From ENS-
The Episcopal Church Foundation has awarded 2011 Fellowship Partners Program grants to the Rev. James Brian McVey (Brian), Sister Greta Ronningen, the Rev. Sam Dessórdi Peres Leite and Andrew Thompson .
The nearly 50-year-old program identifies and helps to "raise up dynamic and transformational lay and ordained church leaders by providing financial support to individuals engaged in academic study and transformational ministries that address important areas of need in the Episcopal Church," according to an ECFpress release. ECF Fellows have emerged as important leaders, teachers, and scholars at all levels of the church, the release said.
"They are leading the way on important issues and helping to define the future of the Episcopal Church," ECF President Donald V. Romanik, said in the release.
Anne Ditzler, ECF senior program director, said the recipients' "areas of study and ministry speak to a wide range of needs -- from addressing ethical responses to contemporary social issues to renewing hearts and spirits."
Awards range up to $15,000 and fellows may apply to renew grants for up to three years (renewal grants are capped at $10,000), according to the foundation's website.
