Meet the Snelson Fund awardees from Spring 2024

Seven young Ecumenists have been awarded grants by The Bill Snelson Young Ecumenists Fund to enable them to have ecumenical experiences beyond England

The Bill Snelson Young Ecumenists Fund was launched in October 2023 by Churches Together in England (CTE) and the Snelson family. It is in memory of Bill Snelson, a dedicated ecumenist, who was General Secretary of Churches Together England from 1997 to 2008. Grants from the Fund allow young adults to experience ecumenism abroad. That experience can be study, pilgrimage, volunteering or any activity that promotes church unity.

It would be great if young adults interested in Christian unity from Norfolk and Waveney consider applying for a grant.   There is no doubt that those who have successfully applied in the past have received the funds to support a really positive and beneficial ecumenical experience.
