A 2025 Long-form Series for Missio Alliance

Letters to
the Church

If the vast majority of our New Testament is written in the form of a series of letters from a human author, inspired by the Holy Spirit, to a faith community rooted in a specific social location in the Ancient Near East, addressing the cultural issues of their day, what could it look like to envision, organize, structure, and draft a letter to the Church today?

We’ve asked contributors:
What would you say to the Church if you could pause and speak with courage? Each week this fall, you’ll find an honest letter from Missio Alliance voices for this moment.
