Installation!
Quick note: For those interested in watching a livestream of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary’s Convocation Chapel tomorrow, Tuesday, August 23, at 10:00 am US Eastern Time, make your way to this site.
Your faithful blogger is going to be invited up on stage to sign (with a quill pen, no less!) the Seminary’s 150-year-old doctrinal statement, The Abstract of Principles, as well as to be installed as the Carl E. Bates Professor of Christian Preaching.
Loud applause from y’all is expected!
And prayers, of course!
Added after the fact:
Here’s the link to the Convocation Chapel. If you want to cut to the chase, I sign The Abstract of Principles @ 42:19 onwards, and am installed as the endowed Carl E. Bates Professor of Christian Preaching @ 49:22 onwards. Happy viewing!
Abe Kuruvilla is the Carl E. Bates Professor of Christian Preaching at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Louisville, KY), and a dermatologist in private practice. His passion is to explore, explain, and exemplify preaching.
