As we near the 100th Anniversary of Christian Theological Seminary (in 1924, the Butler School of Religion opened and later became Christian Theological Seminary), we give thanks for the well preserved seminary archives chock full of incredible memories. Christmas at CTS has always been a time of celebration, reflection, and gathering in community. This Christmas season, we invite you to take a walk down memory lane with us as we share photos from years past.
