Dear John,

We can’t wait to honor Rev. David Bigsby at the We are Gamaliel: Passport to Power Virtual Fundraiser on February 27.

We’re taking the opportunity to announce the Rev. David Bigsby Religious Leaders’ Development Fund, which will support the growth of a new generation of religious leaders in the attitudes, arts, disciplines, and spirituality of community organizing.

At a time in our nation’s history that is characterized by disruption, uncertainty, and profound division, religious institutions like those that make up the base of our Network have an opportunity to reimagine themselves: To ask the hard questions of what it means to be a community of faith in this time and place; to act with courage; and respond to the needs of millions of people crying out for purpose, for hope, for connection, and for the power to transform their communities.

Rev. David Bigsby is one of those religious leaders, a courageous pastor who has served in a variety of capacities across the Gamaliel Network for more than two decades. As President of Gamaliel of Metro Chicago, President of Gamaliel of Illinois and Iowa, Chair of the Gamaliel Council of Presidents, and Member of the Gamaliel Board of Directors (just to name a few positions he has held). As Rev. Bigsby approaches retirement, we’re excited to establish this Fund to acknowledge his commitment to developing effective religious leaders 

Our goal for “seeding” this fund is $5000 by the close of our virtual fundraiser on February 27. This is an important opportunity for you to honor the work of Rev. Bigsby and to invest in the training and development of our religious leaders now and in the future.

Please register for We Are Gamaliel here, and invest here. To contribute to the Fund, please mark your investment in honor of Rev. Bigsby.
