Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest Commencement Sermon St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, Austin TX Posted: 5/15/2007

You will give thanks in the coming years for what you have learned here. You will also quickly discover that you haven’t learned it all. There are lessons that can only be learned by doing, and most of them have to do with loving the folks God sets before you, and loving them and yourself with the expectation that each one is meant to grow up into the full stature of Christ.
