Sherry Britton in the NCD department in Louisville has asked us to share the following exciting news with all 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.

What?
Really?
It doesn’t work that way? Bummer.
Nice try, Drew.
Seriously, though–let’s get the word out and see what we can come up with. I think this is a generous opportunity for the emergent community, and an indication that our denomination is interested in what we’re doing.
Is there a link at the PCUSA site for this?
I haven’t checked, Michael, but I don’t think so. Sherry approached us directly on this one, because she felt we had connections with PCUSAers in the Emergent world, and wanted us to spread the word. At least, that’s the way I understood it.
Thanks Neal. I just went ahead and copied your whole post and repubed it at my blog. Thanks!
Thanks – I will post this on my blog as well and respond as we are trying some unique outreach efforts in our fellowship – what a help this would be!
