For the Sake of the World: Spring Convocation 2007

This years spring convocation was given by Mark S. Hanson, presiding bishop of the ELCA. This was a wonderful event to attend for anyone who enjoys a good speaker. Rev. Hanson was an excellent speaker and had a few very good points to address.

His main theme was that the people of this world were so caught up with "things" that they had lost the calling that we, as members of the Christian faith were given; to go into all the world preaching the gospel. He said that we should model our lives more like the life of Jesus Christ; to constantly be curious of all things around us and to constantly search for ways to assist our fellow man (and women).

Rev. Hanson's message was both clear and insightful. I hope to someday incorporate his techniques into my own teaching style.
