Greetings in the name of our Lord
and Savior!
I extend sincere congratulations to and express deepest admiration for recipients of this year's Palmer Grant. Grounded in study, community action and theological reflection methodology, each of the worthy ministries selected embodies the caring heart, serving hands, going feet and prophetic voice of Jesus and exemplifies the radical discipleship so needed today.
