HTI could not do what it does for your Latinx scholars without YOU - HTI’s funders, member schools, supporters, editors, mentors, scholars, etc., the fiber that makes HTI the En Conjunto Family what it is today. You are a true blessing to the future of theological and religious education, and especially to the many communities around the globe impacted by your HTI scholars.
