do so to improve services to members, to find efficiencies, to generate new collaborative ideas, and to grow their capabilities.
After more than a year of planning, and in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the merger became official on 1 October 2020. The "new NGS" has a dual mission: supporting individuals as they progress in their genealogy education and research, and supporting a diverse community of genealogy societies and organizations. Our ultimate goal is to assist people of all cultures in connecting their families to the past and for the future.
The process to achieve the merger was complex and more work will be done in the weeks and months following the official merger date. There is much more work to be done, so we ask for your patience.
How it Happened
In the fall of 2019, we kicked off a transition planning process which was led by a "Transition Oversight Team" comprised of:
Ben Spratling, NGS President
Faye Stallings, FGS President
Kathryn Doyle, NGS Vice President
David Rencher, FGS Vice President
Ellen Balthazar, NGS Director
Steve Fulton, FGS Director (until April 2020)
Matt Menashes, NGS Executive Director
The team was charged with ensuring that any issues that require resolution before the merger were identified and resolved, and to work with attorneys for each organization to make the merger legal. We also set up several project teams to focus on identifying potential issues and coming up with solutions. The teams focused on finance, technology, publications, membership, conferences, and awards. Team members come from both FGS and NGS and worked through issues to ensure the merged organization could begin operations on 1 October 2020.
Quite a few steps were taken along the path to merge, but several key milestones stand out.
New Bylaws
The first big milestone in the merger timeline was reached on 17 June 2020 when the NGS Board approved amendments to its bylaws. The amendments supported merger agreements between the organizations. The new bylaws became effective on 15 August 2020.
The big change, of course, was that the new bylaws allow for organizations to be members of NGS. "Organization" is used as an umbrella word to include any society, association, library, archive, institution, group, or entity. Before this change, organizations could not be members of NGS but they could subscribe to NGS publications.
We also created an advisory body for organization members, to give member organizations a chance to network and to provide feedback to the NGS board. The new "House of Delegates," as it is currently called, is established in the amended bylaws.
We also created a new officer, Vice President for Society & Organization Management, who will serve on the NGS Board and the Executive Committee. This person is charged with providing "effective representation of member organizations before the Board." This officer must be a member in good standing of a local and/or state organization. And to further encourage representation of organization members, the new bylaws require the appointment of the chair or chair-elect of the House of Delegates to the NGS nominating committee.
The amendments were formulated through a collaborative process between the FGS and NGS boards, attorneys for each organization, and the Transition Oversight Team, to codify a "new NGS" that fully supports a new objective added to the bylaws: "To strengthen and grow genealogy societies, family history groups, family associations, and other genealogical organizations."
Final Merger Agreement Approved by FGS Societies
Members of the Transition Oversight Team worked for months with attorneys representing both NGS and FGS to finalize a merger agreement. On 14 July 2020, the Boards of the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) and the National Genealogical Society (NGS) approved an Agreement to Merge. As required by Illinois law, members of FGS were asked to vote for or against the merger. The final tally of eligible voters expressed unanimous support for the merger.
Summary of key terms:
The merger of FGS and NGS will be effective 1 October 2020
Members of FGS as of the effective date of the merger will become members of NGS for the remaining unexpired term of their membership
Each society or organization member shall have one vote and shall appoint a delegate who shall have the right to cast a vote on behalf of the society or organization
NGS shall establish a committee of the delegates to provide advice to the NGS Board on genealogical society or organization-related matters and implementing any programs designed to strengthen genealogy societies or organizations delegated to it by the Board
NGS will support and further FGS' purpose and mission
At least three current members of the FGS Board will become members of the NGS Board as of the effective date
A Vice President of Society & Organization Management will be added to the NGS Executive Committee and Board
NGS will create a new position, assign existing staff, or contract to manage society services and activities, including evaluation of opportunities and products that will benefit members and overseeing the delivery of services to members
Future NGS conferences will include educational sessions on society management topics
NGS will continue the FGS Preserve the Pension Project (PTP) and continue the operation of the Malcolm H. Stern-NARA Gift Fund.
New Board of Directors
On 1 September 2020, the NGS membership elected a new board of directors whose terms begin 1 October 2020. This first "new NGS" board includes four directors who moved over from the FGS board—Faye Jenkins Stallings, CG (Texas), David E. Rencher, AG, CG, FIGRS, FUGA (Utah), Cheri Hudson Passey (South Carolina), and Ed Donakey (Utah). Also joining the board are Colleen Robledo Greene, MLIS (California), Marlis Glaser Humphrey (Florida), and Andre Kearns (Washington, DC). Continuing their service are returning directors Janet A. Alpert (South Carolina), Janet L. Bailey (Virginia), Ellen Pinckney Balthazar (Texas),Bernice Alexander Bennett (Maryland), Angie Bush, MS (Utah), Ronald V. Hodges, PHD (California), and Deborah Lebo Hoskins, CPA (Pennsylvania). Ben Spratling, JD (Alabama) will continue to serve as past president.
One of the biggest steps in a merger is integrating the operating systems of two organizations. And while the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to move both the NGS and FGS 2020 conferences to virtual events caused substantial delays, the NGS staff with support from FGS volunteers and outside IT consultants, worked feverishly to add FGS members to the NGS membership database, shift important FGS content (with more to come) to the NGS website, restructure and merge social media accounts, consolidate awards programs, and restructure conference and magazine content to meet the needs of societies and organizations in the new NGS.
We are very proud of the successful merger of these two organizations. As Faye Stallings, FGS President and incoming NGS Director said in August 2020: "We are so excited about the bright future of the combined organization that is the new NGS. During the process of preparing for this merger, we have seen a unified commitment and huge enthusiasm of the leaders for serving family history organizations."
"We are so thrilled to be ready to welcome all of the FGS membership to the new NGS," added Ben Spratling, who served as NGS President during the merger discussions. "This merger is all about building a strong, vibrant community of family history organizations that assist people as they discover their ancestors, connect with their relatives, and learn their family stories. This is an exciting time to be part of the genealogy community."

If you need immediate domestic violence help, domestic violence shelters offer women a safe haven from the abusive lives they've left behind. Combined with domestic abuse support groups, victims of a violent relationship can find the physical and emotional help they need in order to move on with their lives. Domestic violence survivors, no matter what type of domestic violence they've endured, need to know that they are not alone and they should look no further than their local community for all the domestic abuse help they need.
You'd never know it, but that seemingly normal block of apartment buildings down the street has given out more domestic violence help than you'd ever think possible. A safe haven for battered women, domestic violence shelters are unmarked buildings to keep their location secret from abusers. While timeframes vary as to how long victims are allowed to stay, there's usually enough room for mothers and their children to take refuge. Besides offering food and a roof over your head, a battered women's shelter strives to get you back on your feet. Most shelters will assist with childcare and offer you guidance in terms of finding a job, seeking legal advice, getting medical attention, and discovering the proper domestic abuse counseling you'll need to hold yourself together. You can locate the closest domestic violence shelter by calling your local police department or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
Suffering through a violent relationship is a traumatic experience, so don't be ashamed to seek out domestic abuse help. Counselors and therapists have been trained to offer you the proper advice in order for you to process everything you've been through, as well as prepare you for new, healthier relationships in the future. You may have just escaped an abusive relationship, or it might be years since your last violent interaction. Either way, your emotions and memories can get the best of you at any point in your life. It may take years to overcome, but with the proper counseling and support, your life will improve every single day (PTSD From Domestic Violence, Emotional Abuse, Childhood Abuse).
Sometimes a therapist or counselor just can't offer enough domestic violence support. Book smarts and advice can certainly set you in the right direction, but there are times you just need something more. That's where domestic violence groups can make a difference. These interactive groups help victims realize that they are not alone. Just like other support groups, these confidential meetings offer a nurturing and open environment to talk with other victims. Domestic violence groups can help you heal, make new friends, and truly find the support you need. The people at your local domestic violence shelters should be able to guide you to local support groups, or you can always search the internet for helpful resources such as domestic violence meetup groups. Besides local in-person meetings, there are also countless websites offering online domestic abuse support.
Victims of domestic violence have been hurt enough in their lives. With the support of local shelters, counselors, therapists and peers, there's an entire world of help for domestic abuse victims.

Pixar Developing Buzz Lightyear Film With Chris Evans
by Josh Atkins · December 11, 2020
Pixar has announced that they are making a Buzz Lightyear film, simply called Lightyear.
Rather than focusing on the beloved toy from the Toy Story films, this film will be about the in-universe inspiration for that toy, giving the character an origin story.
Lightyear will focus on Buzz Lightyear's journey through Star Command, not unlike the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon series that aired briefly between August 2000 and January 2001. This film will give us a greater look at the kind of character that spawned legions of Buzz Lightyear toys in the Toy Story universe.
Blasting into theaters June 17, 2022, Lightyear is the definitive story of the original Buzz Lightyear. Voiced by @ChrisEvans, get ready to go to "infinity and beyond" with Lightyear. 🚀 👨🚀 pic.twitter.com/LdYXlN33sP
— Pixar (@Pixar) December 11, 2020
For the first time, Buzz Lightyear will not be voiced by traditional Buzz voice actor Tim Allen; instead, he will be voiced by Chris Evans, who announced his great pleasure on Twitter. Evans seems a great fit for the role, as Buzz Lightyear's ethics and morality are remarkably similar to that of Captain America, who he played to great effect for eight years.
I don't even have the words. https://t.co/GHC8X6Yp7n
— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) December 11, 2020
As Pixar announced, Lightyear will be arriving in theatres on June 17, 2022. No plot details or other cast members have been announced, but we would hope to see the return of Zurg as Buzz's evil nemesis.

Tokyo Babylon: Hokuto is Subaru's twin sister. She is constantly teasing her brother about his relationship with Seishirou, and always has some crack about a wedding, which Seishirou always joins in on. She has an eye for fashion, and makes the most elaborate costumes.
Her name, Hokuto (北斗), is the Japanese name for the constellation Ursa Major, whose brightest seven stars form the Big Dipper (Hokuto shichisei); it complements her brother's name, Subaru being the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster (whose brightest stars resemble a smaller version of the Big Dipper).

Q: Read Env Vars from a File in AWS Elastic Beanstalk during deployment We traditionally stored our env vars in Environment->Configuration->Software in Elastic Beanstalk console and access it in our NodeJS app by typing process.env.VariableName. There's a hard limit for the number of vars stored there, so we moved our variables to AWS Parameter Store.
I have a .ebextention script that downloads the parameters from the parameter store and saves them to a file in /home/ec2-user directory named .env.local, but I can't reference them in the app with process.env.
.ebextention script:
commands:
  01_command2:
    command: aws ssm get-parameters-by-path --path /latest/ --recursive --with-decryption --output text --query "Parameters[].[Name,Value]" --region us-west-2 | sed -E 's#latest/([^[:space:]]*)[[:space:]]*#export \1=#' > /home/ec2-user/.env.local

How can I access these vars in NodeJS without modifying the way that we correctly use env vars (process.env.VarName)?

The ubiquitous Poha, a favourite of the Gods? Perhaps! One of the stories in the mythology of Lord Krishna, says that when his friend Sudhama was looking desperately for relief from the penury he was in, Sudhama's wife Kalyani asked him to take help from Lord Krishna. When Sudhama went to visit Lord Krishna at Dwaraka, he carries with him as a gift to the Lord, some poha (Wikipedia says some versions claim that he carried poha fried in sattu powder, called sattu-peeth pohe). Sudhama did not have anything else to gift his friend but he remembered that Lord Krishna liked Poha, and hence took it as his gift.
Well prepared poha can indeed be tasty enough to be anyones favourite, even the Gods!
Nutrition wise, Poha is chockfull of iron (20mg of iron in every 100 raw flakes). It is rich in carbohydrates and in fibre, low in gluten and is easy to digest. And its low on fat (except for the oil we use in making the poha dish). As it is not high on protein content, adding vegetables to the poha can improve on this aspect. I add peanuts and fresh green peas to the poha to make up for the low protein quotient.
Being an Indian dish, there are many different varieties and versions of poha made across the country. Most of them are savoury, from Poha in the Northern parts of India to Aval Upumma in the Southern regions. In Maharashtra, Poha is a popular dish, more spicy than in most other parts of India, and is served usually along with a spicy local curry called 'tarri' comprising chilli powder and masalas fried and then cooked with tamarind water.
I was first introduced to this dish during frequent visits to Rajasthan. The company canteen would serve Poha for breakfast at least 3 days in a week. I would turn up my nose, ask for toast and omelette instead, and then silently dream of hot dosa with sambar and mulagaipudi (gun powder/ idli chilli powder).
I finally did taste it one morning, and found, surprise, surprise, that it was very tasty and a satisfying breakfast, which I soon introduced into my kitchen too. It is now a favourite breakfast item at home.
I have given here my version of Poha, For a variation, you could add small cubes of potato, and either boil them before hand and add to the poha after you have added the peas, or else, fry them along with the peas, though it would take a few minutes more for the raw potatoes to cook.
Select the thicker variety of Poha (Aval, Beaten or Pressed rice) so they do not get easily mashed as you want them whole and separate when you finish making the Poha.
Wash the poha flakes gently in a colander, drain, sprinkle salt and soak for 2-3 minutes in water. Drain and set aside.
Chop the onions, green chilli and tomatoes and mince ginger and curry leaves. Set aside.
Soak the peas in a bowl of water and set aside.
Heat oil in a heated pan. Fry the peanuts for 2 minutes or till they begin to split. Using a slotted ladle, remove the peanuts draining the oil at the side of the pan. Transfer the peanuts to a dry bowl and keep aside.
In the remaining oil, burst the mustard seeds and then fenugreek (methi), add cumin (jeera) and sauté for 10 seconds. Add the hing (asafoetida) and the split gram dhal ( split chickpea lentils/ split Bengal gram dhal), sauté for 10 seconds.
Add the green chilli, turning it over so that it scalds on all sides. Add curry leaves and let them sputter.
Sauté onions till they are translucent (about 2-3 minutes). Add ginger, sauté for 10 seconds.
Strain the green peas, add to the pan and sauté for 2 -3 minutes on high flame, stirring till the peas are cooked. Add 3/4 of the fried peanuts and keep the rest aside for the garnish.
Add tomatoes and turmeric, sauté for 20 seconds.
Squeeze out any left over water from the poha flakes, add them to the pan and stir briskly so all the ingredients mix well.
Taste for salt and add more salt if required.
Cook the poha for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently so that the rice flakes do not stick to the pan.
Turn off the stove and transfer the poha to a serving dish. Sqeeze the juice of one lemon and add the lemon juice and reserved fried peanuts to the poha, and mix gently. Adding lemon juice is good, as it helps the body to absorb the iron from the poha flakes.


The quote, "the early bird gets the worm," might just be the most hustler-friendly quote known to man so it should come as no surprise that Windy City emcee Shye has chosen Early Bird as the title for his latest release. Although we haven't heard from Shye since last July's Global, the rapper has still managed to become somewhat of a Booth favorite. Throughout Early Bird Shye proves how heavily he's been on grind, touching on the bold move he made to Vegas and Cali and making dough without having a 9 to 5, as he raps, "Shout out to the women who hustle hard/ Wonder what they gon' say when I pull out this muscle car/ Never had a job but I'm swiping this credit card." Producer ADot keeps the production on the record fairly light with a simplistic blend of various synths. Lookout for more tunes from the Chicago spitter as we near closer to the release of his forthcoming album, Burning, Learning, & Earning.

It's Spring (in February)
I'm not sure what is going on this year and I don't think the fish do, either…Here it is, February 24th, and we have pine pollen in the air and azaleas in full bloom. The waters here in Charleston never really got very cold, so we never really saw the fish get in a winter pattern. The papers are saying we are at least 3 weeks ahead of time in terms of weather. We are even hearing of menhaden showing up…Well, one thing is for sure, and that is we are in for a banner trout year! I'm going on record to say that the Summerville Saltwater Anglers trout club record will fall this year (and I hope it's me that beats my own record!)
Due to the uncertainty in the weather, the fish have been a little hard to pattern for us in our usual brackish waters that we like to fish. They are kinda spread out, like typical March fishing, but I suspect that March will be like April and that means big hungry trout fattening up for the spawn. Our recommendation is to keep your eyes peeled for bait fish and try to match the hatch with your size, color and profile and I think you will do pretty good.
I had the pleasure of fishing a club tournament and hosting my younger son Ian (age 17) and a new club member Grant (age 15) who has the fishing bug bad. It was a real pleasure with these two boys, both who know how to work a lure and cast accurately. The day-maker was Grant's first fish while fishing off a boat – and it was a gollywhopper….a new youth club record riverine Striper at 27.5″. This fish also would have tied the adult record by the way. I was proud to have witnessed it. Unfortunately for Grant's parents, I think he's ruined!! Incidentally we have seen the striper busting bait which indicates the re-emergence of bait fish in the creeks.
The Inshore Journal
If you haven't yet checked out The Inshore Journal, it's a really cool podcast format that has interviews and product reviews. Recently, Episode 5 was on the subject of the Southern Redfish Cup. It has an interview with the owner of the tour and also Ashley Lowder, who along with partner Jeremy Espiritu won over $40,000 fishing the tour in 2016 including a win and big fish in the Georgetown leg and also a win in the Championship and Team of the Year honors. The episode can be listened to HERE and is worth a listen (it runs over an hour) but there is a great testimonial to our Trout Eye jigs by Ashley if you jump ahead to the 45 minute mark. Check it out.
I've caught 100% of all my tournament fish on Trout Eye jigheads – Ashley Lowder
Shop Hours Changed
We have changed our Shop hours to Monday through Friday 9AM – 4PM. Come on by the shop and chat about fishing and pick up some supplies. Remember, we have a great selection of Z-Man soft plastics including some hard to find larger profiles like the 6″ SwimmerZ and 8″ MagSwimZ that pair really well with our Striper Eye jigs for jetty or reef fishing. Some local guides have liked their performance so well that they are buying them for their charter clients to use at the reefs instead of live bait. A single ElaZtech lure can last all day and, well, Predators Strike the Eye and the results speak for themselves! We also have all our products including Trout Eye and Redfish Eye shirts, Original Trout Tricks, the new Trout Eye Finesse jigs, and our new Chrome eyes.
Last grip of winter
New Stuff, etc!

Our Cash, Your Clunker, What About Jobs?
The Cash Allowance Rebate System, or "CARS," better known as "Cash for Clunkers" has proven itself to be a big success. So successful that it ran through the $1 Billion allocated for it in the first 4 days, requiring its own 'bailout' of another $2 Billion to keep the program going.
All across the nation we hear of buyers getting a 'cash for clunkers' deal for their old gas guzzler, trading it in for a new fuel efficient car and leaving it at the dealer for the mandatory destruction of the engine, rendering the trade-in largely worthless, other than for scrap metal.
Selling us on the program, we are told, "The idea is to spur vehicle sales while the industry is struggling with the effects of the economic downturn. U.S. auto sales are selling at a pace of about 10 million units per year, down sharply from a few years ago when they sold at the historic level of 15 million vehicles annually."
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said, "[he] expects the program to spur sales of 250,000 new cars in the United States over the next few months," adding "This will be a huge boost to car manufacturers across the country."
We then read of a buyer at McEleney Autocenter in Clinton, Iowa, who traded in an old Ford truck and "drove away with a brand new Hyundai Accent."
In New York, we hear that "Business was humming at Crestmont Toyota/Volkswagen."
From around Chicago we read of a buyer who brought in their 1990 Ford Econoline for a deal from Gregory Hyundai in Highland Park.
The general manager of Willowbrook Kia/Ford tells us, "There's a lot of interest, and there's a lot of junk out on the road."
Again we are told of a buyer from Barrington, Illinois who traded in his 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada in and drove out in a brand new 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Gene Bradshaw, president of Beaverton, Oregon based Carr Auto Group says, "his Beaverton Subaru and Chevrolet dealerships were pulling in the most Cash for Clunker shoppers," over other dealerships in the group selling American cars in Vancouver, Washington.
Bradshaw then claims, "This is the first stimulus program that has actually trickled down and helped stir the economy. You have a car dealer and a salesman making a profit; you have the trucking company that hauls (the cars) making a profit and scrap metal companies making money."
How reassuring that must be to the employees of 789 Chrysler Dealers who lost jobs when the White House Car Czar directed they lose their franchises, with upwards of 2,000 General Motors dealers facing the same fate.
Vancouver, Washington's Allen Webb, who was one of those who's Auto Group lost Dodge franchise added, "The Nissan store and the Mazda store are doing the best."
With two major American manufacturers coming out of bankruptcy, why are our tax dollars, above and beyond millions of tax dollars pumped to those 2 manufacturers, bolstering sales for imports?
Didn't Obama's Transportation Secretary LaHood tell us, "This will be a huge boost to car manufacturers across the country?"
The owner of Highland Park Ford Lincoln Mercury informs us that with incentives tilted toward some import lines, "I think the industry would be better served with a flat rebate for anybody that buys a new car, or even better, anybody that buys an American car."
Can someone tell me why we are in such a deep recession, yet bailing out imported car manufacturers?
And what about "Jobs?" Just what jobs stand to be created in any long-term capacity by a temporary program as this? Surely the country, the taxpayers, cannot afford to keep giving away up to $4500 trade-in or a $100.00 car with little scrap value, can it?
Will it even help the UAW led manufacturers who have a glut of unsold cars to sell off first? Surely they don't intend to manufacture more and more cars with a glut of unsold cars, do they?
Will this supply any help to employees of shuttered dealerships that the Car Czar and manufacturers said must be put out of business?
With this program scheduled to cease come November 2009, what then? What will keep buyers coming in when the countries unemployment will most likely have grown beyond the current 9.5%, as predicted by the messiah himself, Barack Hussein Obama?
What happens when the 'finger is pulled out of this crumbling dike?' What then when people who used our tax dollars to finance a new car they couldn't afford last month realize they may not be able to keep up with payments?
Will we have yet another government savior program to give away even more of our tax dollars so they might be able to keep their shiny new cars we are buying for them?
What about the poor who must rely on older vehicles that do not qualify for a "cash for clunker" deal and need repair parts? Usually they travel to the nearest junkyard for their parts. But, with engines destroyed, rendered useless and the cars crushed and shredded, what do they do?
Hope the bus line stops close to the minimum wage job they hope and pray they will have?
With the initial outlay of funds drying up so quickly, Rep. Jerry Lewis (R. Ca.) asked, "If this is how the government is going to handle billion-dollar programs affecting all Americans, I ask, whatever will we do if this administration takes control of our health care?"
Dan Mitchell of the Cato Institute stated, "This is not good for economic growth. You're simply getting people to use existing income to spend on cars. Getting people to spend more of their money on cars mean they will have less money to spend on other things."
Mitchell added, "Economic growth is not getting people to spend more money on products, it's getting them to have more income."
Countering critics, Bruce Belzowski of University of Michigan says, "It's hard to say they're incompetent when the program is creating jobs, stimulating the overall economy and reducing emissions. Where's the loss here?"
The "loss here" is in the bogus claim of "creating jobs!" Where are these jobs? At best, a few jobs in a troubled industry are saved for a while, but how many of those in the countries the imports selling so well are built?
Reinforcing that is more words from Bruce Belzowski when he adds, "I don't think it was meant to save the auto industry."
No? Then why in the hell are we doing it?
UPDATE: The House passed the request for an additional $2 Billion to bolster this program and the Senate is pondering it. Reuters ran an article on Aug 3, 2009 U.S. auto sales bolstered by rush to dump 'clunkers' that tells us, "Ford Motor Co's sales rose 2 percent."
Further down it tells us, "U.S. auto sales overall,,,, fell 12 percent from a year earlier."
Still further down we read, "Chrysler posted a 9 percent sales decline for July. GM sales were down 19 percent."
"Sales for Toyota Motor Co were down 11 percent; Honda Motor Co was off 16 percent and Nissan Motor Co sales fell 25 percent."
"Hyundai Motor Co posted a nearly 12 percent sales gain for July."
It would appear, as per the supplied numbers, our "Cash For Clunkers" would be more aptly labeled the "South Korean Bailout Act."

Again, why are our tax dollars being given away like this?
Posted by LewWaters at 10:31 PM
C'mon, Lew. You already know that in a month or two when these folks lose their jobs and can't make their payments, we will be bailing them out as well. Also heard tell of some folks taking their brand-new fuel-efficient cars (after they got the $4500 credit from the dealer), reselling them and buying stuff like... brand new F-150s.
And WHY THE HELL ARE TAXPAYERS PAYING FOR A PROGRAM LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
It is absolutely sickening that these cars are being destroyed. If they don't want them back on the road, why not just dismantle them and sell them for parts instead of destroying them?
Useable engines are the most profitable portion of a scrapped car, Angie. Depending on the engine and scarcness, we have had to pay $2500.00 and more for certain ones.
I guess the "greens" running this pig in a poke don't realize a freshly reconditioned engine emits much less emissions than does a worn out one that does not qualify for the CFC promgram.
I still have yet to figure out how incentives to purchase foreign cars helps our two manufacturers who just went through bankruptcy or what jobs a short spike in sales supplies.
But what do I know? I only have 43 years in the automotive trade.

Would they not be able to replace it without this program of throwing out other people's money?

Троїцький Китаївський чоловічий монастир УПЦ — монастир у Києві, місцевість Китаїв. Діяв у XVIII — на початку XX століття. Відновлений у 1993-му. Межує з історичною місцевістю Корчувате.

Історія
Засвідчена документами історія обителі починається з 1716 року, і вже з цього ж століття Китаїв зажив слави київського Афону (тобто тихого, затишного місця), ставши місцем паломництва. Найвідомішими з китаївських старців (подвижників-ченців) були Досифей і Феофіл.

До кінця XIX століття остаточно склався архітектурний ансамбль монастирського подвір'я, яке мало форму шестикутника. До нього увійшли цегляна Троїцька церква (1763–1768), зведена лаврським будівничим Степаном Ковніром, 45-метрова дзвіниця, трапезна з церквами Дванадцяти апостолів і Трьох російських святителів — Петра, Олексія та Іони, будинок настоятеля, братський корпус, двоповерховий дім для старих священнослужителів, келійні корпуси та цегляна огорожа з економічною брамою. З 1898 року на території господарчого двору діяв лаврський свічний завод. До нового корпусу богодільні 1904 року прибудовано церкву святого Серафима Саровського. У розбудові монастиря брали участь славетні київські зодчі Андрій Меленський, Володимир Ніколаєв та інші.

Ще з кінця XVIII століття Китаїв стає популярним місцем відпочинку. Серед найвідоміших китаївських дачників слід відзначити Григорія Сковороду, Миколу Лисенка, Михайла Грушевського. Звідси почався творчий шлях славетного тенора Івана Козловського.

У 1920-ті храми продовжували діяти, але сама пустинь ченцям уже не належала: у келіях розмістилася дитяча колонія, частина споруд використовувалася сільськогосподарськими закладами. 1930 року пустинь було остаточно ліквідовано, територію та будівлі передано Всесоюзному дослідному інституту плодового та ягідного господарства, організованому Володимиром Симиренком (від 1954 — Український НДІ садівництва). Дзвіницю розібрали в 1932 році, інші споруди сильно постраждали під час Другої світової війни. Після війни у пустині розміщувалися Республіканський навчально-виробничий комбінат бджільництва і Український науково-дослідний інститут захисту рослин.

У 1990 році у Троїцькій церкві було зареєстровано парафію, і після ремонту тут розпочалися богослужіння. Невдовзі храм разом з відремонтованою трапезною та келіями було передано УПЦ МП. У 1993 році в храмі Дванадцяти апостолів, який є частиною трапезного корпусу, було відроджено скит Києво-Печерської лаври, першим начальником якого став архімандрит Пафнутій (Россоха, у схимі Феофіл; 1929—1996). Після археологічних досліджень 1993–1994 років було впорядковано печери, де освячено храм в ім'я Преподобного Досифея Київського. 1996 року обитель зі скита було перетворено на самостійний монастир. У 2010 році парафію було ліквідовано, і Троїцький храм став головним храмом обителі.

Історичні духовні персоналії
У 1776 році монастир відвідав 22-х річний юнак Прохор Мошнін з Курська. Відомий чернець-дівиця Досифей вказав юнаку на  як місце постійного чернецтва. Прохор виконав настанови Досифеї та ввійшов у світову православну історію як святий чернець Серафим Саровський.

Християни Корчуватого трепетно зберігають пам'ять про ці важливі історичні події, оскільки знаменитий чернець, під час перебування в Китаївській пустині, проживав у віруючих селища Корчувате, що межує з відомими Китаївськими печерами, де постійно перебував чернець-дівиця Досифей.
