Ordination and commissioning anniversaries of 10 faculty, six emeriti faculty and three staff were recognized during today鈥檚 service in the Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus at SA国际传媒, St. Louis. The honorees represent 695 years of collective service to the church.

鈥淏rothers, the great Day is coming that will fill your hearts with joy,鈥 said Seminary President Dr. Thomas J. Egger. 鈥淚n the light of that Day, you will look back over your life, so grateful that the Lord has given you to be ministers of the Gospel, ambassadors of Christ, shepherds of Christ鈥檚 dear flock. And as we mark this significant milestone since your ordination or commissioning, be sure of this: that Day is closer now than on the day when the church set you aside for service. As Paul says in Romans 13: 鈥楽alvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.鈥欌

A reception in Koburg Hall following the chapel service offered additional time for sharing gratitude and celebrating the honorees individually for their decades of faithful ministry.
