*The Morris DeLaney Walker Award was established in 1973 with the intent of honoring and acknowledging an outstanding layperson who demonstrated the distinguished and exemplary service to their local church, community and conference as modeled by Mr. Walker. The award includes a $500 scholarship for continuing spiritual education. Though the award has been bestowed on both outstanding laity and clergy since 1975, the decision was made in 2014 to go back to the original intent and reserve it only for the laypersons of the CTC.
