  DOWNLOAD 2012 NEW CLERGY PROGRAM APPLICATION

Chautauqua’s ecumenical New Clergy Program is offering two entry week conferences this summer and invites applications from interested new clergy in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic faith communities.

In each of these identical seminar weeks, the Chautauqua Institution provides full accommodations for clergy and spouse or partner. This is made possible through foundation support and scholarships. Grants cover residency, meals, and access to the full Chautauqua program. Participants are responsible for their transportation arrangements and costs.

Conference participant grants are awarded to women and men of the Abrahamic traditions who have served no more than seven years in congregational ministry.

Participants will reside on the Institution grounds, share meals, and meet daily with the program’s director and faculty. Discussions focus on issues and experiences relevant to growth and renewal in ministry. Participants benefit from their engagements with the distinguished chaplains and lecturers present each week in Chautauqua’s platform program. Both conference schedules allow participants to enjoy the various cultural and recreational programs offered by the Chautauqua Institution.
