Discover Grants for Pastoral Leaders
A sabbatical is not a vacation but a time of renewal. While the Diocese wants all congregations to set aside money for a sabbatical, there are grants that can assist as well. There are three grants I want to highly encourage priests in our diocese to consider:
Sabbatical
This program of the Louisville Institute provides pastoral leaders with “sustained periods of time for rest, renewal, and reflective engagement with their life and work and issues related to contemporary religious leadership.” This program awards grants of either $10,000 for an 8-week sabbatical or $15,000 for a 12-week sabbatical. For more information visit the web page: Sabbatical Grants The deadline for this year is September 1.
Pastoral Study Projects Grants
This is a second program of the Louisville Institute. These grants offer “pastoral leaders opportunity to conduct serious investigation of issues related to Christian life, faith, and ministry.” The program annually awards grants of up to $15,000 to support study projects by making possible full or part-time leave from pastoral responsibilities during the time of study. Examples of successful grants are found at their 2010 Grant Awardees page. The website for this program is online here: Pastoral Study Project Grants. The grant application deadline for this year is August 15.

Clergy Renewal Grant
This program of the Lilly Foundation is the one which sent the Amuzie Family home to Nigeria for a visit when The Rev. Charles Amuzie was the Rector of St. Athanasius’ Church, Brunswick. It is also paying for The Rev. Cynthia Taylor’s sabbatical described in this week’s top story. The website is online here: Clergy Renewal Grant. The deadline for this year passed on May 12. But advanced thought and planning can help a grant be successful and so it is not too soon to begin dreaming of a plan for next year’s grant cycle.
