The Cleaver Ordination Candidates Fund exists for the support and encouragement of Anglican ordinands committed to an orthodox understanding of the catholic priesthood, and to urge the importance of continuing sound theological learning amongst the clergy.
The Fund offers: - Book grants for ordinands in each year of formal pre-ordination training;
-
Grants to clergy for postgraduate study;
- Book grants, library subscriptions, etc., for clergy ordained for ten years or more, to encourage continuing theological study;
-
Grants to clergy for sabbatical projects involving research and writing.
The fund was founded in 1916 within a definite Anglo-Catholic tradition. The first twelve Trustees included the Principal of Pusey House, Oxford, and the Secretary of the English Church Union.
Applicants are asked to submit a brief theological statement expressing their understanding of this tradition, and supporting their claim to stand within it.
The fund is an academic trust. It finances the purchase of books that will contribute to a library of lasting value and thus support its beneficiaries’ ministry of preaching and teaching. It also aims to help those who show promise of enriching the Church in the sphere of theological scholarship.
All correspondence with the Fund should be conducted through the Clerk, Mr John Hanks.
