61st Academic Year Graduation -- IBTS, Prague

Crabtownboy · Jun 3, 2010

IBTS has students from many Central and Eastern European Countries as well as a few from Western Europe, the USA, the Mid-East and occasionally from Africa.

From the IBTS blog:

In his Graduation address, Dr David Goodbourn (President, the Partnership for Theological Education, Manchester, United Kingdom) said he had looked at countless such Graduation addresses and found they fell basically into three categories - the morally improving, the whimsical and the ironic. Drawing on insights from Ephesians chapter 4 Dr Goodbourn referred to all three styles. In an engaging way David offered illustrations of all three styles and how they might apply to the experience of having been a student at IBTS, but concluded - “if your achievement here has given you hope that you can achieve more with others in the future; if the friendships you have made here, across cultural barriers, across language barriers, across theological disagreements, have given you faith that all human barriers can be broken down with God; if today, you are yearning to help others experience the growth in faith and understanding you have experienced yourself - then you go as bearers of hope. And hope is the most precious gift.”
