Notes

2016-02-12 - The Protestant Radio Center was chartered in 1949 by representatives of Agnes Scott College, Candler School of Theology, Columbia Theological Seminary, Emory University, the Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church U.S., the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., the Protestant Episcopal Church, the United Lutheran Church, and the National Council of Churches' Southeastern office. A few years later, production of the radio program was unified when the PRC built its own headquarters near the Emory University campus on Clifton Road in Atlanta, Georgia. -Database Manager

2016-02-12 - The Chapel Studio is the special gift of Methodists of the Southeast as a tribute to Georgia's Bishop and Mrs. Arthur J. Moore, in appreciation for their worldwide ministry. The organ in the chapel studio was provided by Episcopalians of the Fourth Province as a memorial to the late Bishop John Moore Walker and the late Bishop John B. Walthour, Atlanta, for their aid in the development of the center. This unusual organ of 1,632 pipes of various woods and metals was custom built and installed- by Herman L. Schlicker of New York. -Database Manager

2016-02-12 - In 2000, Emory University purchased the property for campus expansion and The Protestant Hour found a new home. In March 2001, the offices and studio were relocated to All Saints' Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Georgia. In July 2004, The Protestant Hour, Inc. merged with the Episcopal Media Center to create a new ecumenical media organization, the Alliance for Christian Media. In August 2013, the organization moved once again to a new office suite and recording studio on the campus of Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church in Atlanta. -Database Manager
