A release from Bethany Theological Seminary
Alumni and friends are cordially invited to watch Bethany’s Academic Commencement Ceremony live online as we honor graduates from the classes of 2020 and 2021. This year’s ceremony will include the first students to earn certificates while studying in Nigeria.
Fifteen graduates and their families will join us in Nicarry Chapel, while others will be honored from a distance. The featured speaker is Amy Gall Ritchie, M.Div. ’93, a former director of student development at Bethany who is founding director of Persimmon Studio and a member of the pastoral staff at Manchester Church of the Brethren. The service will include theopoetic reflections by students and music provided by Carolyn Ripp.
Join us for a Zoom webinar format livestream on Saturday, May 8, at 11 a.m. (Eastern time). Here’s the link: https://bethanyseminary.zoom.us/j/97849369581.
