 January/February 2001 (XXXIX 1) |
The Elizabeth Ann Bogert Memorial Fund, administered by Friends World Committee for Consultation, Section of the Americas, makes annual grants of up to $1,000 for the study or practice of Christian mysticism.
Recent grants awarded by overseers of the fund were given for: development of curriculum for a spiritual formation model of youth ministry; travel expenses to attend an international conference on the mystical teachings of St. Julie Billiart; studies of the mysticism of Elizabeth Underhill, Rufus Jones, and Kawani Shinsui; writing a handbook for leading workshops in contemplative prayer; and a pilgrimage to Taize, an ecumenical Christian community in France.
Individuals wishing to apply for grants in 2001 should send seven copies of their proposal to co-secretaries of the Bogert Fund, Vinton Deming and Michelina Deming, 4818 Warrington Ave., Philadelphia PA 19143; e-mail address <vintdem@juno.com>. Two or three individuals who know the applicant and are familiar with the project should be asked to send letters of reference directly to the co-secretaries as well.
Proposals should include a description of the project, the specific amount requested, how the grant money will be used, other sources of funding, and plans for communicating the results to others. Recipients are asked to send a progress report within a year.
Proposals and references are due by March 1, 2001. Overseers for the Bogert Fund will meet in May; grants will be awarded in June.
