Dear Friend of Missio,
We write dozens of ‘letters’ every day–texts, emails, and social captions, in a variety of different mediums. As I reflect on this reality, two things stand out:
To be human is to communicate.
Most of our communication takes the shape of a letter.
Why is this? Perhaps it’s the simple reality that a letter naturally tells a story, carrying something of ourselves that we long to share with someone else.
This reality is one reason we are so excited about our Letters to the Church series, which launched earlier this Fall.
Each Friday, a friend of Missio writes a letter to the Church of our day, naming the urgent tensions they witness, asking tough questions (often without easy answers), and as Quaker writer Parker Palmer suggests, looking for “green stems of possibility” within the Church we all long to see thrive..
Throughout the last few months, your engagement and feedback have been remarkable, both from those writing and those reading.
