Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust, Barrow Cadbury Fund Ltd. Applicant overview: The CBWCP has its origins in the Project on Partnership Between Black and White and the research work of Roswith Gerloff. The project aims to encourage inter-church relations, mutual trust, the sharing of resources and the building up of competent leadership in partnership between black and white Christians. The Centre was established to serve as a resource centre where white led and black led churches can find information about one another's life, worship and traditions. It further serves to provide advice and encouragement churches, church councils and community workers in areas with significant numbers of African and West Indian churches. The Centre is sponsored jointly by the British Council of Christian Churches, Selly Oak Colleges and the University of Birmingham where it provides academic and pastoral training for a certificate in theology. In 1984 the Centre applied for charity status. Nature of support: In addition to CBWCP grants, this file also contains a number of education grants. In 1986 the Trust approved three annual grants of £1,000. Later that year the Trust made a single grant of £1,250 for part-time employment costs of an office worker.
