Subject: Sacred Essay Contest: One More Week to .
Find Your Sacred Essay Contest:
Deadline Friday, May 15
The Center for Interfaith Relations is soliciting essays in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Essays should explore themes of connection, contemplation and common action in times of social distancing. 

The contest is open for one more week!

Cross-genre work that investigates sacred themes are welcome, especially those exploring the intersection of the sacred and daily life. Featured selections will be published on our website.

Manuscripts should be a Microsoft Word document between 500 and 5,000 words, double spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font, with no headers or footers. Include a cover page with author name and title.
Poetry of the Sacred Returns Summer 2020

We at the Center for Interfaith Relations are looking forward to the 2020 Thomas Merton Prize in Poetry of the Sacred. We recognize that writers have a duty to capture a moment in time, and our current times contain a multitude of moments that are changing our world in profound ways. 

The Poetry of the Sacred contest will accept submissions throughout July, with winners announced in September. The winning poems and three runners-up will be published in the winter 2020 edition of Parabola Magazine. 

While you wait for Poetry of the Sacred to come around, please consider submitting to the Find Your Sacred Essay Contest. 
Find Your Sacred Book Club Update
We are continuing to read (and thoroughly enjoy!) Wendell Berry's essay collection "What Are People For?"

All are welcome to join the conversation over at our #FindYourSacred Book Club page on Facebook. Over the next few weeks, we will continue to pose questions and share thoughts on the book.

Not on social media? Simply check out our weekly newsletter for questions to contemplate — and feel free to email your thoughts. We'll chronicle the conversation on our blog.
Center for Interfaith Relations | 415 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd., Louisville, KY 40202
