Presidential Charge to the Class of 2020 The Words of Affirmation and Commitment The Call to Ministry
President: Brothers and sisters of the 2020 graduating class of Asbury Theological Seminary, our call to discipleship is a call to transformational love.
Dami Adeliyi: Hear, O Israel! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. President: We are called by Christ to embody all of the realities of the inbreaking kingdom as we preach the gospel, serve the poor, and live in holiness.
Kaylyn Moran: The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; He has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; and to comfort all who mourn. President: Though in Christ we are one body, we have many members, with gifts differing according to the grace given to us by the Holy Spirit.
Jessica Avery: The gifts the Lord gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the Body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. President: Graduates, do you affirm in the presence of this company that you have heard God’s call to a vocation of ministry; that you have tested that call in reflection and ministry; and that you now stand ready to take further steps of faithful service and mission?
Thomas Lyons and Dylan Zeigler: This we affirm. President: As our mission proclaims: “Asbury Theological Seminary is a community called to prepare theologically educated, sanctified, Spirit-filled men and women to evangelize and to spread scriptural holiness throughout the world through the love of Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and to the glory of God the Father.” Are you prepared to go forth as ambassadors of this message?
Allison and Christian Clour: Trusting in the work of Christ, we are. President: Graduates, will you give yourself to a life of: earnest piety and community formation; prayer, the study of the scriptures, and all the means of grace; solidarity with the poor and marginalized, seeking justice and offering mercy; lifelong learning; concern for the whole of God’s creation; and mission among those who have yet to call on the name of Jesus Christ?
Yakubu Jakada: We will, the Holy Spirit being our helper.
President: Members of the faculty, members of the President’s Cabinet, and Trustees, you have heard our graduates affirm their call to active discipleship and ministry. Will you join me in their commission? President, Faculty, President’s Cabinet and Trustees:
Read by Dr. James Miller, Mr. Jay Mansur, Mrs. Karen Thomas and Bishop Al Gwinn
We commission you as servants of our Lord Jesus Christ to serve Christ in all the world, to know Him and to make Him known, to embody in your lives the good news of the Kingdom of God, to be the church in the world and to build up the body of those who call Him Lord. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. President: Let us pray. Almighty God, Father of all mercies, graciously behold these your servants. Without Your help, they are helpless. Empower them therefore with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be strong for the tasks which lie ahead; and in all their works may they glorify Your Holy Name, and advance Your blessed Kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Benediction...... Rev. Donna Covington Vice President of Formation
