Venture in Mission Proposals Called For
Episcopal News Service. June 3, 1977 [77201]
New York, N.Y. -- The Case Committee of the Episcopal Church's Venture in Mission program has invited dioceses, groups, and individuals to submit proposed projects for funding, according to Bishop Richard Millard, coordinator of the program.
The Case Committee -- which will receive and evaluate the proposed projects in the multi-million dollar fund raising and renewal program -- has set an August 1 deadline for receiving the proposal forms in the Venture office. Bishop Millard pointed out that even though full information may not be available by that date, the forms should be filed with as much information as possible, along with an attached letter indicating when the remainder of the material will be sent.
"The Church is in the midst of a Venture in Mission Program which includes renewal and commitment at every level of its life," Bishop Millard said. "It is assumed that project proposals, whether they are on the diocesan or national level, will bear a relationship to the mission opportunities that have been identified during the renewal and commitment process."
The Case Committee, which is chaired by Mrs. Carter C. Chinnis of Alexandria, Va., will list the proposed national projects in a booklet, The Prospectus.
Bishop Millard said that the August 1 date for submission of proposals "is important in order that we can put together the proposed project list to start the Challenge Gifts phase of the program by October 1, 1977. "
Program proposal forms are available from Bishop Millard's office at the Episcopal Church Center, 815 Second Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017.
