Abstract
It is my pleasure to welcome each of you to this academic year, 1985-86. This is an historic period which will engage all of us faculty, administration and students—for the challenge of implementing a new curriculum. This improved learning process envisions several features: First, it integrates all of the theological disciplines so that your education is holistic. Second, through the “Foundations for Ministry” experience, you will be equipped to explore the depths ofyour religious inquiry. Third, this curriculum is constructed to enable you and the faculty to evaluate your readiness for ministry. Fourth, your presence here as prospective leaders is conceived to help you “walk as children of light.”
