The Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music has received a $404,000 grant for its work on gathering and developing rites to bless same-sex couples.
The grant, which is just over 16 times the $25,000 approved by General Convention for developing such blessing rites, will help the SCLM gather comments more thoroughly from across the church.
The money has been granted by the Arcus Foundation, which is based in Kalamazoo, Mich. Arcus describes its mission as achieving “social justice that is inclusive of sexual orientation, gender identity and race, and to ensure conservation and respect of the great apes.”
