In 1828, five students gathered in
the old Manse in Lexington, Georgia,
to begin a theological education. In
1 830, these students became the first
graduates of Columbia Seminary.
Consequently, May 25, 1980, marked

lin, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Auburn, Alabama, de-
livered the Baccalaureate Sermon on

Church. Stone Mountain, Georgia.
The title of his message was "Fools
and Preachers." An address entitled
"'Never Before and Never Again"
was brought to the graduating class
by Dr. Claire Randall, who for many
years served on the PCUS Board of
World Missions.

Graduates Robert Steven Hudder,
William Clark Pender, Edward James
Wojtczak, and Emmie Caldwell
Young were awarded their degrees
"With Distinction" due to outstand-
ing academic achievement.

President J. Davison Philips closed
the exercises with the reading of the
traditional Scriptural charge to the
graduates. In conclusion, he stated,
"As we look back over a period of
150 years since the first commence-
ment exercises of Columbia Theolo-
gical Seminary, we are filled with a
sense of gratitude to God. The grad-

SYNOD OF THE SOUTHEAST LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN

Columbia Seminary's Commitment
to Excellence Campaign in the Synod
of the Southeast began officially on
June 1st with the establishment of a
Campaign Office in the Student
Center on the Seminary campus. This
Campaign is the culmination of a
process initiated in 1975 by the
Board of Directors to substantially
increase the Seminary's endowment
in order to face the challenge of the
198()'s and beyond.

The Campaign, with a goal of 4.5
million dollars, is being conducted in
two phases: PHASE I (1980-81)
will include Athens, Augusta-Macon,
Cherokee, Congaree, Harmony, Pee
Dee, Piedmont, South Carolina, and
Southwest Georgia Presbyteries;
PHASE II (1981-82) will include
Atlanta, Bethel, Charleston, and
Savannah Presbyteries.

President J. Davison Philips states,
"We are most appreciative of the ap-
proval and the enthusiastic endorse-
ment of the Commitment to Ex-
cellence Campaign by the Synod of
the Southeast and the Presbyteries.
We look forward to telling the story
of what is happening in the life and
mission of Columbia Seminary and
are confident of a good response by
our constituency."

The Campaign Schedule for
PHASE I is as follows:

PREPARATORY June-Aug.. 1980
ORGANIZATIONAL June-Dec, 1980
INFORMATIONAL Sept.-Dec, 1980

SPECIAL GIFTS Sept., 1980-May, 1981
CONGREGATIONAL Jan.-Mar., 1981

The task of leadership enlistment
is now underway. The Rev. W. Frank
Harrington has agreed to serve as the
General Chairman of the Campaign.
Clergy leadership for the States will
be provided by the Rev. Randolph
Kowalski for South Carolina and the
Rev. James V. Johnson for Georgia.
Lay leaders will be announced in the
near future.

The funds raised in the Commit-
ment to Excellence Campaign will be
used to endow scholarships, endow
professorial chairs, and for the im-
provement and construction of stu-
dent housing.

FLORIDA UPDATE

The Margin of Excellence Cam-
paign in the Synod of Florida is doing
well according to Dr. Harvard A.
Anderson, General Co-Chairman. "It
is a very interesting campaign," said
Dr. Anderson, "and we are extremely
pleased with the response to date. We
have obtained pledges in excess of
$1,300,000 on a goal of $1,500,000
without the usual large inaugural
gifts. The bulk of our commitments
have come from small and medium-
sized congregations. We are confident
that many of the large churches will
participate and we will see an over
the goal subscription."

A follow-up of the churches which
have not made commitments is cur-
rently being conducted.

CTS GRADUATES WIVES

On Saturday, May 24, 1980, thirty-
four Senior Wives received their
diplomas "Masters of Patience in
Pastoral Preparation." President J.
Davison Philips presented these
honors to the wives upon the recom-
mendation of the husbands at the
reception honoring the 1980 gradu-
ates and their families. Although they
were not announced, there were many
who graduated "With Distinction"
and "Acclaimed Honors.". As one
wife put it, "Life does not stand still
for seminarians. With all of the study
and work, many of us hold down full
time jobs or are full time students
in addition to keeping the home and
raising a family." Congratulations to
all of those who earned their
M.P.P.P. degree.

FROM the PRE6DENT

if

i
/

A /
/

When we awarded 65 degrees at
Commencement this year, I exper-
ienced a special feeling of gratitude
to God. Columbia Theological Semi-
nary exists to prepare people for
effective ministry. The men and
women who received these degrees
symbolized both the opportunities
to serve and the capacity to be good
ministers of Christ.

Everyone knows that this decade
of the 80's is a time of crisis for our
Church, our Nation, and our world.
From the earliest days of the Church
in the First Century, to this present
moment, ministers of Christ have
proclaimed the gospel, cared for the
life and witness of the Church, and
also performed the Sacraments and
other pastoral duties. So it is that all

of us are investing in something
extraordinarily important.

Without the prayerful encourage-
ment of people like you, none of this
would have been possible. You
helped to articulate the call to minis-
try, to train our faculty and staff, and
to provide resources essential to our
tasks. For this, and all other things
you do, I am truly grateful. We send
you the assurance of our prayers for
God's blessing in your own life and
work.

r\ Faithfully yours,

(y J- Davison Philips

President

FOUR NEW APPOINTMENT6 AT CT6

The Board of Directors at its
meeting in April made four signifi-
cant appointments to the faculty and
staff of the seminary. The new ap-
pointees come from as close as
Decatur and as far away as Clare-
mont, California.

Peter C. Carruthers, a 1973 Alum-
nus of Columbia, was appointed to a
three year term beginning May 1,
1980, as Director of Supervised Min-
istry. Pete was Associate Pastor of

DOCTORAL DEGREES

CONFERRED

Richard A. Dodds, Director of
Seminary Relations and Develop-
ment, received his D.Min. degree
from Austin Presbyterian Theological
Seminary on May 'l8, 1980. Dick did
his work in the area of "Professional
Competencies for Particular Minis-
tries.*" Hi> projects were under the
direction of Professors Robert Paul.
David Ng, and E. Dixon Junkin. with
special guidance by Nice Presidents
Joseph Culver and Jerry Tompkins.
The knowledge gained in thi?- D.Min.
program will benefit Columbia as Dr.
Dcdds uses his skills and competen-
cies in the area of Seminary Rela-
tions.

Thomas G. Long, Assistant Pro-
fessor of Preaching and Worship,
received his Ph.D. from Princeton
Theological Seminary on June 3,
1980. Tom's topic of work was "Nar-
rative Structure as Applied to Biblical
Preaching.** Since beginning his work
in 1973, he has worked under the
supervision of Dr. Donald MacLeod
and was assisted by Bruce Metzger,
Seward Hiltner. and James Loder.
Already a proven leader in his field.
Dr. Long will enhance the solid tra-
dition of Columbia in Preaching and
Worship.

FACULTY IN PRINT

One of the expectations of the
Church is that of leadership and chal-
lenge from its seminaries. Both of
these qualities are found in the recent
publications by two of Columbia's
professors.

International Norms and National
Policy is written by Dr. Frederick O.
Bonkovsky, Professor of Christian
Ethics. His contention is that in a
world where the threat of nuclear
warfare is everpresent, it is of utmost
importance that we establish mutual-
ly acceptable standards by which
nations can deal with each other.
Realizing that each nation holds dif-
fering social, ethical, and political
value systems, Bonkovsky points out
that these norms are to be found
through an effort of each nation seek-
ing to understand the goals and
values of other nations. He feels that
these international norms can help
prevent nuclear holocaust or ecologi-
cal catastrophe.

Catherine G. Gonzalez. Professor
of Church History, has co-authored
another book with her husband,
Justo, entitled, Liberation Preaching:
The Pulpit and the Oppressed. It is
essential that a thorough explanation
of liberation preaching be undertaken
for the reformed faith as our begin-
nings came out of a strong evangelical
movement. We are all becoming
increasingly aware "of oppression as
the fundamental condition to which
all preaching must be addressed."
The authors suggest how subtle
bondages can be removed when we
make a personal investment in inter-
preting God's Word accurately, and
then share the good news of the
gospel and its teachings.

We extend our appreciation to
Professors Bonkovsky and Gonzalez
for the insights and challenges that
their books will offer the church and
the world.

PERSONAL LIBRARY
GIVEN

The family of the late Reverend
Claudius Hornby Pritchard recently
gave his personal library to Columbia
Seminary. Pritchard was born in
Blacksburg, Virginia, on November
21, 1896. He was a 1924 graduate
of Union Theological Seminary of
Richmond, Virginia, and was ordain-
ed by Kanawa Presbytery on May 27,
1924. He was married to the former
Katherine Ellison of Roanoke, Vir-
ginia, and they have two children.

Pictured above is the new eleven rank SchantZ Pipe Organ as it appears in tlie Seminary
Chapel. This completes the major renovation phoi for making the Chapel a more appro-
priate place for worship and learning. It was due to the large vifts of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Sidney Query and the estate of Susan V. Russell as well as special giving from other
friends and Alumni ae like Rev. and Mrs. William R. Conine that the purchase of this
fine instrument was possible.

DR. MORRIS BEGINS SIXTH YEAR

July 7, 1980, began the sixth Sum-
mer Session of Beginners Greek
taught by Dr. Kenneth Morris at Col-
umbia Seminary. Although this
course has been in existance for many
more years than six, Dr. Morris has
brought to "Baby Greek" his own
definite style of encouragement, di-
rectness, and understanding. Through
all the tenses and conjugations, Ken
continues to find time for the family
and remains a cantaloupe connois-
seur. We welcome back a fine mem-
ber of the faculty of Erskine Theolog-
ical Seminary to Columbia's campus.

Dr. Morris and his wife Betty Jean are
honored by Summer Greek Students,
/n nn attempt to "tame" his already
aggressive ping-pong reputation, he is
presented with the dreaded "Ping-Pong
Players Handicap."
