Centre awarded $16,000 grant by Henry Luce Foundation

 

As a result of a $16,000 grant awarded to the Centre by the Henry Luce Foundation in New York, a two-day workshop on the subject of the global history of American evangelicalism was held from 13-14 July 2015, at the Roosevelt Study Center in Middelburg, Netherlands.

The purpose of the workshop, organized by Kendrick Oliver of CIPCS and Hans Krabbendam of RSC, was to engage in a detailed collective review of draft essays produced for a special issue of the Journal of American Studies. The workshop involved three contributors from the UK, three from Europe and four from the US, plus Professor John Corrigan, editor of the journal Church History. The special issue is scheduled for submission to the Journal of American Studies in late October 2015. Publication will be attended by public outreach activities. The special issue arose out of an international conference hosted at Southampton by CIPCS in April 2014.
