Dear friend in Christ,

I was a senior at a Pentecostal university. It was Ash Wednesday at a little Episcopal Church, St. Luke's in Cleveland, Tennessee. In that open-minded, open-hearted season of college life, this young adult knew, in the words of Bob Dylan, "something is happening here."

Through the Episcopal Church and its stewardship of Anglicanism I would encounter liturgy, Holy Orders, and the sacraments, as well as great literature, an appreciation of beauty, engagement with culture, and an intellectual tradition that challenged as well as strengthened and stabilized my faith. I didn't meet Jesus for the first time at St. Luke's. But I did begin to discover my own root system, my belonging, in the ancient Church he loves.

If you'd like to encourage, challenge, and inform young adults in their own faith — specifically in the Episcopal and Anglican "branch of the Jesus Movement" — support our new College Subscription Program. Your donation of $100 gives five college students a free year of The Living Church. Along with trusted church news, theology, Scripture study, cultural reviews, and charitable engagement across difference, this is a gift of rootedness.

Your donation today helps ensure the future of The Living Church, as well as a new and engaged Anglican generation. In a world of lonely self-determination, few gifts feel more timely than finding and loving where you belong.

Your donation today, in any amount, will help support new, free college subscriptions.

Thanks for all you do to support our readership, and to minister to the young adults in your life.

In his peace,
