Dear fellow alumni, parents, and friends of Moravian University and Theological Seminary,
We are at the height of an interesting time in seminary education. Never before has the world had a greater need for the compassion of our seminary students through their faith and understanding—to find direction in life, comfort in community, and solace in relationships. As Andy Hart shared, Moravian University and Moravian Theological Seminary are engaged in an ambitious endeavor, entering the public phase of a comprehensive campaign called Lighting the Way.
In Lighting the Way for Our Students, Moravian Theological Seminary aims to increase endowments and scholarships, mainly through the Seminary Annual Fund, to allow more students to grow in their theological understanding without the worry of economic burden. We can invite the global community to enter our doors by providing international scholarships. Every day, we at the seminary strive to provide excellence in teaching, scholarship, leadership, and service.
In Lighting the Way for Their Future, Moravian Theological Seminary is looking to guarantee our students world-class theological education and experiential learning opportunities. Through this investment, we can instill core values of leadership and continual inquiry and reflection within our students—values that extend far beyond the walls of the seminary into the ever-changing world.
In Lighting the Way for the Next Generation, Moravian Theological Seminary hopes to provide state-of-the-art facilities and technology. Investing in these tools will ensure that our students, regardless of their location in the world, have access to lifelong spiritual, vocational, and personal growth and an uninterrupted connection with the seminary community.
As vice chair of the campaign committee and a member of the seminary board of trustees, I assure you the gifts of this transformational campaign will shed light on our current students and on the generations that will grace our seminary for years to come. Please join us in Lighting the Way for Moravian University and Moravian Theological Seminary.
Sincerely,
The Rev. Dr. Nola Reed Knouse S’09
Vice Chair, Campaign Committee
Seminary Board Member
