The envelope was hand addressed to The Rev. Kevin Jones in a
black ball point pen. The cursive mailing address filled most of the front. The
back flap was imprinted with the return address from the Seminary Relations
department. Usually that meant a letter asking for a donation of some sort but
this was a card-sized envelope; maybe an invitation to a fund raising event of
some sort.
The flap wasn’t sealed all the way around so I skipped the
letter opener and slid my finger inside tearing a jagged line along the top. I
pulled out a folded card. On the front was a picture of the entrance to the one
building on the seminary campus with the traditional roman columns seen on
campuses across the country. In the upper left hand corner the seminary logo on
a mustard yellow background and on the bottom the word “CONGRATULATIONS.”
