- Richard Groves was the pastor of Wake Forest Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The service begins with music (0:00-1:49). There is a moment of prayer (1:50-4:03). The visitors at the chapel service are recognized (4:03-4:59). Richard Groves is introduced as the chapel speaker (5:00-6:32). The choir sings an anthem (6:33-9:37). Groves reads Scripture from Matthew 5 and shares an anecdote from his life to illustrate retaliation (9:38-12:32). Groves shares that the church needs to give a critique about giving an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and teach it (12:33-15:20). He discusses this idea regarding the tension between the Israelis and Arabs and how applying such a principal in practical ways “works” (15:21-26:35). Groves argues that only the way of Jesus holds open the possibility that one’s enemies will cease being one’s enemies (26:36-29:23). Groves ends the service in a word of prayer (29:24-30:31).

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).

- Description:
- The service begins with a call to worship through a responsive reading (0:00-0:99). The congregation is encouraged to examine their hearts, confess their sins and sorrows, and are led in prayer (1:00-5:25). Osborne reads from Genesis 1 and speaks about the powerful affirmation of being created in the image of God (5:26-6:32). She speaks about how our words and experience are tied together, giving examples of familiar images we associate with God (6:33-7:48). Osborne suggests the image of God as mother, which she believes to be colorful and new (7:49-8:40). She suggests that all the attributes of stereotypical males and females are attributes which we find in God, saying, “Just as the characteristics we typify as male or female are present in the humanness of all humans, so they are equally present in the godness of God” (8:41-9:43). Osborne argues that the female language of faith has been overlooked over the centuries in favor of the male language of faith, and that both aspects should be considered in relation to God and people (9:44-13:22). There is a litany of thanksgiving (13:23-15:04). Another speaker shares about how all people are made in the image of God and that creation would not be the same without people (15:05-16:40). One’s view on Jesus shifts based on the understanding that people are made in the image of God, that people are not called to be like Jesus, yet still image bearers of God (16:41-19:04). She shares moments when she saw the image of God played out (19:05-22:22). There is a litany of thanksgiving for people who have lived out God’s image in their day and who have worked to see free the image of God in others, such as the Hebrew midwives who subverted the power of Pharaoh, stuttering Moses, courageous Ruth, timid Mary, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, including those who have personally touched the lives of the congregation (22:23-27:00). There is a congregational prayer and responsive reading (27:01-28:10).

- Description:
- The service begins by introducing Barry Creamer, who was the Associational Brotherhood Director for the Saluda Baptist Association (0:00:00-0:01:34). Creamer reads Matthew 5:13-16, 23-24 and has a word of prayer (0:01:35-0:06:10). Hubert Line, who was the coordinator for the Volunteer Ministries program in the Brotherhood Department of the South Carolina Baptist Convention, is introduced to share his testimony (0:06:11-0:08:03). Line reads Matthew 16:24 and shares the testimony of how God worked to show him that Christianity is not just about talk, but about action (0:08:04-0:24:15). Michael Hawn sings a song of worship (0:24:16-0:29:30). Dr. Findley Edge, who was the Basil Manly Professor of Religious Education, is introduced as the next speaker (0:29:31-0:31:18). Edge begins by giving the theme of his presentation, which is the role of pastors (0:31:19-0:33:00). Edge explains the tendency to keep the form but lose the essence in pastoring, which he terms the problem of the institutionalization of the church (0:33:01-0:40:10). Edge speaks on what is the calling or role of a pastor, drawing from the New Testament teachings and descriptions of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, bishops, and elders (0:40:11-1:15:19). Edge says the overriding ministry task of the pastor is to teach and equip the people (1:15:20-1:25:00). Edge argues that the members of a church must also change their expectation of a pastor (1:25:01-1:30:30). Christine Gregory, who was a mother and high-school economics teacher, is introduced as the next speaker (1:30:31-1:32:25). Gregory speaks of unstructured stimuli, which are things that spark thoughts, explaining the scientific reason of how all people are similar regardless of background and upbringing (1:32:26-1:36:18). Gregory speaks about how Jesus brings together people of different backgrounds and educations for the purpose to serve Him through evangelism (1:36:19-1:49:36). The service is concluded in a word of prayer (1:49:37-1:50:32).

- Description:
- John William Eddins, Jr. was Professor of Theology at Southeastern Seminary. The service begins with a Scripture reading and a moment of prayer (0:00-1:01). Eddins begins his presentation by reading passages of Scripture from the New Testament (1:02-2:00). He shares an anecdote from his childhood to illustrate the Proverb about letting conscience being one’s guide (2:01-6:20). Eddins speaks about how Scripture views conscience, Christ, and Christian behavior (6:21-6:34). He defines conscience and speaks about how it is affected, drawing from Scripture in various New Testament books (6:35-9:15). He explains that wounding a fellow believer’s conscience is sinning against Christ and shows how a Christian’s behavior is a witness of the love of Christ (9:16-18:11). Eddins closes the service in a word of prayer (18:12-18:26).
