Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust. 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. The Centre works in four fields: education, inter-church relations, information and research and international links with other churches. Nature of support: In 1989 the Trust approved three annual grants of up to £12,000 per annum to take effect from 1990. Minutes: B&GSCT 7072, B&GSCT 7123. Notes: File organised from newest to oldest.
