Our speaker for the event will be Prof Norman Wirzba, Professor of Christian Theology, Senior Fellow at the Kenan Institute for Ethics and Director of the Office of Climate and Sustainability at Duke Divinity School and University. His address is entitled: Loving the World that God Loves.
Mr. Michael Francis will receive an honouary DD for his faithful and effective leadership in theological education, as Chair of the VST Board for over 9 years, and for his leadership in education and culture in the province of British Columbia.
An update on the activities of the school and prospects for the future will be offered by the President.
Twenty-Four graduates will receive degrees and diplomas. We will acknowledge The Rev. Andria Irwin, winner of the President’s 2024 Thoughtful, Engaged and Generous (TEG) Christian Leader Award. You are most welcome to attend this joyous occasion. Faculty and students share in the leadership of the service and there will be special music directed by VST’s Musician-in Resident, Lonnie Delisle. It is especially delightful when the students see staff who have supported them through their time as VST in attendance. Four students will receive the Sauder Certificate in Leadership Excellence.
