Churches Uniting In Christ (CUIC) has created an ecumenical academy. According to the CUIC: “Young adults chosen to participate will be trained in current group leadership skills, the history and theology of the Ecumenical Movement, and the particular connections among the CUIC Member Communions, Christian unity and interreligious relationships. 

“This small cohort of young adults will be between the ages of 25 and 34, will represent the 10 CUIC Member Communions, and may be either lay or clergy.  Those chosen must be able to read and speak English, commit to 10 months of training, be able to travel to a single in-person gathering in the United States, have access to a phone and the internet, and be willing to organize and lead a ministry project in their home context.  Those chosen to participate in this special training agree to each of those requirements and agree for their name and image to be used in articles and advertisements of CUIC.  Applications are due pettism@ucc.org no later than May 15, 2023.”
