Currently working to establish a diocesan commission on ecological justice in the Diocese of Michigan; we’ve passed the resolution and are now beginning to build. Interested to hear about the Fellows’ Program; maybe we need a Fellow in our Diocese :) 00:52:24 William (he/him): 💯💯💯💯 00:53:31 Jill Fahrenholtz MO: Jill Fahrenholtz. Sorry on phone today. Very inspiring fellows. My heat pump was shaking itself outside so I’m going to go see if I can get to ice I suspect is inside enclosure. ( Rolla MO ) - back on a bit. I’ll keep listening. 01:00:33 Rhoden Streeter: For us “old folks” there is https://thirdact.org/about/ 01:00:40 Mary Weber: I think it would be great to pair up a younger person and an older person to do a project together 01:00:41 Richard Benson: To hypothesize: The Cannons of the Church specifically call for raising up young leaders. That requires funding support. Millenials and Gen Z on average have very few resources in comparison. 01:00:41 Heather, Prov V, she/her: Ellie was on the right track with funding…it’s not guaranteed to be funded with the new PB… we know that he loves creation care, but we don’t know that he’ll fund this program. 01:00:59 Jeanette Ettin CC Convener Prov 5: Reacted to "Ellie was on the r..." with ❤️ 01:01:14 Jeanette Ettin CC Convener Prov 5: Reacted to "The Cannons of the..." with 👍 01:01:26 Jeanette Ettin CC Convener Prov 5: Reacted to "I think it would b..." with ❤️ 01:02:12 William (he/him): Reacted to Ellie was on the rig... with "👍" 01:02:19 William (he/him): Reacted to To hypothesize: The ... with "👍" 01:02:24 William (he/him): Reacted to I think it would be ... with "❤️" 01:02:31 Mary Weber: Reacted to "Ellie was on the rig..." with 👍 01:02:47 Richard Benson: To the Fellows: is there an alumni planning for this to keep in touch after your grants conclude? And if not, do you want to establish something to keep the cohorts together? 01:02:51 Laurance, David: I don’t know anything about the new PB really, beside what I’ve already read. But he has talked about making ECUSA more responsive to the parishes. Does PRovince V have a role in setting the PB’s priorities here? How much funding is needed for another cohort of 7 Fellows, and how could that come from the Provinces rather than from the top? 01:03:02 William (he/him): Reacted to To the Fellows: is t... with "👍" 01:03:22 William (he/him): Reacted to I don’t know anythin... with "👍" 01:04:07 Heather, Prov V, she/her: Replying to "I don’t know anythin..." Based on what I’ve been hearing, YES - the PB wants to move things out… but there is almost no funding at the provincial level. 01:04:32 Laurance, David: If you want more people to understand community organizing as a way of driving change, there are more ways to do that besides a Fellowship. Fellowship is a really excellent tool, but it’s not the only tool in the box. 01:04:44 Heather, Prov V, she/her: Reacted to "If you want more peo..." with 💜 01:04:52 Ellie Simpson (she/they): Reacted to "If you want more peo..." with 💯 01:05:40 pamharris: My experience with fellows is the equivalent of a post doctoral project or a medical training program for doctors wishing to specialize in one particular subject.
