Welcome
Welcome to the Spring 2020 issue of Candler Connection, the magazine for alumni and friends of Candler School of Theology. Connection is designed to foster community among the 8,200+ Candler alumni around the world.
The last issue of Connection was published in fall of 2015. A lot has happened since then! In this issue, we’ll catch you up on the most significant happenings that have shaped our community in the interim. We’ll also consider the theme “Rethink,” as in The United Methodist Church’s campaign to “Rethink Church,” and Candler’s own innovations to think in a new way about pastoral leadership.
