From the President Not long before I became president a man named Robert Donovan came to my office unannounced and told me that he and his wife were the artists who created the Stauffer Chapel stained-glass masterpiece. He and Bette had returned to campus in the twilight years of their lives together to sign their work and to be remembered. He told me of the process of fitting more than 125 different shapes and colors together, and of the theme they selected for our chapel, "The Tree of Life," with an open Bible featured in the center of the window around which the stained glass elements swirl and flow. They wanted only to sign their work and we, of course, granted their request. To this day, their handiwork calls me to worship whenever I sit in one of the pews either alone or with other worshippers. Allow me to invite you join us May 1–4, 2018, to take a journey into the Word of God through the event we now call Harbor. When you arrive, I urge you to take a deep breath and consider the marvelous mystery of color and light of the stained glass in our chapel by the sea. As a mosaic of Christians from around the world assemble, Pepperdine will sign its work with song, prayer, fellowship, and study. Ours is a labor of love for you and for the Lord’s church. As with the stained glass in our chapel, God’s Word and Jesus Christ will be central to all that transpires, and his peace, confidence, and warmth will be enabled by the Holy Spirit that comforts us and calms the waters of this tumultuous world— not unlike a welcome harbor in our seaward journey. Pepperdine University wants nothing more than to be your port and respite during this week together. On our final night, we will sing together “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.” May that benediction sign our work for this year and may God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit illuminate your path and service until we meet again. Indeed, may the Lord bless you and keep you in all ways and always. Andrew K. Benton President and CEO 1 MESSAGE FROM Mike Cope I know you were wondering, so here’s what Jimmy Buffett has to say about the Holy Spirit: Vampires, Mummies, and the Holy Ghost, These are the things that terrify me the most No aliens, psychopaths, or MTV hosts Scare me like vampires, mummies, and the Holy Ghost! I heard very little about the Holy Spirit or the Trinity growing up. Like Alexander Campbell himself, many of us were afraid that a focus on the Spirit would lead to emotional excesses. However, the New Testament is full of references to the ministry of the Spirit. (The Greek word “pneuma” appears over 350 times!) This Spirit is the Paraclete whom Jesus promised when he said it was better for us that he leave following his resurrection. The Spirit is the moving force behind the witnessing of the early church in Acts. And the Holy Spirit is the power behind the transformation that Paul expects of those who have been baptized into Jesus. God’s Spirit is, in the images of scripture itself, the wind that blows new life into God’s people, the river that flows from the relationship of the Trinity, and the fire that empowers and emboldens Christ- followers. We are both individually and collectively “the temple of the Holy Spirit.” It’s going to be quite an adventure—thinking and praying through the theme “The Spirit-Filled People of God.” Following a Prayer School led by Brian Zahnd, we will open the theme on May 1 with Rick Atchley speaking about his experience of walking with the Spirit and DOWNLOAD OUR close on May 4 with Dan Rodriguez challenging us to be open to the MOBILE APP fresh leading of God’s Spirit in mission. for access to information on This beautiful campus will be waiting for you. And the week will be class updates, book signings, a harbor for your spirit.
