Description

• Dr. Edwin Luther Copeland was Visiting Professor of Missions at SEBTS. Dr. Copeland is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:09). Hymns are played (0:10-9:54). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (9:55-11:33). President Lewis Drummond greets the congregation, welcomes new students, and presents Carson Grissom to bestow the Middler Theological Award (11:34-17:17). Grissom confers the award (17:18-18:25). President Drummond congratulates the student and presents Dr. George Braswell (18:26-19:12). Dr. Braswell introduces Dr. Copeland (19:13-23:15). Dr. Braswell reads Colossians 1:15-23 for Dr. Copeland’s sermon (23:16-24:41). Dr. Copeland is honored to speak for Spring Convocation (24:42-26:26). His sermon focuses on the centrality of the unitive mission of Christ to theological education (26:27-27:58). He defines the Seminary as the intellectual center of the church and theological education as intellectual thinking and researching of the life and work of the church (27:59-30:02). Dr. Copeland discusses that “the unitive mission of Christ is matched by the unitive intellectual mission of theological education (30:03-31:23). He then speaks on three areas where the unitive mission of Christ intersects with the unitive mission of theological education: Western secular culture, religious pluralism (awareness of other religions), and the inner division of Christianity (31:24-47:23). Dr. Copeland speaks of the action needed in the intellectual centers of the church so that the unitive mission of Christ can be executed (47:24-47:58). He concludes with a final word on these three challenges and with encouragement to do our best to fulfill the unitive mission of Christ (47:59-49:21). President Drummond gives a word of prayer (49:22-50:13). A hymn ends the service (50:14-53:56).
