The seminary wants to invite us all to practice care and compassion in the spirit of Christ during this season of uncertainty. We may expand our physical distance out of desire to care for and protect each other; at the same time let’s continue to draw close in prayer, compassion, and checking in virtually with each other and our neighbors.
