The last ceremony of this nature in November. The next graduation ceremony, where not only certificates and Bachelor of Theology Degrees will be confered, but also the first Master of Theology Degrees (M.Th. in Biblical Studies and Hermeneutics), in conjunction with the University of the Free State (South Africa), is planned for April-May 2013. So in more than one sense the ceremony of the 26th of November was a very special occasion. The distinguished guest speaker was Dr Jerry Pillay of the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa, one of the participating churches for theological training at Justo Mwale. Dr Pillay is the first chairperson of the new World Communion of Reformed Churches, with his office in Johannesburg, South Africa. His humble response on his position is that he was merely present when it was the turn for Africa to present a chair person. From his main speech at the ceremony his vision for the church is crystal clear: the church is the servant of mankind, the earth and God. Nothing more, nothing less. It is the life mission of pastors to work the contents of this service out with their thoughts, attitude and deeds. Really a very powerful message to all gruduates, and indeed everybody present. The graduation ceremony for certificate holders and the 13 BTh graduates had to start in the rain, but ended with beautiful sunshine. To the credit of management it should be mentioned that everything went according to time. Even despite the crisis of tents falling when a rain storm hit early morning.  In many aspects a ceremony that will not be easily forgotten. A bit sad that 2012 will miss out on such an occasion, and November will never see it again. See GRADUATION 2011 at MEDIA > PHOTO GALLERY, for pixs of the day.
