FACULTY OF DIVINITY CONVOCATION Tuesday, May 18, 2021 ORDER OF PROCEEDINGS

We acknowledge that the land on which Trinity College and the University of Toronto operate is part of the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Mississaugas of the Credit, an Anishnaabe people, land covered by the Dish-with-One- Spoon wampum belt covenant. We acknowledge the stewardship of this land by First Nations, the continuing presence here of Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, and the harm caused by colonialism. We commit ourselves to seeking a new and honourable relationship with the First Peoples of this land.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this Divinity Convocation was held virtually.

The Chaplain, Rev’d Andrea Budgey, will read the Prayers of Convocation.

Actiones nostras quaesumus, Domine, et aspirando praeveni et adiuvando prosequere, ut cuncta nostra operatio a te semper incipiat, per te coepta fniatur; per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen. (Gregorian Sacramentary 6c)

Prevent us, O LORD, in all our doings with thy most gracious favour, and further us with thy continual help; that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy Name, and fnally by thy mercy obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer)

Dirigere et sanctifcare et regere dignare, Domine Deus, quaesumus, corda et corpora nostra in lege tua et in operibus mandatorum tuorum; ut hic et in aeternum, te auxiliante, sani et salvi esse mereamur; per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen. (Ofce of Prime, Sarum Breviar)

O Almighty LORD, and everlasting God, vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to direct, sanctify, and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of thy laws, and in the works of thy commandments; that through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer) Pater noster, qui es in coelis, Sanctifcetur nomen tuum, Adveniat regnum tuum, Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in coelo, et in terra, Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris, Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo, Tuum enim est regnum, et potentia, et gloria, in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen. (International Commission on English Texts)
