The names have not readily identify the programs as Brethren, and have not accurately identified what the programs do, staff said. The new names more adequately reflect the identity and mission of the church\u2019s disaster response work.<\/p>\n<p>The name of Disaster Child Care, for example, seemed \u201cto carry the connotation of a babysitting service rather than helping children cope following disasters,\u201d said a memo that has been distributed to announce the name change to child care volunteers.
