The Louisville Institute, a Lilly Endowment-funded program based at Louisville Seminary, has announced the availability of a new round of Sabbatical Grants for Pastoral Leaders.
These awards, either $10,000 or $15,000 for extended sabbatical periods, offer pastoral leaders “a chance to step out and step back from the pace and pressures of ministry.”

The Louisville Institute is a Lilly Endowment-funded program based at Louisville Seminary supporting those who lead and study American religious institutions. The fundamental mission of the Louisville Institute is to enrich the religious life of American Christians and to encourage the revitalization of their institutions, by bringing together those who lead religious institutions with those who study them, so that the work of each might inform and strengthen the other.
