School of Theology Hurricane Relief Efforts

School of Theology Alumnae/i,

We are saddened and concerned for our brothers and sisters in the Gulf Coast region. The profound loss in this area challenges our souls. The perseverance needed over the coming years to rebuild is daunting.

As graduates of the School of Theology, you know that God has called you to action. The profundity of tragedy reaches to the heart of human nature. Yet the eternal hope we have spurs us to action. We are called upon to make a difference in this world. I trust you will act accordingly.

Here at the School of Theology, we are busily working on a number of relief efforts driven by both students and faculty. We held an offering in Marsh Chapel last week for hurricane victims, our Community Life Office is preparing 100 hurricane kits with essential toiletries, and the Young Adult Seminarian Network Club hosted a benefit ball at Theology house for the relief efforts. Faculty and staff are working collectively here at STH as well as in their own respective churches and communities to provide relief for victims.

So, this letter is nothing more than a reminder to all of us that our time on earth is shorter than we might like it to be and our burdens are often times great; and it is in these times of suffering that the hand you lend to someone may make all the difference in the world.

Blessings.

Ray L. Hart
