Overview
Anti-Racism Leadership Training
With growing ethnic diversity in the communities served by
Eastern District Conference (EDC) churches, the Conference Administrative Board (CAB) has made
it a priority to arrange for leadership anti-racism training. CAB members participated in training
sessions last year; now we encourage all pastors and church leaders to sign up for basic anti-racism
training.
Anti-racism training is also a national priority for Mennonite Church USA.
Scholarship assistance is available for Mennonites who are members of MCUSA congregations. See
details about the scholarship program below, or contact

Eastern
District Scholarship Program for Leadership Development
EDC (and MCUSA) pastors and other church leaders may apply for scholarship assistance for
anti-racism training.
In general, the leadership development fund of EDC provides matching funds with congregations and
conference-related ministries subsidizing educational opportunities for
pastors in active assignment, persons aspiring to pastoral ministry
seeking additional training for their service, and staff of
conference-related ministries aiming to improve their skills and
leadership abilities in order to more effectively carry out their ministries.
Contact Warren Tyson [warrent@easterndistrict.org;
(267) 932-6050] with questions about
eligibility or the application process.
