The Lilly Endowment, Inc., has awarded Columbia Theological Seminary a five-year grant of $648,863 to support continuation of the seminary’s S3 Project, which offers small, self-selected groups of clergy and other church professionals the opportunity to design and participate in group learning projects that strengthen their practice of ministry. Groups will receive $500 per person to fund their self-directed group work that focuses on aspects of Sabbath, study, and service (S3). Participants must attend two retreats, one, at the beginning of their year-long project and another at the conclusion. These retreats are generally held in February.
Project applications for the 2011-12 cohort will be accepted through September 30, 2011. The application procedure requires a group proposal and individual applications for each group member. Selected participants will be notified by October 14, 2011.
