2 www.standrews.ca Convocation celebrates students’ achievement St. Andrew’s College celebrated the success of students from all across Canada during the college’s awarding of degrees held as part of the Theological Union joint convocation ceremony on May 5. In total, the college awarded degrees and diplomas to 13 students as well as two honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees. Six of the recipients were able to attend and participate in the convocation chapel service and luncheon that preceded the evening ceremony. “We celebrate all of our graduates, those who can be with us this morning and those who are not here,” Principal Lorne Calvert told the assembly of graduates, family and members of the college community. The list of graduates included Eva Biederman, who received the only Master of Divinity awarded by the college during convocation. The degree of Master of Theological Studies was awarded to Cara Broughton and Catherine Ruiz-Gomar. Gradates of the Designated Lay Ministry program who received their diplomas were Paul Allard, Beryl Barraclough, Lloyd Bennett, Roy Bortolotto, Brynn Carson, Barbra Creel- man, Edward Turner and Karen Willis.

4 www.standrews.ca Moderator’s message highlights gala evenings St. Andrew’s College hosted two successful dinners this spring on April 18 at the Wascana Country Club in Regina and April 19 in Saskatoon at the German Cultural Centre. Both dinners featured the Right Reverend Jordan Cantwell, Moderator of The United Church of Canada, and alumna of the college as the speaker. She spoke on “Travelling Mercies: Stories From the Road to Right Rela- tions.” The entertainment in Regina was provided by Lori Erhardt, Corinne Groff and Chris Martin. The entertain- ment in Saskatoon was provided by Sons of Django, a gypsy jazz trio. The evenings were filled with laughter, entertainment and good food. Thank you to our event sponsor, Guardian Capital, and our gold sponsor, MNP. Right Reverend Jordan Cantwell

In 2016 the board of regents implemented a long-service recognition policy that would recognize the accomplishments of its employees in contributing to a supportive work environment by formally recognizing 10 years of service and each succeeding five years thereafter. Six staff members were recognized during the evening: Margret Hernik (Account- ing and Administration Clerk), Melanie Schwanbeck (College Secretary) and Christine Mitchell (Professor of Hebrew Scriptures) were recognized for 10 years of service. Don Schweitzer (McDougald Professor of Systematic Theology) and Sandra Beardsall (Professor of Church History and Ecumen- ics) were recognized for 15 years of service.

Legacy gifts to St. Andrew’s are an opportunity to extend and enhance both the present and future mission of the College in preparing Christian leaders for Church and community. Legacy gifts are a powerful statement of gratitude for gifts we have received over a lifetime. Legacy giving, sometimes called planned giving, provides gifts from end of life accumulated assets rather than from current income. Most often legacy gifts are provided through wills and bequests but may also involve charitable gift annuities, assignment of life insurance, or transfer of property such as cash, stock, bonds and real estate. We invite you to consider planning a legacy gift for St. Andrew’s College.

For information about planning a legacy Have you already included St. Andrew’s gift for St. Andrew’s College we invite you in your legacy giving? If so we thank you to contact our Legacy Gift Officer, Mr. Tom very much and ask if you would have your Cameron. name(s) added to our Legacy Gift Society?

6 www.standrews.ca College experience affirming for DLM grad By Brynn C. Carson

I began the Designated Lay Ministry program at Calling Lakes before the program was relocated to St. Andrew’s Col- lege in September 2014. Lorne Calvert made a trip to Calling Lakes in June 2014 to welcome us in advance and assure us of how excited the college was to be our new home for this program. Personally, I found the opportunity to gather at St. Andrew’s with my colleagues from across Canada for the 10-day learn- ing circles an amazing opportunity to share with each other what we had been doing back in our sites —­ living together in community, sharing challenges we might be facing and continually exploring our call to be ministers within The United Church of Canada. There was always someone to laugh with, pray with, cry with or simply just “be” with. The DLM program was the best program for me not only due to my particular learning style but for my personality. We are required to take three complementary university courses as part of the program. These are theological courses to be taken through a United Church seminary and in many of our cases we were able to do so online if we did not live in the immediate vicinity of St. Andrew’s. As there are no theological seminaries where I live in Northern Ontario, this online option was truly a blessing. Many of the students are entering the ministry at a later time in their lives and these complementary courses are a wonderful way to expand upon the theological Brynn C.

8 www.standrews.ca Church, students create warm bond La Ronge United Church has had the good fortune to host Korean visitors from St. Andrew’s College for almost a decade now. Our church delights in hosting these energetic, hardworking, compassionate students and giving them a taste of northern Saskatchewan that many people do not get to experience. We are intensely proud of our landscape and our people and relish the opportunity to share with others. La Ronge, by urban standards, is still quite remote. In this part of the province we tend to make a lot of our own fun. For the past five years our church has hosted a winter festival with games and activities that are part of the culture here. All of this is done on the frozen shoreline of Lac La Ronge. We have made treks out on snow- mobiles and dog sleds, cut down Christmas pine trees and learned the art of fine cooking Story of the stained glass on the end of a stick (wiener roasts).

The first is the inclusion of the seven colours of the rainbow, which was a harbinger of the original seven colours of the 1979 flag that the LGBTQI movement adopted. Later, one colour was dropped. The second progressive motif is the quote, “Lo I am with you always” which would re-appear decades later in the New Creed as “We are not alone.” The third progressive feature is the wounded Jesus which would much later appear in female forms, and in forms that would speak to vulnerable groups. There it is: a strong visual statement made in 1961 that we are to be bold disciples of the wounded Jesus Christ to proclaim the good news of salvation.

Participants from Nova Scotia to British Columbia joined a local crowd at plenary sessions and workshops devoted to helping United Church congregations sing. The evening featured a public hymn festival in the chapel where all of the hymns, taken from Voices United and More Voices, had a Saskatchewan connection.
