Summer fellowship: the cotton mather fellowship graduated its fourth cohort in summer 2025. Each year, fellowship gathers a unique network of young american protestants for a summer-long education and vocational experience. Key topics include political theology, moral order, christian civic engagement, and american history. The fellows meet weekly for video discussions of key texts in the western philosophical and religious tradition, with the goal of providing an intellectual foundation to their christian faith. The capstone of the fellowship is a three-day in-person retreat full of intellectual discussions and team-building activities. The fellows leave this experience equipped and encouraged to carry their newfound learning into their vocations.

Online publication: the american reformer online journal published over 450 articles and received almost 1 million pageviews in 2024. Both of these numbers were nearly double the corresponding numbers in 2023, and they continue our trend of steady growth year-over-year. The journal has continued to bring attention to the most important issues facing american christians. Our incisive commentary backed by deep historical reflection has attracted a diverse and loyal readership that continues to grow.
