    Description:
    Morris Ashcraft was the Professor of Theology and Dean of the Faculty at SEBTS. The commencement begins with a word of prayer (00:00-01:27). President William Randall Lolley welcomes the graduates with the announcement of this event being the first in a newly air-conditioned Binkley Chapel (01:28-04:07). Lolley speaks about the word “free” as the most precious word after “love” and highlights the school’s embrace of “fundamentalism” (04:08-06:28). Dr. William Rogers, Dean of the School of Christian Education at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, is introduced (06:29-07:44). Dr. Rogers identifies a few fellow colleagues and prepares to read two statements (07:45-08:11). The first statement is one of encouragement to Southeastern after experiencing a difficult time (08:12-09:27). The second statement is directed towards Lolley, praising his leadership (09:28-11:28). Lolley accepts both statements on behalf of the school (11:29-11:57). Scripture reading begins with Psalm 131 and ends with 1 Thessalonians 5:16-21 and 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 (11:58-16:38). Lolley instructs graduates to come receive their diplomas when they are called and asks Dean Ashcraft to announce the graduates (16:39-17:55). The recipients of the Associate Degree in Divinity receive their diplomas (17:56-22:32). The recipients of the Master Degree in Christian Education receive their diplomas (22:33-25:22). The recipients of the Master Degree in Divinity receive their diplomas (25:23-43:54). The recipients of the Doctorate Degree in Ministry receive their diplomas (43:55-48:35). Lolley presents Dean Ashcraft to give his charge to the students (48:36-49:21). Reading from 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-21, Ashcraft gives the students the final charge (49:22-1:08:41). Lolley and the graduates participate in a litany of mission (1:08:42-1:11:22). The commencement ends with the Seminary song (cut) and a word of prayer (1:11:23-1:12:38).
