Luke B. Smith was the Professor of Supervised Ministry at Southeastern Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-4:20). There is a moment of prayer (4:21-6:11). Luke B. Smith is introduced as the Lecturer (6:12-9:02). Smith expresses his thanks for being able to speak, for those who are attending, and for the kind introduction (9:03-10:25). Smith shares his topic of the inclusion of memory (10:26-13:37). He shares how many people view the existence and process of memory (13:38-15:17). Smith shares reasons why one should contemplate the topic of memory (15:18-22:40). Smith discusses the three ways in which one can view memory as an inclusive force in one's life, the first being the way it provides one with continuity and identity through the integration of time (22:41-37:25). Smith describes the second as the way memory pulls thoughts together so that one can reflect on his activities (37:26-45:00). He describes the third as the way a community develops a collective or common memory (45:01-54:39). The service closes with a benediction (54:40-56:02).
