GreenFaith National Fellowship Program

Posted on January 25, 2017 by gtuscholarships

GreenFaith National Fellowship Program

Deadline: June 1

The GreenFaith Fellowship Program is the first comprehensive education and training program in the US to prepare lay and ordained leaders from diverse religious traditions for religiously based environmental leadership. Through this program, GreenFaith is offering religious leaders a unique opportunity for educational, spiritual and vocational growth and skill development in religious environmentalism.Using insights gained by successful religious leadership development programs and resources developed through past religious-environmental initiatives, the program will educate leaders from diverse backgrounds to develop and implement plans to address environmental issues in their vocational settings.

The Fellowship curriculum will be designed to integrate historical perspectives, scientific information, socio-economic considerations, religious, ethical, spiritual and practical dimensions.It will work with an expansive understanding of the “environment” which encompasses suburban, urban and indoor settings as well as wilderness or biodiversity-rich areas that are the focus of much traditional environmental work.

GreenFaith is especially interested in Fellows who are:

  • Theologically-educated and/or ordained leaders in the early stages of their vocational lives, who sense a calling to make environmental issues a major focus of their work.
  • Mid-career religious professionals, monks or nuns for whom environmental engagement offers an opportunity for a redefinition or renewal of their vocational lives
  • Lay leaders active on environmental concerns who want to develop the skills to deepen the impact of their work.
  • Mature religious leaders who experience a calling to focus on environmental concerns during the remaining years of their vocational lives.

This award of $20,000 is intended to enhance the ability of the recipient to carry on these CCWH traditions through contributions to women in history, either through scholarly or professional activity.

Eligible applicants must be members of CCWH and must hold either A.B.D. status or the Ph.D. at the time of application. They shall be actively engaged in scholarship that is historical in nature, although the degree may be in related fields.
