Please let us know what you think by emailing pr@wtu.edu! In this Issue...

This Week at WTU
Please note: A Special Welcome
Theology EnrichmentWashington Theological Union has a wonderful, but little known benefit for alumni, diocesan clergy and local ministers. As a continuing education ministry WTU graciously allows these groups to audit one course per semester for the low, low rate of $340/course! Registration ends next Friday, November 20th, so see the Spring Course offerings and registration form now! Website RevisionAlong with this new ePISTLE you'll notice some changes at www.wtu.edu! It's not a full scale overhaul, but rather the beginning of a new effort at ongoing development with WTU's website. For now, you'll see some aesthetic changes, some Flash interactions within the site, and some increased content. Stay tuned! There's more to come. Links

Join us in celebration of the installation of Fr. Fred Tillotson, O.Carm. as the seventh president of the Washington Theological Union at a special service of Advent Lessons and Carols, December 4, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
In March of this year, the Union very unexpectedly lost one of its full-time faculty, Assistant Professor of Word and Worship Jerry Hall, S.J., who passed away following a brief illness. In a desire to celebrate Jerry’s life and to honor our community’s memory of him, the Rev. Jerome Hall, S.J. Memorial Scholarship fund was established. 
On Thursday, November 19th Washington Theological Union will welcome Christine Costello as Assistant Director of Institutional Advancement. Chris comes to the Union with a background in development, first with Catholic University of America and most recently with the Christ Child Society. Her office will be located in Room 308. Joan Knetemann will be hosting a welcome reception for her on Thursday at 3pm in Room 309. All are welcome!
