Before sharing my customary update on news for this day, I do want to pause and remember all our Veterans on this Veterans Day. We have several in our community. And I do want to remember those who make the ultimate sacrifice and thank all those who served our country.
Today the work of the Board continues. Yesterday’s plenary gave our Trustees the opportunity to step back and consider the larger questions and issues facing theological education and our two seminaries.
This morning the focus shifts to the formal business of governance. At 9:30 a.m., the Board of Virginia Theological Seminary will convene for its business meeting, followed by the business meeting of The General Theological Seminary.
These meetings are where careful deliberation becomes decision, and where the vision discussed yesterday takes practical shape. Please hold our Trustees in your prayers as they undertake this important work on behalf of both institutions.
The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, Ph.D.
Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary and the President of The General Theological Seminary.
