Bread for the World Fellowship Description

Description of Work:

Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation's decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad.  As part of a new church resource strategy, Bread will produce resources for worship, study and reflections around issues of hunger, poverty and justice to be used by local congregations. We also distribute a monthly email resource for pastors, “Bread for the Preacher,” which provides lectionary-based commentary, prayers, bulletin announcements and program ideas.  The Fellow will contribute to this body of work, both by editing existing materials and writing new ones.

Skills Required:

Strong Biblical background and theological understanding of social justice issues. Strong preaching and writing skills.
