Presiding Bishop's Theological Education Sunday Message

Diocesan Press Service. December 10, 1962 [V-18]

Since 1941, the call has gone out to the Church each year to make an offering for the support of our Seminaries. The response has been generous and encouraging. It is evident now that many of us understand that if the Seminaries are to provide adequate and thorough preparation for men entering the ordained ministry, they must depend upon us all for support.

And they certainly do! We cannot let Theological Education Sunday become a routine affair: just another year, another offering. This is an opportunity for each of us to give generously so that our Seminaries will be able to do the work they must do if our Church is to respond to God's call now.

Let us do our part, so that the Seminaries can do theirs!
