An Introduction to the Halls of Nashotah

Labin Duke

Once a Son or Daughter of the House, always a Son or Daughter of the House . . . yet, because of Nashotah House’s remarkable model of formation, community, and worship, after students leave the House, they often find themselves missing their people and feeling bereft of those fundamental components that contribute to their ongoing growth. Unless alumni return to campus for more coursework or to attend a conference (and we hope you do!), they may feel their alma mater has little else to offer after they graduate.

We’re here to change all that, and we’ve been working on an idea that could be part of the answer. Dubbed “The Halls of Nashotah,” a draft proposal of the concept is explained more fully here: https://nashotah.edu/alumni/halls/.

We’re pitching you this idea because we’re committed to providing opportunities for connection and formation beyond the point of graduation. However, this isn’t a plan that can work just from our end. We need you, our Nashotah House alumni, to provide input and feedback. 

No one knows better than you what you need – and what you have to offer – at this point in your ministry. Whether you’re just beginning a curacy or are seasoned and have perhaps learned a few things “the hard way,” we’re confident that the exchange of ideas among those who share the bond of Nashotah House will encourage all who participate and bear fruit for the church.

So, we have two requests as you consider the Halls of Nashotah:

1. Please look over the proposal found on https://nashotah.edu/alumni/halls/ and fill out the short survey at the bottom with your candid comments and questions.

2. Complete the Halls sorting quiz included in the center of this copy of The Missioner (Fall 2021 issue) and return it to us using the included postage-paid envelope, or go to https://nashotah.edu/alumni/halls/ to take the quiz online.

THANK YOU!
