| Churches' awards for Civil Dialogue come in the midst of electoral discord |
C  hurches' awards for Civil Dialogue come in the midst of electoral discord In the midst of the current electoral discord, some Christians and other people of faith are asking "Is the divisiveness in the US affecting the churches more than the churches are affecting the divisiveness?" We want to show the culture the better way referred to in scripture, "instead, speak the truth in love" (Eph. 4:15). To encourage such efforts, the Kentucky Council of Churches gave three awards this year for good work in the area of Civil Dialogue.
The awards were presented to Dialogue between Catholics and Disciples, Episcopalians in Dialogue about Coal, and Centre College's Civility Pledge.

| Congregational Development Opportunity: Bishop Offering Three $3000 Scholarships |
Dear Colleagues in Christ, Leaders of the Diocese,
I have just learned about the following opportunity for Congregational development (growth, health, and stewardship) sponsored by the Diocese of West Tennessee and offered in Memphis. After speaking with other bishops I believe this is a very good opportunity. I am offering up to three $3000 grants for parish leaders to attend this event. To be eligible a parish must send one clergy and two lay leaders, at least one of whom is a vestry member. Alternately, with clergy blessing, a team of two vestry members and another lay leader may apply. Contact my office to apply. Blessings, Bishop Doug
