FROM THE PRESIDENT
You're invited to something special
In a time that calls for people to step forward for the good of the planet, MTSO has become a beacon. This school attracts – and sends forth – leaders who are committed to the stewardship of the earth. I’m happy today to offer you a unique opportunity to be part of helping that beacon to shine even brighter.
Step back for a moment and imagine that you’re learning for the first time about a theological school that has emerged as a leader in its community and among its peers in the area of ecotheology. Picture a seminary whose curriculum integrates justice and sustainability ; a school that employs new, green technology to heat, cool and power its facilities; a campus with an organic farm that offers good food, education and inspiration to its broader community.
Is that a place that might be worthy of a special investment on your part?
MTSO is that place. To celebrate what we’ve achieved and to help us build on this work in the future, we’ve planned a special fundraising event for Wednesday, July 19, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. We’re calling it An Evening on the Farm, and it will be unlike anything this school has hosted before.
Come enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres featuring fresh food from Seminary Hill Farm and other local sources. Take a tour led by our farmers. As live music plays in the background, talk with people who came to MTSO specifically to engage ecotheology as part of their teaching and learning. And be among the first to learn about our next steps in this important work.
Find out more about An Evening on the Farm and to register to be a part of it.
Many of you have seen – and tasted – for yourselves the things that are setting MTSO apart. Now I hope you’ll come and share in the satisfaction of contributing to something special. Reserve your place today. See you on July 19.
