Looking Ahead to Next Year

by AJ Gretz and Brandon Haan

We would like to say "thank you" for making this a great year with the Kerux! Thank you to all of our contributors this year, who provided informative and thought-provoking articles. And thank you, CTS community, for reading the Kerux this year, and engaging with the ideas we've been discussing.

As the Kerux goes forward into next year, our hope is that we can continue to use the paper to provide a safe place for students to have their voices and ideas heard. Although our school faces more changes in the next year, our goal is to work alongside the incoming administration to provide a sounding board for student ideas in a responsible and loving way.

As we look ahead to next year, we hope to continue the conversations we've had this year about sexuality, the curriculum, and the nature of pastoral ministry, both in the Kerux and, more importantly, in the hallways of our community. We also hope to explore new topics, including (but certainly not limited to) the obstacles that stand in the way of CTS being a more diverse community.

We hope and pray that you will take advantage of the power of the written word to process and refine the experience of being a student at CTS, and the issues we face as future pastors, teachers, and leaders in the Church.

May God give you all you need for this summer ahead, and beyond.
