2008 National Clergy Renewal Program

Lilly Endowment has announced its 2008 National Clergy Renewal Program. Over the next several months, up to 120 congregations will be selected to participate in 2008.

"Pastors and congregations both benefit from this period of renewal," said Craig Dykstra, Endowment senior vice president for religion. "They are given a rare chance to get away from the demands of daily parish ministry and explore 'what makes their hearts sing.' The renewal of a pastor's heart and spirituality is part of his or her 'job description' and is essential to the spiritual quality of a congregation's life."

Lilly Endowment invites pastors who have earned M.Div. degrees through ATS accredited schools to apply. To learn how to take advantage of this opportunity, visit the Lilly Endowment website for details.
