Acknowledgement
A sabbatical grant from the Louisville Institute enabled me to spend a year learning more about religious leadership in a select number of Nebraska coalitions. That research provides much of the catalyst for this Collaboration-Conversations project. A vocation fellowship from Cardoner at Creighton University provided time and peer support that helped to launch this project. The Kripke Center, of which I am an associate, serves as the host for this project.
I am grateful for the many conversations that I have been privileged to have with religious leaders whom I have met over the years as I have studied clergy and local governance. Most recently, many health ministry coalition leaders from Nebraska have graciously shared their meetings and their personal stories with me. Their participation in that research project set the stage for this Collaboration-Conversations project. Many of the ideas reported in these conversations were developed or improved through this research.
Religious Institutions In Community Health Coalitions provides a short report of key findings from a year of research on health coalitions with faith-based partners.
