Two of the Baptist Joint Committee’s most popular programs have quickly approaching deadlines.
BJC Fellows Program
Young professionals interested in deepening their historical, legal and theological understanding of religious liberty have until Feb. 16 to apply for the BJC Fellows Program. Created in 2015, the program brings 10 people together from diverse backgrounds, teaching and equipping them for advocacy. The cornerstone of the program is the BJC Fellows Seminar, which will be held July 27-31 in Colonial Williamsburg. The program covers most travel and lodging for the seminar. Go to our website at BJConline.org/Fellows for application details and links to pages and videos featuring members of the 2015 class.
Religious Liberty Essay Scholarship Contest
High school juniors and seniors have until March 4 to submit their essays for this year’s scholarship contest. The topic centers on conflicts that arise when elected or appointed government officials have religious objections to job duties. For the complete topic, rules and entry form, visit BJConline.org/contest.
