Every year the Council of Bishops awards three grants to annual conferences from around the world that are involved in ecumenical and/or interreligious ministry. These grants are for $1,000 US each and must be used for ministry projects that focus on ecumenical/interreligious relationship-building both in invitation and goal. Applications are solicited in July or August and are awarded by the end of the year for projects designed for the following year.
If your church is involved in such a ministry, don’t hesitate to apply for the grant. Questions about the grant may be directed to Billie Fidlin, Director of Outreach & Justice Ministries, via email at bfidlin@dscumc.org.
