Message

From the President The Rev. Marvin A. McMickle, Ph.D.

“And yet we cannot be absolutely sure that any earthly instrument is necessary to God. Times change, and methods change with them. Our part is to do our work, to stand by the institutions Christ has put into our charge, to make them, by our liberality, our teaching, our influence, what they ought to be. The present is ours; the future belongs to God. We trust that the Seminary shall abide so long as the world stands. But, after all, the Seminary is but a means to an end. That end is the progress and triumph of the kingdom of God.” —Augustus H. Strong, President of Rochester Theological Seminary from Historical Discourses delivered as a part of the exercises in connection with the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Rochester Theological Seminary in 1900.

I recently came across these words from a distinguished past president while

preparing for the bicentennial of Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School (CRCDS). Reflecting on them now, I am struck by just how true these words ring today. Despite the passage of almost 116 years since Augustus Strong penned these words and almost 200 years since the founding of our beloved CRCDS, our core commitment remains the same. The CRCDS mission is not, as President Strong reminds us, an end in itself. Rather, CRCDS is a means to an end—the education of women and men who uniquely serve to bring the Kingdom of God into our midst! CRCDS and all those who love and support it are collectively working toward a world that is more just, more humane and more peacefilled. People continue to cry out for the healing that only God’s love can bring, and so they continue to cry out for 2

leaders who are equipped to bring God’s transformative healing to them and to all God’s people, particularly those who lack power, lack voice and lack advocacy. This is the mission of CRCDS—to educate and form those called by God to be agents of God’s love and witnesses to God’s call for justice and mercy. I am privileged by the opportunity to oversee the good and faithful work of CRCDS as it charts a course for bringing in the Kingdom in the 21st Century and I am so grateful for partners like you who support us on this journey. The following pages document the many people who have supported us during our 2014–15 fiscal year. Though we all have a tendency to seek out our own name, I ask you to take time to read all of these names and to give thanks, as all of us in the CRCDS community do, for each and every person listed here. In a very real and ever-present way, each of these people make CRCDS a reality, providing the essential resources we need to carry out and carry forth our mission of preparing leaders who are pastoral in their approach, prophetic in their vision, and always intellectually prepared—the hallmarks of the CRCDS education. Be assured of this, without the prayerful and generous support of you and of the many people whose names are contained within these pages, CRCDS would be no more than a wishful hope, a mere idea incapable of being put into action, instead of the progressive life-giving institution it is today. In a very real and direct way, your gifts and your prayers make the education of future leaders possible. When I look back on the quality of the thousands of graduates CRCDS and the Baptist Missionary Training School (BMTS) have sent forth over our almost 200 years, I am truly awed. Few institutions can claim a legacy on par with ours and few have had a greater, more broadranging, more profound impact than ours. For this, we

should all be enormously proud. Each of our graduates, past and present, could not have reached graduation without God’s blessing and without the help and support of hundreds of thousands of people who, like you, have supported CRCDS—from its earliest beginnings in the early 19th Century right up to our present age. Throughout the following pages, we introduce you to just a few of our current students (our future graduates) who are benefitting from your generosity and who will soon join the long and distinguished line of CRCDS graduates. Each one of them embodies the signature traits of the CRCDS education—Pastoral, Prophetic and Learned— and each one holds our collective hopes and prayers for the future as they answer God’s call to work for the coming of the Kingdom. We remain ever grateful for each of our students and all those whose unceasing prayers and steadfast support allow us to fulfill the CRCDS mission. I pray God’s continued blessing on you and on all the members of the CRCDS family. Let us give thanks to the Lord for the gift of each other, for the gift of our students and for the treasure that is Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School. Let us each do our part, as President Strong urged so many years ago, to stand by CRCDS, this blessed instrument of God. May our Lord continue to use CRCDS to prepare servants and may God continue to bless all those working to bring in the Kingdom. Your servant in Christ,,

The Rev. Marvin A. McMickle, Ph.D. President 3

S i m o n Ku i ( M a s t e r o f D i v i n i t y )

“Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” —St. Francis of Assisi

Simon Kui doesn’t think in terms of “possible” or “impossible.” Embracing each day with a

positive spirit, he accomplishes more in a day than many of us do in a week. Simon, a native of the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar (formerly Burma) balances a demanding schedule that includes a challenging, full-time job at the Hillside Family of Agencies, caring for his wife and three children (ages nine, five and three and a half), fulfilling requirements for the CRCDS Master of Divinity program, and preaching at Lake Avenue Baptist Church (Rochester, NY). Additionally, he is frequently asked to translate Burmese for patients at Strong Memorial and Rochester General Hospitals.

Simon’s biggest obstacle is time, but he regards this as a temporary problem which will eventually resolve itself. The people in Myanmar, he says, have much bigger struggles: since 1962, the country has suffered under a brutal military regime that is deemed one of the world’s most repressive and abusive. Human rights violations are the norm, as is religious persecution, especially among Christians and Muslims. One of the poorest nations in Southeast Asia, families typically earn between $80-$100 per month. Known as one of the most unconnected countries in the world, only 25% of the people in Myranmar have electricity; 1% have internet access. Considering the hardships Simon’s family left behind, challenges for his family in the United States are framed as manageable opportunities.

“I said ‘yes’ to God when He told me to come to this country. So many people who helped me get here said ‘yes.’ So I do the same.”

Simon is exceedingly proud of his role at Lake Avenue Baptist, where he preaches, leads Bible study, participates in fellowship and assists in the spiritual formation of Burmese refugees, 50% of whom comprise the faith community. Rev. Dr. Michael A. Ford (CRCDS ’12), Senior Pastor at Lake Avenue Baptist, CRCDS Trustee, M.Div. student and Simon’s mentor, says, “The Burmese people, with their commitment to faith, family and community, have truly taught us what it means to live in community with each other.” Although preaching an “English service” at Lake Avenue Baptist is difficult for Simon, he characteristically views it as a work in progress and has faith that he will improve. His father and grandfather, he says, had extremely strong personalities and taught him the importance of perseverance, a trait he admires—and needs—while helping Burmese friends navigate American life and while teaching his wife, who does not have a driver’s license, to operate a car.

In spite of his rigorous time constraints, Simon is someone who will almost always say “yes” when asked to help. He explains, “I said ‘yes’ to God when He told me to come to this country. So many people who helped me get here said ‘yes.’ So I do the same.” We are grateful for all of the people who say “yes” to CRCDS by supporting the good work of the School.

Dr. Jessica Shand ( G r a d uat e C e rt i f i c at e Studies Program)

“Compassion is a verb.” —Thich Nhat Hanh

The majority of students that cross the CRCDS threshold bring with them two qualities: the desire to be of service, and a unique skill set.

Dr. Jessica Shand, CRCDS student and pediatric oncologist at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (URMC) exhibits two added traits—a deep sense of compassion, and a remarkable sense of modesty. Jessica says, “When I tell people I am a pediatric oncologist, their first question is almost always, ‘I don’t know how you do it.’ For me, the decision was a simple one in that I believe God led me to this work in order to apply whatever gifts He bestowed on me to address this particular kind of struggle and suffering for children and their families.”

Jessica credits her “two incredible parents” for her personal philosophy. She and her husband Daniel, an emergency physician at URMC, say they feel blessed to have the opportunity to raise their two young sons, ages four and six, to be sensitive, community-minded young men who will follow in their footsteps of selfless service.

“...finding solidarity and faith through suffering may be one way that we, as a global community of God’s children, may begin to heal and move forward as a humanitarian society.”

Jessica believes her work with critically ill patients, one young woman in particular, led her to study at CRCDS. The patient, who retained and preached her faith right up until her death from metastatic soft tissue cancer, helped Jessica reconcile her faith in God’s goodness with the suffering around her. Realizing her work as a physician is also a ministry in its own way, Jessica views her studies at CRCDS as a means to create an integrated approach between clinical work and Biblical scholarship.

By attending CRCDS and interacting with faculty and a diverse student body, Jessica hopes to develop her own voice as a writer, speaker and educator to bring a perspective on the suffering of sick children that is applicable to both students of medicine and theology. One of her core beliefs is that finding solidarity and faith through suffering may be one way that we, as a global community of God’s children, may begin to heal and move forward as a humanitarian society.

An Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at URMC, Jessica believes that CRCDS is the perfect environment for her to find her own voice within the academic medical establishment, bringing together seemingly disparate elements of clinical medicine, scientific research and theology. She points out that true progressive thinking—and solutions—come when we explore unlikely connections. As such, she has a deep admiration for spiritual leaders Fr. Thomas Merton, Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh and St. Francis of Assisi, whose teachings she says, “emphasize overcoming perceived differences on the path to peace and humanity, often in contrast to consensus thinking.” Personally and professionally, Jessica views her patients and their families as unbelievably heroic, each in their own way. She is grateful to the nurses who care for her patients through the day and night and says they are, without question, the unsung heroes of the medical field. We are proud to have such accomplished and dedicated students at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School and are grateful to those who provide support and encouragement for all of our students.

Rev. Dr. Sean E. Tucker is an exceedingly intelligent, worldly and accomplished man.

His resume is, in a word, impressive. However, in spite of Rev. Tucker’s achievements and accolades, his professional biography simply leads with, “the most important thing about Rev. Dr. Sean E. Tucker is that he loves the Lord and God’s people!

Rev. Tucker, the recipient of the prestigious Harry S. Truman Scholarship, says he was blessed to be an Assistant to a British Member Parliament in London’s House of Commons, and has lived and studied in Austria, Greece, Yugoslavia, Holland, Hungary, Germany, Italy and the Republic of South Africa. Rev. Tucker began his pastoral ministry at the historic Antioch Baptist Church of Cleveland, Ohio where he served as Assistant Pastor under the leadership of CRCDS President Dr. Marvin A. McMickle. He served as a missionary to the Republic of South Africa, where he assisted townspeople in building a large, new church and job training center.

Rev. Tucker, currently the Senior Pastor of the historic Second Baptist Church in Mumford, New York (celebrating its 125th anniversary this coming November) joins a long line of gifted pastors educated at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School: Howard University President and Former Acting Dean of the Program for Black Church Studies at CRCDS, Rev. Mordecai Wyatt Johnson (RTS ‘ ) and Rev. Dr. Charles A. Thurman (CRCDS ’72). Currently a Doctor of Ministry student in Transformational Leadership and Prophetic Preaching at CRCDS, Rev. Tucker plans to graduate in 2017. He earned his Doctor of Divinity from Master’s International School of Divinity in Evansville, Indiana and a Master’s degree in Theology from Ashland Theological Seminary in Ohio. Additionally, he holds a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the George Washington University’s School of Business and Public Management in Washington, D.C.

“The most important thing about Rev. Dr. Sean E. Tucker is that he loves the Lord and God’s people!”

In the secular realm, Rev. Tucker is the Internal Controls Manager in the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) John Glenn Research Center in Ohio.

Rev. Tucker strongly believes in mentoring, and is an avid mentor to youth in his community. He serves as a member of the Advisory Board for the Akron Youth Summit, an organization that meets the needs of at-risk youth. Rev. Tucker considers himself a boxing historian also enjoys reading, writing, water sports, and hiking. Rev. Tucker is just one of the many gifted and talented Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School students whose education you make possible. Thank you for making a difference by supporting CRCDS.
