Karen's Fall Reading Recommendations

I hope everyone on campus is now settled for Fall Semester 2016!
I wanted to celebrate the Fall season, not just for cooler temperatures, but for its traditions, celebrations and beautiful changes to Mother Nature. With that in mind, in our Library’s collection I have found a couple of inspirational books and a well-known essay by Henry David Thoreau. I searched some fun facts about Fall, and interesting information about the Autumn Equinox. There is even a playlist of great worship songs for autumn--I got you covered!
Come in and take a look in our display cases – you might read or see something you never knew or saw before!

New Archives Exhibit: Signed Mother Teresa Biography

The Seminary Archives has a new exhibit up featuring our newest acquisition! On September 9th, 2016 Rev. Richard Englund donated a biography signed by Mother Teresa during a special Morning Prayer service in commemoration of her canonization. Mother Teresa was canonized, "St. Teresa of Calcutta" on September 5, 2016 by the Roman Catholic Church. Rev. Englund also donated a photograph of St. Teresa with Alice DeGama Brown, whom is the connection between Rev. Englund and the biography written by Navin Chawla.

An important figure to all Christians around the world, the Seminary Archives is delighted to have this signed biography and photograph. We welcome anyone who would like to view them in the A.R. Wentz Library lobby.
