Sherry Britton in the New Church Development office of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in Louisville has asked some folks to share the following exciting news, especially for our presbymergent friends:
The director of Evangelism has just found $20,000 in his budget designated for emergent churches. He would like to receive proposals for the use of the funds.
Following are some additional details:
- Funding is open to both churches and organizations as long as they are “PCUSA based.”
- Deadline for submission of proposals is October 15th, and the award would be made in November.
- They’re looking for a narrative about the program to be funded, the precise amount requested, and the expected outcome.
Proposals should be mailed to Sherry Britton, 100 Witherspoon St., Louisville, KY 40202 or emailed to sbritton[at]ctr.pcusa.org or faxed to 502-569-8002.

Anybody planning to take advantage of this? I think one of the worst things we (in the EC community) could do is to turn away (or just let slip by) an offer of help from our denomination, at a time when many are just now starting to explore what it means to be Presbyterian and Emergent.
AWESOME!!!! GOOD for them! Now the tough decision will be “who” is worthy of receiving the moolah!
Yep, Neal, I’m gonna apply! We need the help and I hope that my little web site thejamsession.org can become a more “user-friendly” way of gettin’ the word out about what we’re up to in the ATL
