The Bill Snelson Young Ecumenists Fund

27 September 2023

The fund was set up in 2023 by Churches Together in England and the Snelson family in memory of Bill Snelson. A dedicated ecumenist, he was General Secretary of Churches Together England from 1997 to 2008.

The Bill Snelson Young Ecumenists Fund has been set up to give young ecumenists – between the ages of 18 and 35 – the opportunity to experience ecumenism abroad.

This experience can be study, pilgrimage, volunteering or any activity that promotes church unity.

“Churches Together in England is passionate about inspiring young adults to become the next generation of ecumenists in their churches, and empowering them to play an active part in CTE. We hope that young people from across our wide range of member churches will seize this opportunity to expand their experience of being Christians together in today’s challenging world.” Chair of CTE Trustees, Rowena Loverance.
