Gwen Bewsher, a lifelong member of St Luke's congregation, was very enthusiastic about the
benefits of travel in a Christian context and part of her bequest to St Luke's was designated to
provide scholarships of up to £1000 to support appropriate travel projects. The Christian
context of the project could be devotional, such as a pilgrimage, educational and theological,
such as a study visit to experience worship in churches of different denominations, charitable,
such as taking part in an inland or overseas development scheme in a deprived area,
architectural and historical, such as a tour of churches and cathedrals to study how the
buildings developed not only as places of worship but also as expressions of faith or any other
well argued context.
Applicants should be aged from 18 to 25, resident in the
diocese of Rochester. They should prepare an application to
include the following details:
1. The aim of the project
2. The detailed travel plans including the dates of travel and
evidence that the applicant knows enough about the proposed
project to be able to carry it out thoroughly and safely.
3. The overall costs expected and what contribution, if any, the
applicant can make
4. Copies of proposed travel insurance details.
5. What benefits the applicant hopes to achieve from the
project.
6. What contact arrangements with a home base the applicant
will have in the event of an emergency.
