Have Mercy Book Launch
September 1, 2026 | 7:00 p.m. | Virginia Theological Seminary

Join the Saint Nicholas Center for Faith and Justice for the launch of Have Mercy, a collection of essays from faculty at Virginia Theological Seminary and General Theological Seminary exploring the Gospel’s call to mercy in our contemporary political and social landscape.
Inspired by the witness of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde and the work of the Have Mercy Initiative, this evening will feature a panel discussion with contributors reflecting on faithful leadership, spiritual formation, and the practice of mercy in a divided world. Together, panelists will consider how churches, seminaries, and communities can form leaders equipped to meet the challenges of this moment with courage, compassion, and hope.

The event will include audience Q&A, book sales, and a reception. Registration is encouraged.
