Thinking About the Church

Dear Friends,

mages, metaphors, pictures, and stories are powerful

because they plant meanings and truths

accessibly in our brains. Jesus’ parables are memorable for just these reasons. One only has to say “mustard seed” or “prodigal son” or “light under a basket” and our minds immediately go to the truths evoked by the stories around these images. Among the building blocks of communal culture are images and stories that we share to explain who we are. Families, for example, have stories—sometimes humorous, sometimes almost incidental, sometimes traumatic—which are repeated around holiday tables or in transitional moments. These stories remind us of who we are, how we are expected to behave and what binds us together. Churches also have their symbols and stories. Some, like the cross or a loaf of bread, have long histories and have found a home throughout the entire Christian culture. These have both wide community meanings and more individual associations, but they nevertheless shape who we are and how we look at the world. Other stories are far more focused toward a single community. These may include a particular building or architectural feature, or a repeated story about a key event in the life of the congregation. Good preachers and teachers use strong images, metaphors, and stories to strengthen their communication and to help listeners remember what has been said. Indeed, sometimes the story can eclipse the point, because stories can tug at mind and heart together in a way that

VANTAGE Fall / Winter 2011–2012

propositional truth alone cannot. Recently I overheard one man speaking to another as he was exiting one of my classes, “I’m not sure what point he was making, but that was a great story.” Oops. Maybe that story needs a new home. The point of all of this is that if we are going to be culture changers, we need to find the right images and metaphors to anchor various elements of the new culture in the minds and hearts of our churches. And then these elements of story need to be frequently repeated so that people

To change our culture, we have to change the way that we think about “the church.” And one way we facilitate that change is to provide new images, metaphors, and stories to create new associations in the hearts and minds of our community.

begin to associate whole clusters of new meanings with the image. Around our church we are trying to become a more “missional” church. But the word “missional” doesn’t conjure up clear meanings in the minds of most of our people. Even explaining the term often doesn’t help, because our explanations are imprecise and they vary every time we try to clarify the meaning. But recently we have been using an image which is new to us to explain the “missional church.” “How do you see the church?” we ask. “Is the church like a cruise ship whose mission and crew are focused on attracting people to its own programs and giving people a good time so that their consumer impulses are satisfied, their felt needs are cared for,

and they believe that their money has been well spent? Or is the church like a Coast Guard rescue cruiser whose mission and crew are focused on equipping and empowering our people for their ministries every day in the world?” On a Coast Guard cruiser there is a spirit of anticipation, readiness, and a communal life which is intensely supportive, but outwardly focused. The mission of a cruiser is not to entertain but to equip—not to attract, but to deploy. Rescue cruisers evaluate success not by the number of people who come onboard, but rather the number of missions engaged. On a rescue cruiser people listen intently for the orders of the captain, rather than sitting in the sun waiting for the next activity on the schedule. We are discovering that to change our culture, we have to change the way that we think about “the church.” And one way that we facilitate that change is to provide new images, metaphors and stories to create new associations in the hearts and minds of our community.

What are your metaphors or stories for what it means to be the “missional church”?

Old Testament scholar Kathleen M. O’Connor has two new books Kathleen M. O’Connor, who retired earlier this year as the William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, has two new books. She is the author of Jeremiah: Pain and Promise (Augsburg Fortress) and the co-editor of Breaking Bread, Building Justice: The Mission of the Church in the World of Hungers (VDM, Germany). Six years in the making, Jeremiah: Pain and Promise, is the culmination of Dr. O’Connor’s trauma and disaster research, work supported by a Henry Luce III Fellowship. In this new book, she acknowledges that Jeremiah’s emotional language can aggravate readers’ memories of pain. She also shows that Jeremiah is at once history and biography, documenting the ways an ancient community—and the prophet personally—sought to restore their collapsed political, social, and theological world. Both prophet and book provide a traumatized community a language to articulate disaster;

New book by Pamela Cooper-White explores multiplicity, God, and persons Braided Selves: Collected Essays on Multiplicity, God, and Persons by Pamela Cooper-White, has been released by Cascade Books. Dr. Cooper-White is the Ben G. and Nancye Clapp Gautier Professor of Pastoral Theology, Care, and Counseling at Columbia and director of the Atlanta Theological Association’s Doctor of Theology program in pastoral counseling. In this volume, which includes ten years of essays, Dr. Cooper-White suggests that we are more multiple as persons than traditional psychology has taught us to believe, and that our multiplicity is part of how we are made in the image of a loving, relational, multiple God. She argues that modern, Western notions of Oneness may actually cause harm to both individuals and society, and that an appreciation of multiplicity can help liberate the voices of those who live at the margins, both of society and within our own complex selves. Braided Selves addresses these concerns from the perspectives of postmodern pastoral psychology and Trinitarian theology, with implications for the practice of spiritual care, counseling, and psychotherapy. “Braided Selves is what authentic theology could be in the twenty-first century: theoretically rich without fleeing into metaphysical and rhetorical abstractions; rooted in human experience without degenerating into sentimentality and

move self-understanding from delusional security to identity as survivors; constitute individuals as responsible moral agents; portray God as equally afflicted by disaster; and invite a reconstruction of reality and of God’s relationship with them. Breaking Bread, Building Justice: The Mission of the Church in the World of Hungers, is a collection of essays, which Dr. O’Connor edited with Mark Gray, an alumnus of Columbia Theological Seminary. In this book eight scholars and pastors from around the world explore from their own contexts the theme of “the mission of the church in a world of hungers.” Collaborating through the seminary’s Campbell Scholars program, the group chose as the center of their study Isaiah 58, where breaking bread and building justice are central to God’s presence. These essays contribute to understanding pressing matters of hunger, expanding pastoral awareness of the context in which churches minister, and broaden biblical and ethical resources for reflecting on the nature of missiology in our time. n Kathleen O’Connor is the author of Lamentations and the Tears of the World (2002) and commentaries on Lamentations and Jeremiah. She is the co-editor of Troubling Jeremiah (1999).

cliché,” says James W. Jones, professor of psychology and religion at Rutgers University. “Anyone who cares about religious reflection in this troubled time should read this book. It will be a loss if Dr. Cooper-White’s text is restricted only to those who have ‘pastoral’ in their job description.” Dr. Cooper-White joined Columbia’s faculty in 2008. In 2005 she received the American Association of Pastoral Counselors’ national award for Distinguished Achievement in Research and Writing. Dr. Cooper-White holds PhDs from Harvard University and from the Institute for Clinical Social Work in Chicago. She is the author of Many Voices: Pastoral Psychotherapy and Theology in Relational Perspective (2007), Shared Wisdom: Use of the Self in Pastoral Care and Counseling (2004), and The Cry of Tamar: Violence against Women and the Church’s Response (1995). n

Shirley Guthrie and Christian Hope

Working Both Sides of the Street by George W. Stroup

Since my ordination in 1984, the church has had to face a different world. The Cold War is over. America is no longer the single dominant force. We’ve found we have as much to learn from churches “over there” as they do from us. The church is no longer reassured and growing. It is splintered and confused. Facing both culture and uncertainty, it’s time for faith, courage, and discipleship to share the astonishing Good News. — Tyler Downing, MDiv ’84, Associate Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Dalton, GA

hen it came to Christian hope Shirley Guthrie worked both sides of the street. He believed that in difficult times Christian hope rejects both a cynical resignation that seeks refuge in “that’s just the way things are” and any attempt to escape to some utopian community free from life’s trials and tribulations. Christian hope, as he understood it, affirms that Christian hope is hope in God’s Kingdom and that Kingdom is here now, fermenting in the midst of ordinary people and institutions with all their limitations and failures. And that same hope recognizes that no community is the realization of that Kingdom because all things have yet to be transformed, mended, and healed by God and are at best partial and provisional signs of the Kingdom. When asked about the deplorable condition of the church—its loss of members, its apparent inability to attract the young, its incessant fights and bitter divisions over social and political issues (and in some cases its avoidance of social and political issues altogether)—Shirley would often talk about congregations he had visited recently where good things were happening, where the Gospel was being preached, faith was being taught, and the needy and wounded were being cared for, churches in which there was every reason to believe that God’s Spirit was at work and Christ was present. To those tempted to give up on denominations, throw in the towel, and flee to parachurches or “post-denominational” communities—to what they hope are the “real” church— Shirley would talk about a God who is faithful, who makes promises and keeps them, who does not give up on God’s church, even when its members do so. On the other hand, to those on the other side of the street, those content with the current state of the church, who love the familiar and what has always been (or at least what seems to have always been), to those ministers biding their time until retirement, or those in the pews who hope the church is the one safe haven in the storm of a rapidly changing society, Shirley would talk about a God who, according to the Bible, is continually doing new and strange things, who refuses to accept the world as it is, and promises to make both the world and the church into something startlingly new. Shirley believed deeply that the unfettered reign of God is real and present in the familiar and the ordinary but that it is also a promise that has yet to be fully realized, a promise that impinges on the present with such urgency that neither complacency and resignation nor utopian idealism should ever be an option.

“

Shirley would often talk about congregations he had visited recently where good things were happening, where the Gospel was being preached, faith was being taught, and the needy and wounded were being cared for, churches in which there was every reason to believe that God’s Spirit was at work and Christ was present . . . . Shirley would talk about a God who is faithful, who makes promises and keeps them, who does not give up on God’s church, even when its members do so.

For understandable reasons many people assume that Shirley Guthrie’s interpretation of Christian hope as hope for that which is “already, but not yet,” like so many other themes in his theology, came from his teacher, Karl Barth. But Shirley had many other teachers, other mentors, besides Barth. His first publication was his English translation of Oscar Cullmann’s The Christology of the New Testament. For the roots of Shirley’s interpretation of hope as “already, not yet” see Cullmann’s claim in Christ and Time that “The decisive battle of the war may already have occurred in a relatively early stage of the war, and yet the war still continues” (p. 84). Equally significant is Shirley’s doctoral dissertation at Basel, directed by Karl Barth, on the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. More than anything else Niebuhr’s “Christian realism” enabled Guthrie to work both sides of the street, to describe faith as something that rejects apathy and resignation on the one hand and utopian idealism on the other.

Words from Guthrie’s Christian Doctrine that are familiar to many graduates of Columbia Seminary: All of us could be tempted simply to give up in despair when we take a hard look at the world around us and the mess we make of our own lives . . . But if we believe that since Easter the powers of evil are fighting a losing battle and that the one who has already conquered them is still at work to finish what he began, then we can take heart nevertheless to keep fighting, however powerful the enemy without and within may seem (Revised Edition, pp. 285-6). n A member of Columbia’s faculty since 1986, Dr. Stroup is the J. B. Green Professor of Theology. His most recent book is Why Jesus Matters (2011). His colleague and friend Shirley Guthrie was a member of Columbia’s faculty for nearly 40 years. Dr. Guthrie retired in 1997 and continues to be a part of the seminary community, even since his death in 2004.

Columbia prepares leaders for the church in a world that is rapidly changing and environmentally degrading. New leaders must serve as agents of resilient hope in the face of mounting despair and frustration, of hope in the God who is at work in the world, who in Christ makes all things new. Our future leaders, in short, must be practitioners of wonder. — William P. Brown, Professor of Old Testament

Ralph Watkins blogs on Evangelism and Church Growth at ralph-watkins.ctsnet.edu.

I Am Not Worried About the Church by Ralph C. Watkins “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Matthew 16.15-18

uch of my work with local congregations is helping them develop strategies to reach those who seem hard to reach—especially young adults. Passionate about the gospel and about being faithful witnesses for Christ, these congregations often ask me, “Are you worried about the future of the church?” Always I respond, “No!” The future of the church is not worrisome for me, because I know that it isn’t dependent on me or any other human entity. The future of the church is built on who Jesus is. We just have to be bold enough to follow Jesus and allow the power of the Holy Spirit to make us the church God would have us be. New expressions of what it looks like to “be church” in this age will come, like always, from humble submission to God’s will. Church might not look like what I grew up in, but it will be blessed by the presence of God. We know that young adults are searching and wanting a relationship with God. Studies have shown that 90 percent of them say, “I can have a good relationship with God without being involved in a church.”1 But what we’re finding is that young adults are looking for churches that make the Word of God and the ways of God understandable and applicable as a guiding force in their daily lives.

Young adults are looking for community—in-depth, applicable engagement with God’s Word, inter-generational connections and inclusion in churches that empower them to do something bigger than themselves. Young adults are searching for churches that involve them in ministry that has the promise of changing the world. Young adults are looking for the type of church I found when I came to Christ as a 20-something. It was a small missional church that provided for me and my young family all the things young adults are craving from the church today. As a paradigm for how to be the church of Jesus Christ, this little church took seriously—from Matthew through Acts—the witness of Jesus’ ministry. The pastor and congregation were passionate about Jesus, but not so much about the ways of their denomination. When I tell people I am not worried about the church, what I am saying is I am not worried about Jesus disappearing or going away. As long as Jesus lives the church lives. The more our churches reflect Jesus the more they will grow. Growth in this context isn’t limited to numerical growth. It is more about growing to be mature disciples of Jesus Christ who are active agents of the love of God in the world. The question is, “When I come to church, on Sunday through Saturday, do I see Jesus?” n 1

Who Says? A Reflection from Syria by Riad Kassis Dear Friends,

Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit (John 12.20). The Scripture’s overarching witness to love and justice, and the relationality of the Sacraments, paradoxically may call us to die to much of what we now think of as indispensable—both in our theologizing and our practices. How else can we live as Christ’s body, in an increasingly interfaith, intercultural, and interconnected world? — Pamela Cooper-White, Ben G. and Nancye Clapp Gautier Professor of Pastoral Theology, Care, and Counseling

e normally travel from Lebanon to Syria using private means of transportation, but on this visit my daughter and I have decided to use public transportation for safety. (An Arabic proverb states: “Place your head with other heads when you could face beheading!”) It is a real treat to travel more than 120 miles for only US $3.50 per passenger! It is also a good opportunity for my wife to enjoy some time to herself. We are traveling the Damascus-Homs road. Homs, after Hama, has become a very tense city due to armed and militant protesters. Fortunately our driver has decided to avoid passing through Homs. As I write these words, Homs is almost 42 miles north. Along the highway on my left we passed a big statue of the late Syrian president standing on a hill waving his hand. A couple of miles back we passed on the right an ancient church situated in a predominantly Muslim Sunni city. Our driver’s name is Abu Ibrahim (“father of Abraham”). He is a Syrian Greek Orthodox Christian who is proud to claim that his Christian lineage dates back more than 2,000 years. A miniature of Virgin Mary is at the center of his steering wheel. Before we took off in Damascus, I offered Abu Ibrahim a cold Coca-Cola. He thanked me warmly as he drank the whole can in two sips on this August afternoon in the summer heat of Damascus. Next to me is a bearded man. When he got onto the bus, he opened his Quran and began reciting and

reading Quranic verses. Now and then, he takes a break to chat with Abu Ibrahim for a couple of minutes. His truck broke down midway between Damascus and Homs, so he went to Damascus to get a spare part. As soon as he reached his truck, he gave Abu Ibrahim the fare and bid him a warm farewell. Trivina, my daughter, is sitting in a single seat at the front of the bus with earphones plugged into her iPod. She is also reciting and murmuring words, but in English and not religious. When I asked her to lower her voice, she responded, “Who says?” (She was listening to Selena Gomez singing the song “Who Says?”) I say to myself . . . • Who says that in one day in Syria you cannot share a Coca-Cola, be inspired by a song on your iPod, interact with an Orthodox Christian or a Reformed evangelical theologian, and engage with a devout Sunni Muslim? • Who says that the violence of protesters and the counter violence of regimes are the solution for the Syrian crisis? • Who says that western sanctions against Syria are the solution for a better Syria? • Who says that people of various beliefs are unable to ride on the same bus or live in the same country? and here is who says . . . • I say that Western and Arab countries should encourage genuine dialogue between the opposition and the regime. Sanctions are affecting ordinary citizens in serious ways, while the leaders of the regime have all the means to escape any suffering. • The Bible says: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12.21). Reformed theology provided solid parameters for continual unfolding of the mystery of the sovereign God and reforming of life by faith. Reformed polity provided a good framework within which to manage authority of Jesus Christ. Hebrew, Greek, and English language translations of the Bible provided faithful witness to the Living Word and effective means of communicating that Word through preaching and teaching. Witness of professor’s faith and Spirit provided helpful guidance and wisdom. Seminary prepared me for ministry. Further emphasis on Spirit formation, both personal and corporate, would address the divisive spirit that threatens the church. — Joseph Holt, BD ’63, Retired, First Presbyterian Church, Hibbing, MN

• Experience says that violence leads to more violence, destruction, and loss of precious lives. Martin Luther King, Jr., so eloquently said, “Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars . . . Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” • History of the Middle East says that Muslims, Jews, and Christians are able to co-exist peacefully. In fact, an honest reading of the history of the Middle East clearly supports this notion. The pressures exercised by extremists of all sides should not intimidate such co-existence. • History of the Middle East also says that extremist regimes could cause enormous oppression and persecution to minorities particularly Christian minorities. This is why Patriarch Bishara ar-Rai of the Maronite Church, after talks with President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris, said that Lebanese Christians feared that Syria might descend into civil war, or that “we end up with a regime which is more extreme and more fanatical.” The Patriarch urged the West to be cautious in backing regime change without thinking about what might happen to minority communities in the aftermath. “The West wanted democracy in Iraq, and this democracy has claimed many lives. The lives of Christians in Iraq and in Egypt are now more difficult than they were in the past” (www.churchtimes.co.uk). When we reached our destination, in a predominantly Christian area, I was deeply impressed seeing people, particularly the youth, resistant to being subdued by fear and intimidation. They were going to summer folklore parties, sipping coffee in cafés along roads, attending church on Sunday, and some of them even watching globalized music videos on giant screens. Yesterday I had a chance to address briefly a group of Syrian Christian university students. I admonished them that they are called today to be first-class citizens, to prove their love to their country in word and deed, and to witness to the powerful message of Jesus Christ: peace, salvation, and reconciliation.

Would you please join me now in an earnest prayer for Syria and Syrian Christians? n Riad Kassis was a visiting scholar at Columbia from August, 2010, through July, 2011.

Tribute

Dr. Kline, Dean Kline, President Kline 1925 – 2011 by William P. Brown President Emeritus C. Benton Kline, Jr., had a long, distinguished career—more than half a century —in academia. After nearly 20 years on the faculty of Agnes Scott College, he joined Columbia’s faculty, where he served as professor of theology (1969-1988), as dean of the faculty (1969-1971), and as president (1971-1975). Long after his retirement from Columbia, he continued service to both institutions as visiting professor. He even served a year as director of the seminary’s library. A Presbyterian minister, Dr. Kline was active in the work of the denomination nationally and locally. For the church, he was a dedicated teacher, preacher, and writer, and, with equal commitment, he worked tirelessly for the good of community close to home and beyond, especially to support the cause of education. Dr. Kline died on June 20, 2011, at the age of 86. Two weeks earlier, he and his wife, Chris, had celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. Along with Chris, Dr. Kline’s survivors include a son, John B. Kline, and his wife, Mary; a daughter, Mary Martha Riviere, the seminary’s circulation librarian, and her husband, Kenneth; four granddaughters, one grandson, and four great-grandchildren. The memorial service was held at North Decatur Presbyterian Church. Dr. William P. Brown, professor of Old Testament, gave the eulogy. Excerpts are published here with permission. To read Dr. Brown’s complete sermon, go to Vantage Online: vantage.ctsnet.edu.

Ephesians 1:3-14

oday we attend to the resurrection in this service for Dr. Kline, Dean Kline, President Kline. We give witness to the many gifts of God evidenced in the life of Ben Kline. And we are widely representative . . . of Agnes Scott College, where Dr. Kline began his full-time academic career, having served as Professor of Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty, and given emeritus status in the year 2000 . . . of Columbia Theological Seminary, where Ben was also Dean as well as President, designated President Emeritus in 1985 . . . of the Presbyterian Church, in which he was ordained as minister of word and sacrament in the Presbytery of Monmouth in 1948 and later ably served the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta for years until his retirement. Some of us come testifying to Ben’s generous involvement in the Decatur community, for he served on its Board of Education, including as chair, for several years. But most importantly we come as ourselves, touched in various ways by Ben’s life. We come as former students, colleagues in ministry, teaching colleagues, neighbors, and friends. And we come as family. Dr. Kline touched all of us with his intellect and with his humor, and above all with his generosity of grace. ... A former seminarian claims she learned everything from subatomic physics to theology to Presbyterian polity in his classroom, so wide ranging was Professor Kline’s intellect and teaching interests. His gift was to raise students up without ever dumbing down his lessons. And he was always willing to go boldly where no student could ever imagine going.

Indeed, one former student remarks: “They say space is the last frontier, but being A nature walk with Dr. Kline was like taking a nature walk through the passages through the passages of the soul, beyond of the soul space, time, beyond the universal or the particular. It was all one big discovery of the unending grace of God.” The apostle Paul talks about God’s “glorious grace,” grace freely bestowed in Christ. Such a wonder that is! As many former seminarians can attest, the Introduction to Theology course co-taught by Professors Kline and Guthrie was the stuff of legend. As close colleagues, Ben and Shirley came to know each other so well that they could finish each other’s lectures (and occasionally call each other a heretic) with mutual respect and love. One of Professor Kline’s most popular courses was his Theology through Greek Philosophy. I must admit that Greek philosophy isn’t taught much now at Columbia, no doubt a significant curricular A sense of wonder deficiency, but I can only suspect that what excited Dr. Kline about pervaded Greek philosophy was its emphasis on the notion of wonder. It was Professor Kline’s Socrates who claimed that “philosophy begins in wonder,” and Aristotle agreed. teaching, For Ben, it was that same probing, thinking wonder that underlies what the preaching, writing, biblical sages called “the fear of the Lord” as “the beginning of wisdom.” administrating, It was indeed a sense of wonder that pervaded Professor Kline’s teaching, indeed his entire, preaching, writing, administrating, indeed his entire, manifold vocation. When I manifold vocation. had the opportunity to share in his wonder and wisdom, it was when he taught his last Sunday School class at North Decatur Presbyterian Church some five years ago. It was on Ephesians, and I must say that I will never read this epistle in the same way after learning from Dr. Kline. For one thing, I can’t read the first chapter without thinking of him and his reflections about life in Christ. The opening passage begins with the blessing of God and God’s people and then celebrates God’s elective, gracious love for each of us. Paul considers the church to be a family, all of us adopted as children through Jesus Christ. And God takes us on a journey of “wisdom and insight,” making known to us something of the “mystery of God’s will.” In Christ we find redemption and forgiveness, and in the “fullness of time,” God will “gather up all things.” You see, there is a beautiful arc that Paul traces in the life of faith that begins with God’s election before time, moves to our salvation in time, and concludes with the final consummation at the end of time, when “all things are gathered up.” ...

In addition to his infatuation with God’s unending, “glorious grace,” another significant theme that appears in Ben’s writings is unity, God’s unity, the church’s unity, creation’s unity. According to one former student, Ben was fascinated with “how things come together, especially beyond the realm of knowing.” We may all be incorrigible empiricists, Ben would chide us, but in God’s grace we come to realize that God is constantly and subtly acting behind the scenes in big and small ways, above ground and below ground, from the tiniest of particles in the subatomic realm to the relationships that grace our lives day by day to the very workings of the cosmos. And it is all coming to a grand and glorious climax, a consummation, both the apostle Paul and professor Kline attest. Our adoption into the family of God holds the promise of God’s glorious future, when all creation is reconciled and all things are gathered together, bound together in the bond of peace. Ben liked to describe the church catholic as a “centering diversity,” a diverse community centered in Christ, the agent of reconciliation. Yet the church is always on dventures beyond A the realm of knowing

the way of centering, never completely centered in and of itself. Plurality is a gift for the church, Ben exclaimed, so also its unity. And the glorious vision of the church as a fully centered reality is found at the end of time, and it is described in one of Bens’ favorite passages in the Bible, from the book of Revelation: After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (7:9-10) That’s what the church is for; it is a sign of the new creation that has been underway ever since the Resurrection and Pentecost, a movement that will embrace and transform all the world in the end. The church, in Ben’s words, drawing from Paul, “pioneers in its own life the intention of God ‘to gather up all things in Christ.’” Or perhaps to put it another way, God is up to some

mischief in the world, the mischief of grace, and it is the church’s mission to bear witness to it, to God’s reconciliation of the world, of all peoples, of all creation, the world’s consummation. Take it from a consummate teacher. In the spring of 1967, as Dean of the Faculty at Agnes Scott College, Dr. C. Benton Kline, Jr., addressed the graduating seniors of Columbia Theological Seminary at their Baccalaureate. And this is what he said: “We are given life and we lose it and are given it back, therefore we are under obligation. We are under obligation to Jesus Christ, the strangest of all masters, for he is a servant too, sharing in every measure of our lives with us.” Ben Kline lived out that obligation in wonder and joy, in deep conviction and commitment, and always with a twinkle in his eye. In baptism he lost his life and was given it back. And now in death, he is gathered up to Christ and shares in Christ’s resurrection. Hallelujah. Amen. n

The alumni/ae, faculty, staff, administration, and students of Columbia Theological Seminary are part of a living tradition that reaches back to the earliest days of God’s people reflecting on their world, their experience of God, and their sense of God’s calling. In this section of Vantage, Tauta Panta, we are reminded of our common connection to this venerable and ever-changing stream of witness. Tauta Panta refers to “all these things,” as in “Seek first God’s kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6.33).

On campus in October, the Alumni/ae Council: From left to right — (Back) Jaina Anderson ’05, Hugh Hamilton ’80, Anne Apple ’01, Todd Jenkins ’90, Bill Lancaster ’73, Kate Foster Connors ’01; (Middle) Greg Kershner ’99, Abby Cole Keller ’06, Jan Stewart-Tolbert ’98, Anna McArthur ’99, Jack Taylor ’62, Ann Marie Montgomery ’06; (Front) David Kwon ’01, Susannah Cook ’99, Cary Speaker ’76, Jarred Hammet ’85, Sandy Lacey ’07, Jerry Utt ’02

History Matters! Last spring, we published a photograph taken during the time the seminary’s campus was in Columbia, SC. The picture has been dated circa 1915, and one reader had identified Dr. Richard Gillespie (who would become Columbia’s president) as a student in the picture. Another reader has identified family members and provides a later date, with this explanation: “ . . . I truly hate to disagree with the conclusion you reached regarding the picture, but I can tell you that the picture was made between 1919 and 1922. Dr. Gillespie may be in the picture, but he was not a student. He may have been there to lead a spiritual

emphasis week or something like that. The reason I know when the picture was made is because my father, Rev. Ludwig A. Beckman, Jr., CTS class of 1922, (and an uncle, Rev. James Venner Cobb, class of 1923) are both in the picture . . . Dr. [Richard] Gillespie was instrumental in my father making the decision to follow God’s call and enter CTS. After graduating from Presbyterian College, my father was attending the Business University of Lexington, KY, where Dr. Gillespie was pastor of the Maxwell Street Presbyterian Church. So I am grateful to Dr. Gillespie for being such a good influence. However, in the interest of historical accuracy, the picture was taken between 1919 and 1922.” — Peggy Beckman Miller

In spite of Sandra Taylor’s best efforts at fact-checking for Vantage—and her efforts are indeed the VERY best—the names of Charles Moffatt and Calvin Chesnutt, both class of 1951, were reversed in a photo caption in the summer issue of Vantage. Sandra had it right, but someone (read: the editor) missed her correction. Charles Moffatt is on the left; Calvin Chesnutt on the right.

In Matthew 16.13-20, Jesus asks, “Who do others say that I am?” I believe this is a good question for us to ask as a church. Who do others say that we are? I think a good one-word description might be the word family. What does it mean to be a church defined by the word family? I believe it means embracing hospitality, in welcoming people into our church home, while helping others in our community, the nation, and around the world. Defining church as family also means that we look to our past and honor our denominational heritage. Embracing our past can help us as we forge our future. So, while we may disagree at times, we know there is room at the table, always, for family. At that table, too, are our children and youth. We must care for them especially, for it is in them that the Church will continue. So who do others say that we are? In identifying ourselves as family, I believe we might just find the foundational stone upon which to grow Christ’s church deep and wide. — Ben Beasley MDiv ’10, pastor, Allenhurst Presbyterian Church, Allenhurst, GA

When I felt led by God, to go to seminary I prayed, “Lord, I can’t go in debt; I just cannot go in debt.” My first year in seminary I received the Dean’s Scholarship and my second year, I received the Merit Scholarship. Scholarships are made possible by men, women, churches, and foundations that give from their resources to the Annual Fund and believe in supporting the development of future church leaders.

Columbia Gift Societies The Annual Fund gives us an opportunity to express our belief in the future of the seminary. It’s our life blood, it’s putting fuel in the car on an ongoing basis. It takes a lot to be able to do the things that we’re called to do day to day. When you support the Annual Fund, you help pay for scholarships for our students so they won’t have additional debt hanging over them as they walk into pastorates. You help pay for various kinds of infrastructure that are simply part of the daily operations. You help to keep our library up to date as we move into a more technological age. And your support ensures that the programs we do on campus will affect people and communities worldwide. — Steve Hayner, President

The footprint of the seminary campus is stretching! The new residence hall, with its environmentally protective, comfortable, safe homes for students — the exciting new Vernon S. Broyles, Jr., Leadership Center rising next to Simons-Law — both for me reflect the commitment of the seminary to stretch and nurture students and faculty in new directions. Leading the church of Jesus Christ has never been more crucial or difficult in a shrinking world, desperate for God’s healing and life-giving Love.

Gifts to Columbia’s Annual Fund allow the seminary to attract and retain a very supportive faculty. As a student, I was educated scripturally and theologically, I was toughened up and prepared for prophetic times and the collaborative times of leadership, but most importantly I was given a real vision of what true Christian community can look like. I hope I have taken that into my congregation, my presbytery, my community.

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 Columbia 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!
