Communion on 9/11

Gathering for Communion on September 11, 2008, Ph.D. student Jane Huber led the community in reflections on the writings of Wendell Berry. The congregation gathered around tables to consider, discuss, and pray in the light of these readings before coming to communion.

Rosemary Keller Memorial

On September 24, 2008, the Union Community gathered to remember Former Dean and Professor Emerita of Church History Rosemary Skinner Keller. Prof. Keller died on June 5, 2008 after a long battle with kidney cancer. Announcing her appointment as Dean in 1996, Holland Hendrix (then President of Union) called her "a visionary firmly grounded in the practical challenges of education and theology" whose particular experience would be "ideally suited" to the Seminary's opportunities and challenges at the time. When she came to Union, she had just completed 19 years on the faculty of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. For the last three of those years she served as that seminary's first woman Academic Dean and Vice President of Academic Affairs. For more on Rosemary Skinner Keller click here.

Here is a clip of excerpts from her service. Feel free to add other remembrances in the comments below....
