Dear Friends of Auburn,

Each week, you will receive a Letter to the Future delivered to your email box. These letters are written by Auburn Theological Seminary leaders and partners who believe that a healed future is not only necessary but possible.

In these times of deep polarization, Auburn is leaning into a vision where religious, faith, and cultural leaders build community and bridge divides.

The first Letter to the Future comes as a video from Auburn's President, Rev. Dr. Emma Jordan-Simpson. Her words are excerpted from her vision for Auburn shared during the installation event on June 1.

As you receive these letters, please send us your responses. We would be happy to share selected responses in the following week's Letter to the Future.

Auburn's Letter to the Future shares a collective vision where all thrive. They come from those who are working towards that vision every day. If you want to be featured in the Letters to the Future campaign, contact Auburn's Dean, Rev. Patrick B. Reyes, Ph.D., at preyes@auburnseminary.org.

To learn more about Auburn's leadership programs, Center for Storytelling and Narrative Change, or Center for Research, head to auburnseminary.org.

Sending all the love to each of you as we write a better letter to the future.
