- Description:
- The guest speaker for the SEBTS Convocation on Women in Ministry was Letty M. Russell who was Professor of the Practice of Theology at Yale Divinity School (00:00-03:41). The title of Russell’s convocation speech is “Woman in Ministry: Problem or Possibility,” and she states that her attention will be focused on what has been called the “Strasbourg Shift” (03:42-12:05). Russell believes that men in the church view the creation order as a pyramid of domination with men above women in the hierarchy, and this domination has been masked by the label of maintaining orthodoxy even though both sexes have been called into one ministry and one baptism (12:06-19:51). She examines the abuse of the hierarchical structure of Reformed ecclesiology, and she offers other paradigms that celebrates diversity, humility, and inclusiveness and creates order through a synergetic spectrum (19:52-28:48). Russell states that ministry should be defined through servanthood, specifically the humble posture of Christ as the servant and liberator (28:49-37:56). Russell concludes her convocation speech by speaking on the pinnacle complex, and she says, “we must let Pharaoh go and embrace the rainbow” (37:57-47:15).

- Description:
- Orlando E. Costas was the Thornley B. Wood Professor of Missiology at Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, now Palmer Theological Seminary. The service begins with a word of prayer (00:00-00:53). Orlando E. Costas is introduced as the Page Lecturer (00:54-02:19). Costas begins his lecture by speaking about the importance of Galilee as the land on the periphery of Jewish as a liberation metaphor for Christ’s mission to save the poor and outcast of society (02:20-10:57). His first point is that Jesus’ mission in Galilee shows the reader that gospel missions should have its base in the periphery of society because it can challenge the central powers (10:58-17:14). Costas second point is that missions is a personal and public message for all human beings, and he says that when the multitudes are evangelized, creation hears about it (17:15-28:49). Costas third point is that missions has a global scope, and the country song “In an Old Shanty Town” is played (28:50-42:25). A time of Q&A is opened for the audience, and the first question is about the interpretation of the Bible for the current context (42:26-46:59). The service ends with an announcement and a word of prayer (47:00-47:53).
