The Lilly Endowment has funded 2 large initiatives in the last few years that have the potential to significantly contribute to what we know about faith formation and how we engage and develop programs. The Christian Parenting and the Nurturing Children through Worship and Prayer initiatives have been awarded to over 100 denominations and organizations for nearly 200 million dollars. We have much to learn from their work and research! This workshop will assemble an ecumenical panel of several grant recipients. The panel will talk about their project, how leaders can engage and what they are learning about how to best support children and youth both at home and in the faith community.
