Convocation 2011
Living in Two Worlds 

The Redeemer community celebrated the accomplishments of 220 graduates on May 28 with the 26th Convocation for the Conferring of Degrees.

The Rev. Dr. W.J. Clyde Ervine addressed graduates on the topic of personal identity and where one finds one’s identity. As unique as we are, part of our identity springs from the community in which we live. The apostle Paul identified the Christians in Philippi as saints in Christ Jesus, called and set apart to serve God.

How do we live this reality today? We are part of a community of saints around the globe and across time. We can’t avoid the world in the fear that we’ll be “contaminated.” God came to this world as a flesh and blood Jesus who took the world seriously, and so must we.

That’s what students are taught at Redeemer – to be earthly saints. Dr. Ervine encouraged graduates to let their voice and viewpoint be heard and to identify themselves as people set apart to serve God here and now.
