From the President By Rev. Dr. Dean O. Wenthe I would invite each of you who receives For the Life of the World to plan a visit to our campus. Such a visit would be educational, enriching and stimulating. The entire seminary community would welcome you to worship with us, to attend class with the seminarians and deaconesses, to enjoy a meal in our beautiful dining hall and to visit the men and women who have devoted their lives to Christ's service. |
