The bulletin insert for July 6, 2025
This is the weekly bulletin insert from Sermons That Work.

Becoming Beloved Community Grants

Episcopalians are invited to apply for a Becoming Beloved Community grant.

The General Convention budget funds these Beloved Community grants to do the following:
- Support projects that seek to create sustainable, systemic change in truth-telling.
- Share the dream of Beloved Community.
- Practice healing and reconciliation.
- Repair the breach in institutions and society.
Since 2019, approximately 120 projects have received Becoming Beloved Community grants totaling more than $1 million.

[These grants] help communities root deeper into God’s dream—where truth is told with courage, healing is practiced in community, and justice flows not as charity but as relationship restored.
the Rev. Lester Mackenzie

Racial Reconciliation

Applicants should review criteria and additional information online at iam.ec/bbcg. Priority will be given to initiatives that address policy advocacy, systems transformation, and environmental change strategies. Projects may include efforts to reform institutional policies, shift cultural norms, reallocate resources, or influence public systems and structures in ways that align with the vision of Becoming Beloved Community.

The deadline to apply for grants will be August 31, 2025. Applications officially opened online on July 3, 2025, at iam.ec/bbcg.

Grants include seed grants up to $7,500 and impact grants up to $15,000.
- Seed grants are geared toward groups launching new projects or growing existing projects.
- Impact grants are aimed primarily at increasing the capacity, impact, and reach of communities and institutions already working to advance justice, healing, reconciliation, and creation care.
“These grants are seeds of communion. They help communities root deeper into God’s dream—where truth is told with courage, healing is practiced in community, and justice flows not as charity but as relationship restored,” said the Rev. Lester Mackenzie, chief of mission program and an Associate of the Holy Cross, a Benedictine community. “As one elder once whispered to me, ‘We do not walk alone—we carry one another home.’

“Jesus said, ‘The kingdom of God is within you’ (Luke 17:21). These grants call that kingdom forth. Yebo [I agree].”
