Loading...Health and Hospitality - what do they mean to members of the clergy personally and in their ministry? How might they be refreshed by exploring that question in a small group of peers? The Kentucky Council of Churches (KCC) invites all clergy members to find out.
KCC has received funding from the Lilly Endowment to foster such groups around Kentucky. We welcome hearing from interested church leaders, especially clergy.
This is a three-year program. The small groups will form themselves ecumenically (members from various Christian traditions) and set a schedule for gathering for times together. They will develop some goals for themselves in relation to the themes of health and hospitality. Each year in October, the groups will all be assembled in one place for a special program, dovetailing with the opportunity to attend the Council's own annual assembly.
Through the grant, KCC will provide reimbursements for travel and food expenses associated with your group meetings.There is also an opportunity for your group to propose a final project for special funding in the program's third year.
The team guiding this new program wants to hear from you: The Rev. Marian Taylor, Council Executive Director; The Rev. Greg Alexander, Christian Church in Kentucky (Disciples of Christ); Sr. Mary Luke Jones, OSB, of Our Lady of Grace Monastery; The Rev. Gregory Waldrop, United Methodist Church; Ms. Jeanie Hartman, Council Administrative Assistant; The Rev. Tobias Pace, African Methodist Episcopal Church
