Graduate students 
receive Schisler awards

     NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Eight graduate students who have chosen
careers as local church Christian educators are recipients of the
1997-98 John Q. Schisler Graduate Awards.
     Given by the United Methodist Board of Higher Education and
Ministry's Office of Loans and Scholarships and the board's 
Section on Deacons and Diaconal Ministries, the eight scholarships
total $13,700.
     The grants honor the late John Q. Schisler, executive
secretary of the former Methodist Board of Education's local
church division. Recipients receive the annual award on the basis
of academic standing, leadership ability, character, need,
vocational goals in Christian education, and commitment to Christ
and the mission of the church.
     The 1997-98 recipients are:
     *  Kimberly Broerman, the Divinity School, Duke University, 
Durham, N.C.;
     *  Darlene Cools, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary,
Evanston, Ill.;
     *  Camille A. Reeves, Saint Paul School of Theology, Kansas
City, Mo.;
     *  Karen Martindell, Methodist Theological School in Ohio,
Delaware, Ohio;
     *  Lisa A. Marchal, Methodist Theological School in Ohio;
     *  Allison Carr, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary;
     *  Rita Yackley, Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Ky.;
     *  Nancy Walker, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.
     According to Jimmy Carr, staff executive in the section on
deacons and diaconal ministries, the recipients of these
scholarships represent "significant support for specialized
ministry in the church and offer a bright future for servant
leaders in Christian education and the permanent diaconate in the
United Methodist Church."
