Recognizing the importance and necessity for busy pastors to have an opportunity to take an extended break for renewal and refreshment, Lilly Endowment in 2000 introduced a new competitive grants program. The program awards grants to congregations that offer a program for the renewal of their pastor and, at the same time, give the congregations themselves an opportunity to better themselves as vital places of worship and mission.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality offers an excellent resource for Pastors and Churches to integrate the principles of this material into their lives. It’s called the EHS Church-wide Initiative, and you can see what it entails here. You can also order the Kit there. I serve as a Ministry Representative with EHS and as the Coordinator for Churches doing the Church-wide Initiative.
