The University of Virginia's Project on Lived Theology has been awarded a $2.1 million grant from the Lilly Endowment to fund its operations from 2010 through 2014.
The money is the Lilly Endowment's fourth major grant to the project, a long-term theological research program exploring the relation between Christian spiritual beliefs and social practice.
Three previous Lilly grants, totaling more than $2.5 million, funded operations from 2000 through 2009. Including the new grant, Lilly has provided the project a total of $4.6 million covering 14 years.
The project regularly brings together students and religion scholars to collaborate with practitioners and activists.
The Lilly Endowment is an Indianapolis-based philanthropic foundation that supports education, religion and community development with its $7 billion endowment.
