2012 Clergy Grant
Members of the UUMA who are Parish or Community Ministers or Ministers of Religious Education who have not yet been to Star Island and are not associated with conference programs are invited to attend a conference next summer as the guest of the Isles of Shoals Association Unitarian Universalist (ISAUU).
Our Clergy Grants Program provides funding for UU clergy and their families to attend Star Island conferences. Our intent is to introduce you to Star Island conferences, to support your personal and professional relaxation and rejuvenation, and to promote Star Island with UU clergy and their congregations.
The original Unitarian Summer Meetings Association was founded in 1896 to host conferences at Star Island in the belief that gatherings of Unitarian laypeople and clergy would set the stage for personal renewal and inspiration as well as strengthening the Unitarian movement. The ISAUU still believes this a century later and the Clergy Grants Program is an outgrowth of that vision.
The program is administered in partnership with the UUMA. An application is available below and should be returned by February 15. Grant recipients are notified by March 1 and will receive vouchers to enclose with conference applications.
Look for conference information at www.starisland.org. The Star Island Corporation sends the 2012 season program brochures to UU churches in January.
Members of the ISAUU Clergy Grants Panel welcome your participation in this sixth season of our on-going program of support for our UU Clergy.
