Dr. and Mrs. John H. Leith established the Foundation for Reformed Theology to renew the theology, ethos, social vision, and hope of the Reformed and Presbyterian community. The recovery of this theology and its communities must occur first in worshiping, believing congregations. This, for all of its difficulties, is a more easily realizable goal than the reformation of society at large.

Local congregations must be taught the history, the ethos, and the theology of this particular tradition of the one, holy, apostolic, catholic church.

I am writing today to invite us all to give to the Foundation, to support our mission and work, and so to participate financially in this great endeavor for the renewal of the church. Already this year, friends of the Foundation have given $73,388 to the Foundation. For that, we are profoundly grateful.

If we could all together give an additional $75,000 in the next two weeks, by the end of the year, that would provide funding for seminars for ministers and elders, for translations and publications of Reformed theology, and for scholarships for Reformed theologians, all for the renewal of the church.

Please send your gifts to the Foundation for Reformed Theology at the address in my signature below. For more information about giving, see Donate.

Thank you for your consideration.
