Abstract
The Theme for this year’s observance of the Phillips Schol of Theology Founders Day is the title of this sermon. It’s an adaptation of the theme of the 1982 General Conference to this anniversary celebration and the formal installation of our dean, Dr. William C. Larkin. The use of such a theme gives us a splendid opportunity to re-examine the purposes of this seminary and dedicate ourselves anew to their fulfilment in a greater and more useful academy for the preparation of ministers for the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.
