DEAR FRIENDS,

C O L U M B I A T H E O L O G I C A L S E M I N A RY has just concluded its 180th year, and we have much to celebrate. Enrollment growth in our master’s programs has steadily increased over the past decade. Students are choosing Columbia because they understand this seminary as the place to prepare for Christ’s ministry. Eighty-three percent of our alumni who graduated in the last 10 years tell us they came to Columbia with the intention of pursuing a religious vocation, and 82 percent in fact are now ministers of the Word and Sacrament. Columbia graduates are affirming that, after 180 years, we’re still on mission— investing in leaders for Christ’s church, preparing them for ministry and helping sustain them in their calls. Staying on mission requires us to listen for the church’s greatest needs and to make sure that we are in position to respond. We listen, now as always, knowing that the church is always in some stage of transformation. So how do we equip our students for this future church and yet maintain our service to the church we know, the church with needs now, the church of our history and traditions? The Chinese symbol for “crisis” comprises the characters for the words “danger” and “opportunity.” And in these difficult, confusing days for the Presbyterian Church (USA), we do see opportunity and danger. We are

attracting students and producing graduates committed to serving in parish ministry now, yet we are preparing them for an uncertain future. We are committed to keeping Columbia rooted in its traditions, even as we invest in exciting new faculty members, innovative programs, and impressive facilities that promise to transform our work in the years ahead. God is in control here, and Columbia is on the right mission for this time— and for the future—of Christ’s church. We thank you for your commitment to this seminary. Your encouragement of those with potential for leadership in the church and your financial support are what keeps Columbia strong and on mission. Gratefully,

FOUR STUDENTS RECEIVE PRESTIGIOUS FTE FELLOWSHIPS

The Fund for Theological Education (FTE) has selected four Columbia students to receive national, competitive fellowships. Sara Dorrien, Zeena Regis, and Kristin Reinhold, entering Master of Divinity students, were awarded 2008 FTE Congregational Fellowships. These awards are given to young leaders who demonstrate exceptional gifts for ministry. Stephanie Crumpton, a student in the Doctor of Theology program, was awarded a 2008 FTE North American Doctoral Fellowship. This award recognizes

rising young scholars from an underrepresented racial/ethnic group who aspire to teach religion and theology in theological schools and universities. Sara Dorrien is from New York, NY, and earned a B.A. in sociology and religion at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI. Her current church is First church, Kalamazoo. Zeena Regis is from Sacramento, CA, and has a B.A. in political science from Agnes Scott College, Decatur, GA. She attends Oakhurst church in Decatur. Kristin Reinhold, originally from Ontario, Canada, grew up in Clemson, SC. She completed a B.A. in philosophy and religion at Queens University of Charlotte, Charlotte, NC, and attends Fort Hill church, Clemson, SC. Stephanie Crumpton is from Chicago, IL. She completed a B.A. in broadcast 5

journalism from Langston University, Oklahoma City, OK, and an M.Div. from the Interdenominational Theological Center, Atlanta, GA. She is a member of Sankosa United Church of Christ, Atlanta, GA. The Fund for Theological Education is a leading ecumenical advocate for excellence and diversity in Christian ministry and theological scholarship. It supports the next generation of leaders among pastors and scholars, annually providing $1.5 million in fellowships and support to gifted young people from all denominations and racial/ethnic backgrounds. Since 1954, FTE has awarded nearly 6,000 fellowships in partnership with those committed to the future of quality leadership for the church.

of Greater Atlanta, she has served as moderator, as chair of the presbytery council, on the long-range planning committee, in the Ambassador Program and Presbytery Resource Partners, and is on the examinations committee. She was a commissioner to the General Assembly twice and has served three times on the board of the Outreach Foundation of the Presbyterian Church. She serves on the board of the Fund for Theological Education. She has also served two terms on the Board at Trinity School, chaired the board of the FCS Urban Ministries, served on the board of the East Lake Commons, as a trustee for Renewal Ministries, on the advisory committee for the Year for the Common Good, and as a mediator at the Justice Center of Atlanta. Presenting the Lay Leadership Award, President Laura Mendenhall cited Ellis’s years of service to the seminary, as well as to the church at the local, presbytery, and national level, and quipped, “All this is particularly impressive since Florida probably would have been perfectly content as an Episcopalian had she not married Doug Ellis, a lifelong Presbyterian. “One of the definitions of a leader is someone who takes you to places you cannot go without a leader . . . “You have helped to shape and form what God is doing here to prepare pastors and leaders for Christ’s ministry in the world today and tomorrow. . . we thank you, Florida. We thank God for you.”

Florida Ellis

lorida Ellis, who served as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1986-2005, received the John A. Conant Distinguished Lay Leadership Award during the spring meeting of the Board of Trustees. The award recognizes gifts of time, talents and lay leadership within the seminary community as well as in the wider church. For 17 of the 19 years she served on the Board, Ellis served as chair of the academic affairs committee. She was on the long-range planning committee that wrote Vision 2020, which continues to direct the seminary’s work. She served on countless search committees and on the steering committee for the self-studies required periodically by the seminary’s two accrediting agencies: the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Theological Schools. Ellis serves now as co-chair of the advisory council for the Center for Lifelong Learning, through which she completed the Certificate in Spiritual Formation. Ellis is a member of First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, where she served two terms on the session and then an additional seven years as clerk of the session.

Feasts and Famines: Christians Think About Food There may be no acts that are more common, more basic, or more freighted with social implications than the production and consumption of food. Yet in spite of this—or perhaps because of this—few of us think about making and eating food from a theological perspective. Join conversations with Shannon Jung, professor at St. Paul School of Theology and author of Food For Life: A Spirituality and Ethics of Eating, as well as Columbia’s own Charlie Raynal (director of advanced studies and associate professor of theology), Kim Long (assistant professor of worship), and Walter Brueggemann (professor of Old Testament, emeritus), as they help us all think about what, why, how, and with whom we eat.

 Life With

Laity by William H. Willimon

From the baccalaureate sermon preached on May 16, 2008, at Columbia Presbyterian Church. Dr. Willimon’s complete sermon will be published late next spring in the Pentecost 2009 issue of Journal for Preachers.

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his suffering by becoming like him in his death...I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own…I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord….Help these women, for they have struggled beside me in the work of the gospel….(Philippians 3:10, 12b; 4:2, 3b) All your study has come to this. Most of you, if not already, soon will be clergy, a condition I have had for 33 years . . . But I’ll tell you the truth: I would rather be made at gunpoint to drive to New York City backwards, listening to Britney Spears, than to go back and do church with any of those laity ever again. As bishop, one of my jobs is to cop the credentials of clergy calling it quits. And I can tell you novices, I’ve never had pastors throw in the towel because they were fed up with Jesus. It’s the laity who do them in! The greatest challenge of the Christian ministry in any form is Jesus’ command to work with the people whom Jesus has called to work with him. In support of my argument I call my clerical colleague St. Paul. Here is Paul waxing eloquently to First Church Philippi on the glories of Christ, His death and resurrection, calling in his most impressive theological artillery: Though he was in the form of God, Did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, But emptied himself…that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess (2:5ff.)

Here the grandeur of the Christian faith, the full sweep of our theology! Then, as if he has finally gotten to what is really bugging him, Paul blurts out, “Euodia! Syntyche! Behave! Stop fighting. Be reconciled!” Amid the grandest theological affirmations, Paul calls out (by name, no less) two squabbling laity. What’s this? It’s the church! I once asked one of my M.Div. students, “Why are you headed toward ministry?” He answered, “Because I enjoy working with people.” I replied, “Dear, have you actually met any of the people with whom you will be working? What sort of masochist finds enjoyment in that?” I have never had anyone withdraw from a church where I served saying, “Jesus’ demands upon us are just too much.” No, why they leave is, “We think the world of Jesus, but we just can’t stand his friends.” Take my first congregation. It was rural Georgia and as many of you have learned, rural doesn’t get much more rural than that. Squabbling, one failure after another typified my days there. Euodia and Syntyche dooking it out in the parking lot after a wedding. It was more than I could take. One day, in youthful despair I poured out my frustration to my favorite Emory professor. My professor sympathetically listened to my tale of woe. He agreed to the injustice of someone like me forced to serve people like them. The laity are lousy. “And worst of all…,” he said, “Jesus says that whores and tax collectors get to go into the Kingdom of God before us good people.” Jesus teaches, preaches, heals and finally suffers and dies. And on his way to paradise, deserted by his own disciples, hanging in agony on the cross, Jesus enters paradise with nothing to show for his trouble but one slightly informed, somewhat penitent thief. Some

church believes that the homeless ought always to be served by the church on china rather than plastic.) “I think it’s wonderful that you are here, washing dishes for the homeless,” I said. “Good for you,” he mumbled, not looking up from his work. “Have you always enjoyed ministry with the homeless?” I asked. “Who told you I enjoyed working with the homeless?” he asked. “Have you met any of the homeless out there? Most of them are crazy, so addicted or messed up that nobody, not even their family wants them home.” “Well, I, er, uh, think that makes it all the more remarkable what you are here doing,” I said. “How did you get here?” He looked up from the dishwater and replied, “I’m here because Jesus put me here. How did you get here?” Ah, the laity! Budding theologians, fledgling leaders of the Body of Christ, I have little with which to commend to you the church, the People of God. I have no rationale that justifies throwing away your time and talents on the likes of Euodia or Syntyche. Except this: these are the ones whom the very Son of God loved and for whom he died and to whom he rose. Amen. William H. Willimon was elected in July 2004 as Bishop of The United Methodist Church. He leads the 157,000 Methodists and 792 pastors in North Alabama. For 20 years he was dean of the chapel and professor of Christian ministry at Duke University.

trophy. And yet Karl Barth designates this gathering of Jesus and the two thieves as the birthday of the church. The Kingdom of God is a great banquet where though really nice people are the first invited, they find other things to do. In anger the master of the banquet goes out and invites everybody—the maimed, the lame, and the blind, the broken hearted, Republicans, Rotarians, rejects, racists, and reprobates. That’s God’s Table—a bunch of losers whom no nice person would be caught dead with on a Saturday night. So says Jesus. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection… says Paul. To whom did the resurrected Christ appear? Not to the cognoscenti cleros but to the squabbling laos— fearful, misunderstanding women, according to the gospels. You know not the “power of his resurrection” until you know that Christ returned to those who forsook and disappointed him, to Euodia and Syntyche, and thus to you and thus to me. It’s a heck of a way to run a Kingdom of God, but it appears to be His way. In response to the question, “Who is my neighbor?” John Calvin said of course we think well of our friends and family, no great surprise in that. The odd thing is that Christ commands us to love our enemies. How is that possible? Calvin answers, “All should be contemplated in God, not in themselves.” If we look directly at the human race, says Calvin, unaided by God, we will feel more hate than love. We must look upon people as God looks at people. The ability not only to endure but also to love Euodia and Syntheche arises from our theological commitments. Bless you for the guts to try to live with, to lead, and maybe by God’s grace even to love the laos in Jesus’ name. The only good reason to be here is Christological. And the only means of persevering to the end is that Jesus, in his wisdom, means this to be so. One of my churches serves breakfast to close to 200 homeless people every morning. I was there a while back and on my way in noticed a man in the kitchen, washing dishes, up to his elbows in dishwater. (The pastor of the

M a r ci Au ld Gl a ss This sermon has been modified slightly for publication in Vantage. The complete sermon is available online at www.ctsnet.edu > News & Publications > Vantage.

s I prepared this sermon] I’ve been reading some of the daily lectionary to my kids. And what a relief it was to get to Hezekiah, because after reading through this whole narrative of first and second Kings, where king after king is more evil in the sight of the Lord than the king before, where Kings refuse to follow the Lord, and they worship false gods, lead the people in wickedness—after a while, it’s a little depressing. But then King Hezekiah shows up and led the people into confession. Turns them back to God. Clears away the temples to the false gods. Re-establishes the practices of the people. He does what is right in the eyes of the Lord. It was such a relief to hear about a king that did the right thing, whatever his motives. My kids even noticed. “Mom. Did you just say that this king did what was RIGHT in the eyes of the Lord?” “Yes, I did.” “Does this mean that things are going to get better for the people then?” “Well….” “When they did what was wicked, they get punished. So if they do what’s right, things should be good, right?” Whose bright idea was it for me to read the Bible to my kids? With great fear and trepidation, I read on in the story. For a short time—like three verses in chapter 18—things went well. God was with them and they wupped up on the Philistines, and Hezekiah decided not to obey the King of Assyria. And then Sennacherib starts talking smack about the Lord at the gates of Jerusalem. He tells the people—in Hebrew, no less, to make sure they’d understand him—that they are just plain silly to rely on their God. Didn’t they see how all of the “gods” of the other towns failed to protect them as he burned their cities and carted them all off to exile. He tells them lies about their God, about their King, and about how well they will be treated if they walk away without a fight. And Hezekiah orders the people not to respond to Sennacherib’s taunts. The Assyrian rant is met with silence. They stand their ground in silence. How deafening must that silence have been? Picture this. You are one of the few Hebrew people who have not yet been carted off to exile. You are standing on the wall of Jerusalem, looking out over the Assyrian army. You have a stick and some rocks. They have cavalry, shields and swords. You are so non-threatening to this King that he is making jokes. He is enjoying this. You are a mouse to his cat.

DAVID A. HOLMES The George and Sally Telford Award is given to an outstanding Doctor of Ministry graduate who shows exceptional ability for congregational leadership with an emphasis on social justice issues and vision for the church.

The unsustainable consumer culture that dominates North American society empowers, and is empowered by, a particular spirituality. This spirituality makes it difficult to say “no” to opportunities and obligations, and difficult to say “yes” to community and loving relationships. This project explores the hypothesis that the practice of Sabbath might free a community from consumerism through the practice of an alternative spirituality. Robert McClure United Church undertook an experiment in congregational Sabbath practice in Lent of 2007, discovering that this practice was beginning to help them become more relaxed, more aware, and more connected to God and one another.

David Holmes is pastor of McDougall United Church (United Church of Canada), in Calgary, Alberta. He received the B.A. degree from the University of Alberta, and the M.Div. degree from Vancouver School of Theology. An abstract of his D.Min. project appears at right.

ISSUE

CONTEXT

Why join the church? That question is a crucial one for contemporary Christians. The United Methodist Church advertises to invite the unchurched, “dechurched”, and inactive to its life. Regardless of how well the invitation to participate is given, or how warm the welcome, the question of what it means to join remains. Even in congregations that are succeeding at attracting new members and are open to growth’s issues, I have not perceived a widespread understanding of what it means to “join the church” or even to join a given congregation, beyond the idea that the person joining will help maintain that particular institutional expression of the church by actions such as giving money or serving on committees. The question has new power as increasing numbers of people now identify themselves as “unchurched but spiritual” or “spiritual but not religious.” Jim Wallis of the Sojourners Community suggests that churched Christians should regard these brothers and sisters “as another denomination.” My pastoral experience, and the reported experience of other pastors, is that this lack of clarity about the meaning of church membership is endemic to our culture and to the culture of the church. Why should anyone join the church?

The John Nelsen Award is presented to the best Doctor of Ministry project which focuses on Old Testament texts, images, and themes as resources for transforming a local congregation into an example of a missional church. This award is given by Dan Winn, Jr., in honor of his friend and counselor, John M. Nelsen. Nelsen received his M.Div. and D.Min. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and he is now pastor of First church in Sapulpa, OK. For more than 25 years, Nelsen has devoted his ministry to challenging, sustaining, and transforming of his congregations. The missional church has been his primary focus for several years. H. Gray Southern, of Durham, NC, received the B.A. degree from the University of North Carolina, and the M.Div. from Yale Divinity School. He is a district superintendent in the North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church. An abstract of his D.Min. project appears at right.

Erskine: A Most Careful Listener by Walter Brueggemann

[

t is known to his intimates that Erskine Clarke has very poor hearing in one ear. It is known to all of us that, through his long, brilliant career at Columbia Theological Seminary, Erskine has been an uncommonly good listener: • He has listened well to the deepest impulses of his beloved southern Presbyterian Church; • He has listened well to the cries and hopes of the world that yearns beyond the way things are; • He has listened well to the promises and commands of God that have propelled him to a vocation of passion and erudition and service to the coming kingdom. Through its long history, Columbia has had more than its fair share of intellectual, ecclesial luminaries. In his generation, the seminary has not had any faculty person who has exhibited and enacted the gifts of mind and heart and spirit with the same sustained energy and institutional effectiveness as has Erskine. Every one of us at Columbia has an inventory of matters for which he is to be commended at retirement. I am glad to line out my list with appreciation and gratitude. ...he has worked Erskine’s scholarly life is one of steadfastness and of acute perceptiveness. with primary sources Since he published Wrestlin’ Jacob (1979), he has been preoccupied with to trace the way in “The American Dilemma” of racism, the ways in which that malady continues which racism has to vex and debilitate both church and society. Good historian that he is, he has been at the heart of worked with primary sources to trace the way in which racism has been at the our society and the heart of our society and the way in which it has permeated the life of the church in way in which it has every dimension. His remarkable focus on the family of Charles Colcock Jones has permeated the life of permitted him to articulate the anguish and intractability of the issue for women the church in every and men of good will. His recent works, Southern Zion and Dwelling Place, have dimension. placed him in the forefront of scholars on this issue, even now as he is at work on linkages back to the slave trade in Africa. Erskine’s careful and remarkable recovery of hidden data and his capacity to draw narrative coherence from that data is witness to the cruciality of careful, imaginative research for the health and faithfulness of our society, and not least for the Seminary.

...it was Erskine who dreamed the possibility of what became “alternative context” whereby middler M. Div. Students—along with faculty members—are dispatched for an extended January term into church settings around the world.

Because of his passion for the life of preachers, Erskine has evoked and nurtured a cadre of writers and contributors to the Journal who make it—issue after issue—a first-rate publication with uncommon pertinence.

[

Erskine’s commitment to the life of the church is evident in many ways, not least in his vision and persistence with the Journal for Preachers that he founded and continues to edit. It is no small matter to sustain such a publishing project with only a very thin infrastructure and with finances that are thin enough to match the infrastructure. Because of his passion for the life of preachers, Erskine has evoked and nurtured a cadre of writers and contributors to the Journal who make it—issue after issue—a first-rate publication with uncommon pertinence. Erskine’s capacity to continue to identify and explicate cutting-edge issues in the life of the church and in the life of the preacher attest to his practical sensibility. His passion for the life of the church is most recently evidenced in his singular devotion to the project of bringing to Columbia a significant portion of the archives and library that had been housed at the Presbyterian Historical Society's Montreat branch. Erskine’s efforts in this regard, alongside that of other members of the seminary community, assure that in time to come the church and its scholars will have access to first-rate memory. Beyond his scholarly life and beyond his passion for the church, it is his work as an institutional citizen of the seminary that I most wish to celebrate. Every seminary, like every congregation, finally depends on a few steadfast “carriers” of the institution who put extra energy, resources, and imagination into the life of the institution in ways that run beyond normal obligation or expectation. In recent decades in the life of Columbia, Erskine has been that institutional carrier who has been informed by the deep rootage of tradition, propelled by a large vision, and has been willing to put in effort and energy to move the seminary toward that vision. As Columbia began to reach beyond its more-or-less self-contained history, it was Erskine who dreamed the possibility of what became “alternative context” whereby middler M. Div. students—along with faculty members—are dispatched for an extended January term into church settings around the world. Venues for such education in the life of the church have included Mexico, Jamaica, Hungary, China, Appalachia, and a variety of other contexts. And recognizing our own urban context as a missional environment, the alternative context program regularly includes a venture into urban Atlanta. As the faculty worked a decade ago on a fresh and explicit “Statement of Purpose,” Erskine was among the faculty colleagues who formulated the lyrical statement that continues to be a primal guide for institutional planning. That wondrous statement that takes seriously the missional demands of the new century and dares to imagine Columbia’s role in the renewal of the church. When the seminary received the enormous Campbell endowment, Erskine was among the faculty colleagues who insisted that a portion of the endowment should be “tithed” in some way in a generous investment beyond ourselves. That conviction eventuated in “The Campbell Scholars,” a periodic and well-funded program that regularly brings church leaders from other contexts of the world

Academics are notorious for being disconnected from reality in church and in world. One has the sense that it all “connects” for Erskine.

church to the campus for an extended period of sustained study and reflection. Erskine has invested untold amounts of time and energy with the seminar that has been an uncommon benefit to the seminary. On the one hand, the seminar has brought a steady stream of representatives of other church contexts to our campus and to the collegial life of the faculty. On the other hand, these visitors to our campus have enormously enriched, broadened, and deepened the educational process for our students. With memory from the ancient days of the seminary in Columbia, South Carolina, Erskine has reflected long and well on “the middle way” that has characterized the seminary over its history. One can conclude, moreover, that the “middle way” is how Erskine has understood himself in our midst, midway between a settled, treasured tradition and a demanding missional summons. For some among us Erskine is too much a traditionalist because he attends to the mind and the heart of the seminary constituency. For others among us, Erskine has pressed the issues of responsible theological education and scholarly excellence too insistently in order to bring that memory to its full stature concerning the most stringent public questions that now face U.S. society. On all counts as scholar, churchman, educator, and institutional citizen Erskine is a prize among us. His departure from the seminary faculty means, moreover, that others will need to “step up” to carry on much of the work that he has shouldered. In the midst of his multi-faceted work among us—that he does with grace, dignity, generosity, and largeness of spirit—what comes through is Erskine’s own genuine piety and faith. Academics are notorious for being disconnected from reality in church and in world. One has the sense that it all “connects” for Erskine. Our common debt to him is enormous, and perhaps will become more visible through his absence. The good news is Erskine will continue his passionate research in ways that remind us all of who we are, from where we have come, and where we are going. We may anticipate that his continued interpretive gifts will trickle down from North Carolina into the life and faith and work of the seminary. We expect, moreover, that he will continue to do that with his self-deprecating good humor. With his one bad ear, Erskine has listened well and has acted on all he has heard. He is, back behind his South Carolina legacy, a child of Mount Sinai among those who pledge to “do and hear.” The rabbis have made much of the fact of the word order in Exodus 24:7, first “to do” and then “to hear.” Maybe that is the inevitable sequence for people with a bad ear, to do and then to hear. Erskine has done well and heard well. Would that we could all listen as well as he has listened! Walter Brueggemann is professor emeritus, retiring from Columbia’s faculty in 2003 as the William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament. Erskine Clarke, professor of American religious history, retired at the end of the 2007-2008 academic year. He and his wife, Nan, live now in Montreat, North Carolina.

Above, Freeman Owl and a sample of his stonecarving. Right, Jane Spencer and shape-note singers demonstrate their combined talents; and below, an aerial view of a mountain top removal site illustrates the devastation described by Denise Giardina.

mong this year’s distinguished lecturers were Cherokee elder and stonecarver Freeman Owl, novelist and Episcopal priest Denise Giardina, and shape-note singer and teacher, Jane Spencer. Speaking on Cherokee religion from his perspective as a member of that Indian nation, Owl’s message was one of forgiveness and reconciliation for oppressed and oppressor. “We are all one,” he said. Giardina spoke on the devastating effects of the coal industry’s practice of mountain top removal. She noted that while the process is illegal, government regulatory agencies at all levels have allowed coal companies to continue. According to Giardina, irreversible damage has been done to the environment and thousands of people have been displaced. Jane Spencer, along with several accomplished singers, gave a demonstration (shape-note singers do not “perform”) to a large group of enthusiastic participants. The Montreat lecture series is part of Columbia’s program in Presbyterian and Reformed History and Theology and is offered through the seminary’s Center for Lifelong Learning.

Margaret H. Spencer Planned Gift An important contribution to Columbia Seminary’s Capital Campaign By Neely Young

n 2000, when I first visited Margaret Spencer, she was living in a cottage at the Presbyterian Home in Clinton, SC. A lifelong Presbyterian and member of the First Presbyterian Church of Greenville, SC, she described herself as a “blue hose Presbyterian,” and she had already generously supported a number of Presbyterian institutions. She was always well informed about Columbia and always had questions for me about the latest developments. When I first met her, she told me she had already decided to put Columbia in her will because “Columbia Seminary has always been around, has been important to my family, and has supported Presbyterian churches in South Carolina.” Barely five feet tall, this diminutive woman knew that over time her estate would increase in value, thus greatly increasing the amount of the gift that would eventually come to Columbia. What she did not tell me was that many years previous, she had established a scholarship fund at the seminary in honor of her father, John H. Spencer, another lifelong Presbyterian and supporter of the seminary when it was in Columbia, SC, and after it was moved to Decatur, GA. Margaret Spencer died in March 2007 at the age of 91, and even though we knew that she had included Columbia in her estate planning, the size of her gift—$1.4 million—was quite a surprise. Approximately half of her gift went to endow the scholarship fund in her father’s name; the other half for general support of the seminary. She also left gifts for a variety of other Margaret Spencer Presbyterian institutions, including the Presbyterian Home of Clinton, SC. belonged to According to Ann Snyder, the home’s administrator, Ms. Spencer’s gift a generation for the home’s healthcare program was comparable to the one she gave serious about Columbia. their responsibility Margaret Spencer belonged to a generation serious about their responsibility to support their denomination. In fact, living today on the to support their same hall at the Presbyterian Home where she spent her last years are denomination. two of her contemporaries: Harold Prince, a Columbia alumnus, professor emeritus, and a longtime supporter of the seminary, and Joseph Gettys, who has endowed a scholarship at the seminary. Like Margaret Spencer, their support has been quiet, never seeking attention, and never faltering. Southern writer Ferrol Sams would say that these three devoted Christians were “raised right.” Neely Young retired from the seminary in late 2007. Formerly associate director of development, he continues to work on special projects for the Office of Institutional Advancement. He and his wife, Myra, live in Lexington, VA.

Each planned gift executed at this time is an important part of Formation/Transformation, Columbia’s $60 million capital campaign. A variety of planned giving options (gift annuity, trust, bequest, etc.) allows you to make the gift in a way that best fits into your estate plans. For more information about planned giving to Columbia Seminary, please contact Richard DuBose, duboser@ctsnet.edu, or 404.687.4568

The structure of Columbia’s new $9.6 million student residence hall is “topped out” and on schedule to be completely under roof by December 2008. Students will be able to move in by June 2009. The design of the building’s exterior complements the seminary’s traditional, brick gothic architecture. It will be one of the first in Decatur, GA, to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Looking for Leaders

Faculty Development at Columbia

olumbia is invigorated this year by the prospect of bringing by the summer of 2009 five new teaching colleagues. Perhaps our most well-known search is for the first occupant for the Wade Huie Chair in Preaching. This new position includes participation in the development of a center that will seek to strengthen the practice of preaching throughout the church. But as energy is focused on the Huie Chair, the search committee will first look to fill the shoes of Chuck Campbell whose teaching ministry is taking him to Duke Divinity School. The good news is that by year’s end, we should have two new teachers of preaching. But that is only the beginning. Erskine Clarke’s recent retirement means that we are actively looking for a new professor of American religious history. In addition, given the retirement plans of other colleagues, the Board has authorized two other searches. One of these will expand the director of supervised ministry position into a director of contextual education, while the other will seek a new director of advanced studies, with special emphasis on the D. Min. and D. Ed. Min. programs.

Columbia Founders

The Columbia Founders have demonstrated extraordinary levels of support for the seminary, some over the course of a lifetime. Words cannot adequately express the depth of appreciation felt by all friends of Coumbia for the sacrificial ways in which the Founders have contributed to the seminary’s programs, buildings, and grounds. Their generosity calls all of us to practice better stewardship of what we have been given. Thanks be to God!
