| Description | Grant file containing correspondence, payment summary, agendas, minutes, leaflets, trust deed, accounts, funding requests and reports relating to the Centre for Black and White Christian Partnership (CBWCP). 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. Nature of support: The Trust front loaded a series of annual grants to the CBWCP in order to help the organisation to establish itself with the last grant of £3,000 scheduled to the 1986- 1987 academic year. In addition to these annual grants the Trust provided £250 to support the academic studies of a member of CBWCP and £500 towards a programme of talks by the American preacher Jim Wallis.
