The Oaks of Mamre Interfaith Library and Graduate Center has partnered with the Mid-Shore Community Foundation to establish The Oaks of Mamre Fund. This announcement is made by Buck Duncan, President of the Mid-Shore Community Foundation and Bishop Joel Marcus Johnson, President of The Oaks of Mamre.
As its fiscal sponsor, the Mid-Shore Community Foundation will provide fiduciary oversight and administrative services to the charitable project. The Oaks of Mamre project, now in the strategic planning phase, will be America’s premier interfaith higher education seminar institute. It will attract participants from the American and international graduate community, including theological and secular educators and students, clergy both ecumenical and interfaith, scripture specialists, scientists, historians, philosophers, musicians and artists. The institute will enable Easton and Talbot County to become as much an academic destination as it is for tourism.
A signing ceremony was recently held at the historic Bullitt House in Easton. After the ceremony, the Foundation’s marketing director, Heather Pickens, took several shots, inside and out; the photograph above was taken in the garden of Bullitt House.
