Columbia Theologic al Seminary Report oN 2012–2013 Ac ademi c Y ear

1

This fall begins the 186th year for Columbia Theological Seminary.

Over 350 students are enrolled with 35% representing racial-ethnic minority populations. Last spring, we welcomed an accreditation committee which renewed our accreditation for another 10 years.

Va n tag e P o i n t

Following the Faithful God “Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.”

In Genesis 15, God comes to Abram with a vision under a starry sky.

God makes more than just an assurance that Abram will have a child. His descendants, and God’s people, will someday be more numerous than all the stars he could possibly count.

Through the dry, clear atmosphere without any nearby cities, the stars within Abram’s view would have numbered in the billions.

At a time when the world population was still less than 15 million, Abram could not have even imagined that many people.

Ultimately, this covenant is not about numbers as much as a steadfast promise made to one person by the One who is faithful. In our effort to be “faithful disciples” living faithful lives ourselves, we can forget the fundamental gift of grace that God is for us.

In this edition of Vantage, we are talking about what it means to be “faithful disciples who live consistently with focus and integrity.” It seems almost like a contradiction to talk about being faithful in a changing world. We can mistakenly assume that our task is to stubbornly take our stand against anything around us that may seem out of place.

At the same time, we are not called to be blown about by every wind of change.

In my last column, I reminded us that we are in “God’s changing world.” As such, God brings change not only to the world, but to us as well. God is on the move, and our goal is to keep pace. God initiates change in us to transform the world, and God also initiates change in the world to transform us.

I’m always excited to see updates from our students, staff and faculty who travel around the region and all over the world for various conferences, internships, and our Explorations opportunities. These experiences are sometimes

every bit as formational as Abram’s trip from Ur to Canaan. Each student sees and does wildly different things, but all of them know that the same God is at work wherever they may be.

Faithfulness is not always about being unchanging and static, nor is it always about “going with the flow.”

Faithfulness does not always manifest itself in grand and revolutionary gestures.

Sometimes, all we are being asked to do is to be present for a neighbor in need. It is always about being consistently responsive to the dynamic of God’s Spirit and the character of Christ. We are faithful disciples only to the extent that we listen to the leading of the God who is faithful.

Just as a church is a group of people rather than a building, a seminary is not an institution as much as a gathering of God’s people sent into the world for a special purpose. Our task at Columbia Theological Seminary is to continue seeking this same faithful God who is persistent in making a connection with humanity and all Creation.

We, as faithful disciples, are to live out of this connection and draw others in with us. All of life possesses a certain integrity when we do this well. Still we are tested at every point in a fallen world.

So we need to keep imagining possibilities which are still unfolding. At Columbia we are preparing leaders for challenges which have yet to emerge. All the while, we focus on the One who is faithful.

Cliffs Notes for the Spiritually Reluctant Israel Galindo, Associate Dean of Lifelong Learning This following was presented as part of a sermon in Campbell Hall Chapel on September 10, 2013.

A c o u p l e o f w e e k s a g o , I found myself in one of the local bookstores, browsing as all good book-lovers must do every once in a while. I came across a rack of Cliffs Notes.

You remember these, don’t you? The answer to every academically challenged college student’s anxiety! Written by some of the experts in academia, these small pamphlets contain the answers to the deeper questions about some of the world’s greatest literary works. Over the years, they have become the salvation of many academically reluctant students, promising to raise grade point averages with painless alacrity.

It seems you can find a Cliffs Notes for just about everything now. From the ancient Beowulf to contemporary questionable young adult fiction, there’s a Cliffs Notes. Everything you wanted to know about each work is broken down and spelled out in bite-sized paragraphs: background on the author, synopsis, summaries and commentary, and gratefully (for students experiencing their first inklings of the real-life economics of personal time management) a section called “review questions and essay topics!” This alone justifies spending $3.95 on a very thin book you really don’t want to purchase.

Here, for the sake of full disclosure, I’ll confess that I once used these tools for the literary challenged. We had finished studying The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in our college freshman American Literature course. The professor obviously thought there was more to it than just an adventure story about a wayward boy growing up in the South. As I surely couldn’t see more than that as the day of the final exam loomed closer, I looked to the oracle of the Cliffs Notes for answers. I’m sure it helped, since I passed the course. However, my grade on the final exam suggests that the professor suspected my keen observations on the essay questions were…less than original.

Despite the hazards of a steady diet of Cliffs Notes, there are times I wish for a volume of Cliffs Notes for the Spiritually Reluctant. I wouldn’t expect it to be a best-seller, although it may be a hit in our seminaries. Of course, no self-respecting

VANTAGE Fall 2013

seminary professor would have such a book listed on his or her course bibliographies.

So I envision hundreds of contraband copies of the Cliffs Notes for the Spiritually Reluctant finding their way to seminary campuses, wrapped in plain brown paper, tucked between the covers of a Harper Collins NRSV Study Bible and Gonzales’ The Story of Christianity (both volumes).

I wonder what the content would be. Would it contain a chapter on “The Hard Sayings of Jesus Made Easy?” Would it teach “Theological Gamesmanship” for when one is caught in an awkward theological discussion with an overlyenthusiastic elder? Would there be a section on “How to Sit Through a Chapel Sermon?” Or, “How To Get Off A Church Committee Without Feeling Guilty?” Or, “What to do When the Minister Wants To Visit”? Or, “How To Preach The Same Sermon All Year Without Your Congregants Realizing It?” And in keeping with contemporary best-sellers, surely there would be a section called “Dogmatics for Dummies.”

Of course, there can never be such a book as Cliffs Notes for the Spiritually Reluctant. Nor should there be, for the same reason that our more passionate teachers argue against the use of Cliffs Notes as a substitute for reading the actual thing.

In fact, there is just such a disclaimer on the inside cover of every copy of Cliffs Notes. It’s the first thing you read when you open it up. The text is boxed off on the page and looks disturbingly similar to the Surgeon General’s warning on packets of cigarettes—and probably just as effective.

But there is truth there: just as there is no shortcut to insight or to the attainment of enlightenment, there are no shortcuts to spiritual maturity. The classics are classics, because they open the door for us to worlds previously unseen and unimagined. They hint at greater realities than those in which we’ve become comfortable. They disturb eternal themes and feelings within us that, till the moment, had lain dormant in the slumber of ignorance. On the journey to spiritual maturity, there are no Cliffs Notes to make the path to maturity easier or smoother.

The Samaritan Woman, the woman Jesus met at the well in John 4, is such a wonderful portrait of the spiritually reluctant. Like all who are spiritually reluctant she wants the perks without the work. She wants to enjoy the fruit of the

lifelong learning

Spirit without the cultivation of the soul. And like all who Faith i s a g i ve n , are spiritually reluctant, she but growt h is is unable to see beyond the not. Mat uri ty is self and the moment to find the re sult of God’s true intent for her life. lo ss...o f th i n gs Jesus offers her eternal life, we’ ve c hos e n to living and fresh and flowing, leav e behin d. . . . like water that gushes from a fountain.

“Give me of this water, so I’ll never be thirsty again,” she asked, “and I won’t have to come out here to draw water in the heat of the day.” The spiritually reluctant are often spiritually clueless. Jesus’ pun was lost on her. She missed the punch line—didn’t get the joke—and missed the point.

In the same way, an academically reluctant student may not see beyond the simple storyline of a mischievous boy named Huck, and miss the richness of a brilliant commentary on culture and prejudice and human nature.

Faith is a given, but growth is not. Maturity is the result of loss: the loss of things we’ve chosen to leave behind, of things that hinder us from moving on, of things that will impede our progress in life and living despite our fondness for them. We need to give up our prejudices in order to see truth; beliefs in order to attain faith; certitude in order to trust; and sometimes, to let go of what we know, in order to learn.

The Greek Church Fathers said that we are like the Israelites in the desert: “we live in tents, not houses, for spiritually we are always on the move. We are on a journey through the inward space of the heart, a journey not measured by the hours of our watch or the days of the calendar, for it is a journey out of time and into eternity.”

Likewise, Jesus said that now is the time when we worship not in place or places, but in Spirit and in truth.

This is our bold endeavor during our brief sojourn together. It is our peculiar and shared response of obedience in faith to the God who makes all things possible and all things new. In the midst of letting go those things that once anchored us, we remind ourselves that the thirst for life and learning can be quenched only by the One who obtained them for you and me out of an obedience even unto his death. The work of learning and spiritual growth demands such obedience of us. It is a way of life now framed by worship in Spirit and Truth with no room for shortcuts from effort, or work, or sacrifices. This is the calling we have embraced, and share. Even if, at times, reluctantly. Thanks be to God.

Teaching Spiritual Formation in the Congregation “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come to behold the face of God?” (Psalm 43:2).

So wrote the psalmist long ago, but the words are easily our own. We also thirst for God. We are hungry for a deeper, more intimate relationship with God. Our interest in spiritual formation is often related to our individual lives. We search for ways to grow closer to God through a variety of spiritual practices and may seek out others committed to the spiritual journey. But we often are unable to take the next step, which is to create a community dedicated to spiritual formation.

March 30 – April 4, Jane Vennard and the participants of the Teaching Spiritual Formation in the Congregation class will explore and engage a variety of practical ways for

building such a community by teaching spiritual formation in our congregations.

“In our time together,” Vennard says, “we will begin by discussing what we mean by spiritual formation and envision what it might look like in a congregation. We will experience practices that guide our own spiritual formation, and find ways to share these disciplines with others. We will look closely and compassionately at our own churches to discern their needs for spiritual growth. And, we will discuss specific methods for introducing spiritual formation and eliciting commitments from our congregations.”

The course will include prayer, small groups, individual reflection, and silence as well as presentations and discussion.

Participants will begin their own teaching plan and have the opportunity to share ideas with others so as to learn from one another.

All are invited to join the conversation. Details and registration information may be found at www.CTSnet.edu/ Lifelong-courses-and-events or by calling 404-687-4577.

This annual event brings together pastors and other church leaders with a special interest in evangelism. The program will be led by Ralph C. Basui Watkins, associate professor of evangelism and church growth.

The number one device in the world today is the cell phone. How do we share the gospel with a generation that lives through a mobile device? The seminar will focus on how we share the gospel with a generation that lives via the small screen. We will look at the generation some call the “the screen share generation” and consider how we might effectively build relationships and foster discipleship with them from the virtual world to the face to face world.

This is an application-based program. Qualified applicants will be accepted until we reach maximum enrollment. For more information and a link to the application, go to http://www.

CTSnet.edu/thompson-scholars. The application deadline is December 1, 2013. Applicants will be notified of their status by January 15, 2014. Preference will be given to applicants who have not participated in the Thompson Scholars program within the past 5-10 years.

The program fee of $150 includes the course fee, on-campus meals and refreshments.

Participants are responsible for their housing and transportation; on campus housing is available. This program is generously supported by an endowment in honor of Cecil Thompson, former professor of evangelism at Columbia.

The Mary Bray Spence Collection

By Chris Paton, Archivist, John Bulow Campbell Library C a m p b e l l L i b r a r y i s p l e a s e d t o a n n o u n c e the release into the archives online catalog of descriptions and photographs of the Mary Bray Spence collection of crosses and religious symbols. The collection includes nearly 760 crosses and other religious objects dating from approximately the 13th century to about 1972. Representing a variety cultures from around the world, the items were collected by Mary Bray Spence of Gulfport, Florida.

Ms. Spence began the collection while recuperating from a serious accident by asking friends who were traveling to send her crosses and continued to build the collection following her recovery.

The collection was formerly housed at the archives facility at Montreat, North Carolina and was transferred to Columbia Theological Seminary in 2007. The smallest crosses measure approximately ¼” and the largest one is 4 feet tall. The collection includes crosses and crucifixes representing many countries, Christian traditions, and time periods.

It also includes some items from other religions and examples of cross motifs used in nonreligious items, such as military medals.

Many of the items were made to be worn for decorative or devotional purposes. These are made of materials such as gold, sterling silver, precious and semi-precious gems, ivory, hair, and wood. Other crosses were made for display or practical use. Materials include metals, wood, bone, glass, plastic, stone, textiles, and other media. Unusual and rare items include Victorian hair crosses, Maria Laach limited edition crosses, elaborate filigree items, items attributed to indigenous peoples of several regions, and many unique, hand-made crosses.

The collection also includes modern costume jewelry, souvenir crosses, and other mass-produced items.

Over the past few years, archives staff members examined the crosses, housed them in new containers, and created catalog records for them. Beginning in the fall of 2012, student Myung Jin Chae (’15) worked with archives staff member Meredith Torre to photograph the crosses, so that they can be viewed online. The catalog records and images can be viewed from the link on this page: http://www.

CTSnet.edu/library-catalogs. Typing terms such as “cross” or “crucifix” will locate most of the items; additional terms can be added to look for specific types or shapes, such as “Jerusalem cross” or “ivory.”

Most of the descriptions in the catalog are very brief because the descriptions that accompanied the crosses were brief. The archives staff invites the public to look at the crosses and descriptions online and send corrections or additional information to the archivists at archives@CTSnet.edu.

An Imaginative and Resilient Summer

By Kimberly Clayton, Director of Contextual Education

Feasting on the Gospels Published T h e f i r s t t w o v o l u m e s of Feasting on the Gospels (Matthew) were released in early October. This has been a joint project of Columbia Seminary and Westminster John Knox Press alongside the Feasting on the Word series.

Feasting on the Gospels is to be a new seven-volume series following up on the success of the Feasting on the Word series. It will provide another unique preaching resource, this time on the most prominent and preached upon New Testament books, the four Gospels. With contributions from a diverse and respected group of scholars and pastors, Feasting on the Gospels will include completely new material that covers every single passage in the New Testament Gospels, making it suitable for both lectionary and non-lectionary use. Moreover, these volumes will incorporate the unique format of Feasting on the Word, with four perspectives for preachers to choose from for each Gospel passage: theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical. Feasting on the Gospels will provide a special resource for all who preach, either continuously or occasionally, on the Gospels.

F i f t y - f i v e s t u d e n ts f ro m C o l u m b i a engaged in a variety of internships over the summer of 2013.

The majority of students served congregations, but others served as chaplains in hospitals and community ministries through CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education), as teachers in an educational institution, and one student served in a non-profit community-rebuilding agency in downtown Baltimore. These opportunities for Contextual Education help our students integrate academic knowledge with the practice of ministry, develop pastoral skills, gain greater vocational clarity, and receive vital feedback on their strengths as well as areas for further growth.

As Columbia Theological Seminary focuses on helping our students to develop a pastoral imagination and to become resilient leaders for God’s changing world, this summer has provided challenging opportunities: •B ethany and Kate went to South Africa and Kenya respectively to experience ministry in a new culture.

•E rin served two churches in Las Cruces, New Mexico —one Spanish-speaking and one English-speaking.

•L isle went to Asheville, NC to employ her artistic abilities by combining faith and the arts in congregational worship and in community mission through a non-profit ministry.

• J ehunghoon served a Korean congregation that stresses fervent prayer in its life together. The form of prayer is called Tongsung Gido which means “prayer at the top of one’s voice.”

•C andi and Marcus served an exciting new church development in a neighborhood where many live below the poverty line, and the church is trying to make a broad impact.

• J ason decided to visit the congregation a week before his internship. As he walked through the door, a member greeted him saying, “Jason, our pastor has just phoned in and is very sick. Can you preach for us today?” Jason quickly scribbled some notes of a sermon outline as the prelude music began.

•W ill co-officiated at three funerals within a four-week time span—all in different settings: one in the church sanctuary, one at the funeral home, and another at the cemetery mausoleum.

•F red learned about blending a traditional Presbyterian congregation and reformed style of worship with the faith and culture of the Mizo immigrant community who is joining in growing numbers. Their joyful singing is contagious and laypeople lead most of the service, often including the preaching.

Ridgley learned a lot about resilience while serving as a pastoral intern at Sunrise Presbyterian Church on Sullivan’s Island, SC. Vance Polley is the pastor and served as her Supervisor. The Sunrise congregation learned about resilience when their church building was destroyed in 1989 by hurricane Hugo. An outpouring of donations from all over the country helped them rebuild. Since then, the congregation has used some of the funds donated and their own resources to establish a mission fund. They have engaged in many projects in their community and beyond.

A recipient of mission themselves, being a mission to others is now a hallmark of this congregation.

But Ridgley was to learn something more personal about resilience. In the last few miles of a 4-day bike ride for charity, Ridgley had an accident, falling onto a bridge made of steel grates. The fall heavily damaged her knee. When I talked to her, she was staying home for the week, taking pain medication and keeping her leg propped up— yet still working on a sermon and a lesson plan for the coming Sunday.

Only 7 days after the accident, Ridgley preached at both services and taught an adult class in between—from a wheelchair! When I visited her two weeks after the accident, she had graduated to a crutch. I was awed by her good spirits and calm demeanor.

What follows are excerpts from an article she wrote for the church newsletter. Resilient indeed, with eyes able to see the steadfast love God that endures forever!

me to a bed. It was here, when I didn’t have my mom and dad that strangers came and cared for me lovingly. It was humbling. Love in Action.

This week I’ve been overwhelmed with flowers, emails and phone calls, and gifts, and simple help from those that aren’t my family. Those that were strangers. Those that I now call family. This is the love in action that I think we read about in 1 John.

Today I invite you to go from this place, and love. Love with God’s sacrificial love that knows no bounds. Live for moments when we can encourage, comfort, hold a stranger when they’re in need. Leave this place and love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. Love one another, pulling one another along, protecting one another when the time comes. Keep pedaling through the journey, even if you’ve fallen at mile one. Encourage one another to continue biking one more mile through the journey, whatever struggles lie ahead. Most importantly, I invite you to open yourself up to accept the love that is given to you. If you’re hurting, if you’re on the brink of giving up, even if you’re sure you can do it on your own. Open up and accept God’s steadfast love in action.

Strangers becoming lifelines. Love in action.

My bike lost control on the drawbridge over the Ashley River, and Lori and I both went down. I rolled out of traffic yelling to see if she was okay. I was met with Tracey, holding my head in her arms, calmly telling me not to look at my leg. I was hurt. I was very hurt. All my friends that I had only known for a few short hours were now holding me, comforting me, and helping me get the care I needed.

Love in Action.

When I got to the ER my nurse was a girl I grew up with in high school. I was surrounded by strangers, and here was a friend to care for me in my time of need.

Sing a New Song

A Review of Glory to God by Stephen M. Fearing ’14 (MDiv/MAPT) “ T h e h y m n a l , f r o m s ta rt t o f i n i s h , i s m e a n t t o h av e a p l o t l i n e … [it is] all about a narrative story of salvation.” David Eicher, the editor for the new hymnal of the Presbyterian Church (USA) called Glory to God, spoke these words during a conversation that we had earlier this year. “The past six years,” he said, “have been a journey to embody the musical story of God’s action in the world and our response, as God’s people, in this current historical context.” Indeed, Glory to God will allow God’s people in today’s Church to sing their part of the salvific history of the creation’s Divine Composer.

T e l l i n g t h e S to ry Glory to God’s cohesive narrative can perhaps be best separated into three major sections of hymns: • God’s actions (past, present, & future) . . . . . . . . . . . Hymns 1-384 • Our worship of God . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hymns 385-610 • Our faithful response (past, present, & future) . . . . . Hymns 611-853 The structure reveals a profound theological statement: the worship to which we are called exists, quite literally, in the space between the reality of God’s actions upon our lives and our human response to this narrative. This outline is not intended to present the narrative in a strictly linear timeline (i.e. what God has done in the past, what worship we are doing in the present, and what our response will be in the future). Instead, God’s actions and our faithful response are represented as two sides of the same “musical coin.” One cannot be spoken of justly without the other in either past, present, or future terms.

A refreshing aesthetic characteristic of the new hymnal is that each and every text contains, at the bottom of the page, a few sentences that will enhance congregations’ embodiment of the music. These “blurbs” for each hymn serve to inform the reader/singer of relevant facts including: • Historical information about the author or hymn • Statements regarding its theological purpose • Applications of the text to current events • Suggestions regarding liturgical use

VANTAGE Fall 2013

There is a total of 225 texts, approximately 25% of Glory to God, devoted to what I will call “liturgically specific” texts (sung portions of liturgy or service music). In addition, Glory to God will also include thirty pages of liturgical resources for congregations, drawn primarily from The Book of Common Worship.

The contents of Glory to God also reflect the exciting renewal in the singing of the Psalms.

Recent publications such as Michael Morgan’s Psalter for Christian Worship and the Calvin Institute’s Psalms for All Seasons have helped reintroduce Christian communities to a rich heritage of singing the Psalms in worship. Rather than placing all of the Psalms together, the members of the hymnal committee chose to spread the Psalms throughout the hymnal to help educate congregations on how the respective Psalms can be used for liturgically specific portions of regular worship.

S h a r i n g A c r o ss C u lt u r e s Mary Louse Bringle, the chair of the Presbyterian Committee on Congregational Song which was responsible for compiling Glory to God, has likened denominational hymnals to a family album. Like family photo albums, hymnals bring together all sorts of family and friends for the purpose of sharing and expressing a common narrative. Families, however, are not static entities, but rather grow and change. Younger generations are born and are welcomed into the narrative, joining generations that preceded them. Denominational hymnals, likewise, are diverse entities which embody the sung story of a people young and old, male and female, from a variety of cultures and experiences.

Glory to God will feature music from the global community, including music from Korea, China, the Middle C o lu m b i a C o n t r i b u to r s to East, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. In my conversation Glory to God with Glory to God editor, David Eicher, he marvels at the fact that, in this post-modern world, a Christian community in C o m m i tt e e M e m b e r s : tribal Africa can sing a worship song from its own tradition Dr. Paul Huh, Assistant Professor of Worship which can be immediately shared with a click of a button Rev. Adam Copeland, MDiv ’09 to any fellow sister or brother in Christ around the world.

Rev. Eric Myers, MDiv ’91 Such simultaneous interconnectedness simply was not available when the previous hymnal was being compiled W o r s h i p C o n s u lta n t : in the late eighties. Glory to God takes advantage of this Dr. Kimberly Long, Associate Professor of Worship global interconnectedness and gives voice to our increasing awareness of the fact that our faith family is one of many Authors & Composers: colors, many languages, and many voices!

Dr. Brian Wren, Professor Emeritus Michael Morgan, Seminary Musician T h e N e w F a m i ly A l b u m Glory to God is an appropriate balance between the H y m n a l P r o j e c t S ta ff : family that we have been, the family that we are now, and Mary Margaret Flannagan ’06 the family that God is calling us to be. Despite the fact that Glory to God will contain almost 250 more texts than its 1990 predecessor, it will be roughly the same size and will, in fact, weigh less than the previous hymnal. Unlike the 1990 hymnal, Glory to God will be made available as a digital eBook and will also be published in a projection edition that will be useful for churches that use projectors in worship.

Perhaps the most attractive aspect of Glory to God is its flexibility. With 853 hymns and songs to choose from, a variety of worshiping communities will find the hymnal to be a helpful resource for generations to come. Glory to God is not the first hymnal of the PC(USA) and neither will it likely be the last. However, for our time, the new Presbyterian hymnal will provide diverse congregations the means by which to sing the faith and give glory to God as we have been called to do.

Stephen Fearing is finishing his fourth and final year of study at Columbia where he is working on his Masters of Divinity and Masters of Arts in Practical Theology with an emphasis in Worship. After graduating from Presbyterian College in 2010, he moved to Atlanta to continue his studies and work towards becoming ordained as a Teaching Elder in the PC(USA).

You can learn more about Stephen at his blog (stephenmfearing. wordpress.com) where he posts sermons, liturgies, hymns, liturgical art, and other things of the geeky liturgical persuasion.

David Bartlett, Professor Emeritus Baccalaureate Sermon*: Columbia Theological Seminary May 17, 2013 2 Corinthians 3:1-6

I t h a s n o t b e e n s u f f i c i e n t ly n o t e d by New Testament scholars that, when he wrote 2 Corinthians, Paul was undoubtedly considering becoming an apostle Emeritus.

Otherwise it is hard to understand why he takes time to talk quite so much about himself. He is clearly slipping into what my fellow Emeritus professor David Kelsey calls his “anecdotage.”

I was tempted to follow something of Paul’s example and talk far too much about myself during this sermon. My beloved wife told me that that would be a stunning example of self-indulgence. My dear colleague, Anna Carter Florence, assured me that it was really just testimony.

Of course, as you read 2 Corinthians it is also clear why Paul decided against retirement. A whole new generation of apostles was wandering into Corinth with exceedingly impressive credentials and stunning letters of recommendation. But nonetheless he was concerned, legitimately of course, that his beloved school—I mean his beloved congregation—would never be the same again.

So retirement got postponed.

What annoys Paul about the newcomers is not that they have letters of recommendation, but that they think those letters are somehow proof of their competence, signs of their giftedness.

“For we are not peddlers of God’s word, like so many.”

Paul’s word of warning to the confused Corinthians is also a word of encouragement for us: faculty, staff, families, students, and tonight, especially graduates.

VANTAGE Fall 2013

“Such is the confidence we have through Christ toward God.” Forget the credentials and the diplomas and the prizes for a minute; forget the letters of recommendation we wrote for you seniors to the graduate schools and the committees on ministry and even those phone calls where we honestly, and I do mean honestly, assured the eager committee member that yes, you really are quite terrific.

For the moment forget all that. For the moment remember what Paul says: Christ is our recommendation, and God is our sufficiency. “Such is the confidence we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves; our competence comes from God.” “Okay, superapostles,” says Paul, and of course by “super” he means, “not all that great.” “Okay superapostles, you show me your letters of recommendation. I’ll show you what I’ve got. God is my sufficiency and Christ is my Lord, and oh by the way, if you want to talk about letters of recommendation I’ve got those, too.”

These people, these Corinthians, are my letters of recommendation.

We all know about Paul, bright light on the way to Damascus, call from God, sent on a mission. We sometimes forget Paul the pastor who was never just an apostle, he was an apostle, to somebody, always…partner in the gospel.

He was credentialed by his call, but he was also credentialed by his compassion.

God will be your sufficiency, Christ your lord, and the people your letter of recommendation.

* Editor’s Note: What appears here are highlights of the original sermon followed by a poem Prof. Bartlett wrote for his first graduating class.

commencement 2013

Those to whom you minister. Those to whom some of you will preach the gospel week after week. Those for whom some of you will consecrate bread and wine.

Those whom some of you will visit in times of deepest joy or saddest grief.

Those whom everyone of you will teach, some in the classroom, some in the parish, some as your serve them in the crowded ways of life.

Those to whom by word and deed, imperfectly but incessantly you will declare freedom from captivity and to whom by word and deed you will feed the bread of life. They are your credentials.

And you, beloved, are our credentials: Faculty, staff, administration—you students are our credentials.

Not the books we write or the lectures we give, or the budgets we balance or the towers we build. You are our credentials and were we to boast we would boast of you.

Of you and of those who preceded you and those who will follow, the astonishing company of those of us who of course do not really master divinity or theological studies or theology and who are do never quite ready to doctor anything at all. But who are servants of Christ and offspring of God You are our credentials; we carry you as a badge of honor on our hearts.

Eighty students received degrees in May 2013.This was the first year for students to receive diplomas in the dual degree program.

Degrees were conferred in seven academic programs. Dr. David L. Bartlett preached the baccalaureate sermon at Columbia Presbyterian Church. Commencement services were held at Peachtree Presbyterian Church.

The Journey I send you forth to the land that has been promised.

That it has been promised is all I know.

I do not know the shape of the land, the route that you must go, The dangers certain to befall along the way.

My small experience leads me to suggest You should expect your share of desert places Where oases vanish upon close inspection And water springs from most unlikely rocks.

Also, you should beware the golden calf, Or any beast pretending to be God. The likely candidates will have immense appeal And an unpleasant after taste.

The great advantage of the promised land Is that it will wait for you.

If on the road someone waylaid by thieves Or sudden beauty should detain you, there is time.

You will know when you have reached the land By the sudden fear you feel at the edge of grace And the strong pull of familiar Egypt on your soul.

And the knowledge that there is no turning back.

Farewell, beloved Put on the whole armor of God, but leave your heart exposed Since life, like death, demands a certain vulnerability.

And learn a song or two to sing in a strange land.

Be wise as serpents, innocent as doves; Accepting the worst from all, expecting the best.

You are less what you’ve learned than what you’ve learned to love.

Love is your journey’s name, and your final rest.

Amen

Students are still facing the increasing weight of undergraduate indebtedness, with a greater need for those wanting to come to seminary. 85% of Columbia students received financial aid with the average need-based scholarship being $10,206 and the average merit-based scholarship being $11,229. Federal loan costs increased for graduate students because they no longer have access to subsidized loans as of the 2012-13 academic year.

Columbia Founders

The Columbia Founders have demonstrated extraordinary levels of support for the seminary, some over the course of a lifetime. Words cannot adequately express the depth of appreciation felt by all friends of Columbia for the sacrificial ways in which the Founders have contributed to the seminary’s programs, buildings, and grounds. Their generosity calls all of us to practice better stewardship of what we have been given. Thanks be to God!

Dean of Students John White Accepts Call to Princeton Former Moderator of PC(USA) Appointed Interim Dean Vice President for Student Services and Dean of Students John White accepted a call as Dean of Students for Princeton Theological Seminary starting in September.

“John has been such a valued member of this community and our administrative team,” stated President Steve Hayner in a memo to the campus. “I deeply appreciate his amazing connection with so many students, his unflappable spirit, and his organizational wisdom.”

As Dean of Students, Dr. White oversaw a wide variety of student services since coming to Columbia Seminary in January 2006 including admissions, financial aid, chapel services, student government, MCA’s, student orientation, and more. The Dean also taught Presbyterian polity, helped many prepare for their ordination exams, and then find their first post-seminary call.

Dr. White previously served the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church in Princeton as their pastor throughout most of the 1990’s.

She earned her Doctor of Ministry degree from Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC, in 2009. The topic of her DMin research was helping congregations heal after conflict.

In 1978, Joan was the first woman ordained to pastor a church in Atlanta Presbytery, PC(US). Since then she has worked with ten churches in the Atlanta area.

Betsey Burgess Staff Award Each year we have the pleasure of presenting the Betsey Burgess Staff Award to a member of our staff.

Betsey served Columbia Seminary faithfully for 22 years and upon her retirement established the Betsey Burgess Staff Award. This award is given to one “who has demonstrated faithfulness, dedicated service, and Christian character upholding the Seminary’s purpose and mission.” It is open to staff associates, administrative assistants, and departmental support staff.

In the entrance way of the Business Office hangs a plaque engraved with the names of all Betsey Burgess Award recipients. We are proud to add to that plaque this year’s Betsey Burgess Award recipient, Tammy Johnson.

A lifelong reader and person of faith, it is little wonder that Tammy Johnson became a theological librarian. She received her Master of Divinity from Candler School of Theology at Emory University and a Master of Library Science from Clark Atlanta University. Tammy became the Technical Services Librarian at John Bulow Campbell Library at Columbia Theological Seminary in 2000.

In her time here, Tammy has been instrumental in multiple ways. Her skills and leadership were crucial with the incorporation of the Montreat materials. Tammy led the library to refining structures and processes which aid library patrons both in acquiring and making materials accessible.

Several times, Tammy has been called upon to step into a leadership position including as the interim Library Director.

Tammy is active in the American Theological Library Association (ATLA), presenting at the annual conference the last two years and serving on the Executive Director Search Committee. In 2013, she was appointed to the ATLA Board.

In addition to her work with ATLA, Tammy is a member of the American Library Association and the Black Caucus of the American Library Association.

C. Virginia Harrison Memorial Award In the President’s Office hangs a picture of Virginia Harrison who served Columbia in innumerable administrative capacities from 1925 to 1961.

Her official position was as secretary to the president, but she also worked as registrar, supervisor of buildings and grounds, purchasing agent, manager of the bookstore, publisher of the catalogue and bulletins, postmistress, keeper of alumni records, and assistant secretary of the board. Columbia Seminary has grown considerably since that time, but imagine fulfilling all these duties even for a much smaller group!

Upon Miss Harrison’s death in 1988, members of her family established an award to be given each year to a rising senior who is conscientious, responsible, hardworking and who shows great potential for leadership in the church. This year the Virginia Harrison Memorial Award goes to Karen B. Stevenson.

Karen is a Senior MDiv student. Married to her husband Rodrick for almost 27 years, they are the parents of Cecily, Christopher, Charlotte, and Corey. They are the proud parents of Doralyn and another precious baby girl, due in December. Prior to being called to the ministry, Karen practiced adult and child/adolescent psychiatry, working with women and children traumatized by physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Karen has spent many years speaking, writing, and preaching about women’s mental health and spiritual issues. She has been a seminar and women’s retreat leader for community and religious organizations.

At Columbia, Karen has worked on several MCA teams, served as a Scripture reading practicum teaching assistant, performed on her flute for chapel services and for Dean Deborah Mullen’s installation, sang in the CTS Gospel Choir, and served as the president of the African Heritage Seminarians Association.

Dr. Stevenson’s calling includes continuing in women’s ministry, as well as pastoral counseling. Her ministry efforts will be directed especially towards pastors and their families.

She also has a passion for teaching those who are in training for the various aspects of ministry. Dr. Stevenson has been called to inspire, exhort, and empower God’s people to walk in deep fellowship with God and to live an abundant life in Him. VANTAGE Fall 2013

February 13–16 Hildegard of Bingen Certificate in Spiritual Formation

Some 800 years ago, Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), visionary, theologian, composer, artist, physician, and naturalist received a divine mandate to awaken her contemporaries to the tremendous love God has for the whole of creation—cosmos, creatures, and especially God’s beloved humankind. She was bidden to write down the WORDS, to sketch out and illuminate the VISIONS, and to compose the MUSIC through which God wanted to re-awaken and alert her era to God’s presence in Creation.

Her insights into God’s ways with us and God’s universe correspond profoundly with the concerns of our own era that Hildegard’s work is serving as inspiring guide for contemporary living today. Instructor: Dewey Kramer

April 24–27 Inhabiting Eden Certificate in Spiritual Formation Location: Montreat Conference Center

Some think the Bible concerns only humans and God. Yet from the first creation story to the end of Revelation, Scripture imagines a larger universe inhabited by other creatures besides ourselves. Genesis 1 shows God’s pleasure with the earth and all its species long before humans appear.

Genesis 2 pictures humans made from the ground in order to serve and preserve God’s garden. The speeches of God in Job imagine nature as a wild place, barely understandable to people, yet adored by God. As we come to terms with our ecological limits, we can reignite the imagination to see more clearly our place in creation’s intricate web, to cherish more actively its delicate beauty, and to relish our responsibilities to treat life—human and other—with respect and awe.

Enjoying the Eden of Montreat and listening to Scripture, we will explore a spirituality of grateful care, and of realistic hope for facing our generation’s ecological crises. Instructor: Patricia Tull.

May 5–9 A Contemplative Retreat Certificate in Spiritual Formation

We will host two retreats at the same time: Exploring the Monastic Experience: A Contemplative Retreat for Men at St. Bernard’s Monastery, Cullman AL

Certificate in Spiritual Formation F o r a l m o s t t w o d e c a d e s , Columbia and Pittsburgh seminaries have partnered to offer courses leading to the Certificate in Spiritual Formation, a journey through which modern-day, world-weary pilgrims may quench their spiritual thirst. The Certificate in Spiritual Formation offers people in the pulpit, in the pew, in all denominations and stages of life, an exploration of community-grounded Christian spirituality that is rooted in scripture, theology, a history of the tradition, reading in the spiritual classics, prayer and meditation, and in skills for assisting others on a spiritual journey. You will learn spiritual practices experientially, and, at the same time, develop skills for helping others in their spiritual growth. And, as seminary faculty members and other carefully selected, experienced teachers guide you through structured study, you will discover the relationship in Christian spirituality between compassion, justice, and effective ministry.

“ God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might led us into the light; Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee; Lest, our hearts drunk with wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand may we forever stand, True to our God, true to our native land.”

— James Wheldon Johnson (Lift Every Voice and Sing)

We are not meant to die merely in order to be dead. God could not want that for the creatures to whom He has given the breath of life. We die in order to live.

— Elisabeth Elliot

Faith is the virtue by which, clinging to the faithfulness of God, we lean upon him, so that we may obtain what he gives to us.

— William Ames

God has to work in the soul in secret and in darkness because if we fully knew what was happening, and what Mystery, transformation, God and Grace will eventually ask of us, we would either try to take charge or stop the whole process.

— St. John of the Cross

I learned a history not then written in books but one passed from generation to generation on the steps of moonlit porches and beside dying fires in one-room houses, a history of greatgrandparents and of slavery and of the days following slavery; of those who lived still not free, yet who would not let their spirits be enslaved.

— Mildred Taylor The word “Disciple” occurs 269 times in the New Testament.

“Christian” is found three times and was first introduced to refer precisely to disciples of Jesus—in a situation where it was no longer possible to regard them as a sect of the Jews.

The New Testament is a book about disciples, by disciples, and for disciples of Jesus Christ.

— Dallas Willard, The Great Omission There is no life that does not contribute to history.

— Dorothy West

The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us, and carry out, in our ordinary conduct; the insignficances of daily life are the importances and the tests of eternity, because they prove what really is the spirit that possesses us.

— Andrew Murray

To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

— Roberta Flack Waiting is an art that our impatient age has forgotten.

It wants to break open the ripe fruit when it has hardly finished planting the shoot. But all too often the greedy eyes are only deceived; the fruit that seemed so precious is still green on the inside, and disrespected hands ungratefully toss aside what has so disappointed them.

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer You will know as much of God, and only as much of God, as you are willing to put into practice.

— Eric Liddell Proverbs are short sayings made out of long experience.

— Zora Neale Hurston VANTAGE Fall 2013
