A Keenly Authentic Peace Theological Seminary Masters & Doctor of Spiritual Science Graduation 2014

Having participated in the Doctor of Spiritual Science classes for a few years, hearing the “Non Nobis Domine” theme always brings me into a greater alignment. It is sung by a chorus of lovely, strong male voices, and is a refrain I cannot help but sing along to. In Latin, the words mean “Not to us Lord, not to us, but to Your Name give the glory.”

I was deeply moved by this Graduation ceremony. It was charming that most of the members of the 2014 Master of Spiritual Science graduating class expressed their solidarity via color-coordinated clothing in various shades of turquoise. The Doctor of Spiritual Science candidates wore the traditional doctoral robes and tam, and received their doctoral hoods from our Traveler John Morton in a ceremony that never fails to inspire.

DSS GRADS SHARE

A signal that the Spirit was present was the heart-felt laughter that spontaneously erupted throughout the graduation ceremony (moderator Dr. Paul Kaye being his inimitable self). Announcement was made of the upcoming DSS Year 1, including Spanish translation, both first time offerings. Then, John Morton took us higher with a seminar filled with keys to loving as well as profound silences. On the whole, it was both a traditional and a keenly authentic ceremony.

Loving you all.
