Dr. Brian D. MacArthur

This issue of The Growing Edgeprovides an excellent report ofConvocation 2005. April 30th was

a beautiful day on which to honour ourgraduates and celebrate theirachievements. Dr. Ralph Richardson, asChancellor of the University, awarded 143baccalaureate degrees in Arts, Science,Business, and Education. The ceremonywas impressive, and will leave a lastingimpression on the Class of 2005.

While there are many activities that occuron campus between now and the fall,including spring and summer courses,our attention is already turning toSeptember and the arrival of many newstudents. Although we cannot accuratelypredict future numbers, the indicators wemonitor point to another year of strongenrolment.

Planning for the future is becoming agreater priority for both the Board ofGovernors and the President’s Cabinet.Exciting possibilities are beingresearched. Even so, we continue tofocus on three short-term goals that willbe important achievements in helping topave the way for greater growth in thefuture.

The first is to eliminate the accumulatedoperating deficit, which as of June 30,2004 was $156,313.00, down from a peakof $717,752.00 on June 30, 2001.Achieving this goal by June 30, 2005 ispossible if the current donor target canbe reached by that date. This would bean exciting release from past obligations!

The second objective is to seekmembership in the Association ofUniversities and Colleges in Canada(AUCC). We have recently receivedword from the AUCC that thecriteria for institutions like ABU,which have a Statement ofFaith, is still being reviewed.Because of this there is amoratorium on applicationsthat will not be lifted until lateOctober. We are, therefore,continuing to prepare our

application with the expectation of beingable to submit it before the end of 2005.After applying, we project that it may bea year before the University would beformally accepted. As I have notedbefore, the primary benefits of AUCCmembership include the affirmation of thequality of ABU’s academic programs,more easily opening doors to studentsapplying for entrance into graduatestudy programs across Canada, as wellas permitting faculty at ABU to competefor certain research grants.

The third objective is to utilize our currentfacility and human resources. We willagain seek to be as creative as possiblein order to serve as many students as wecan without compromising quality. Thismay mean innovations in scheduling,programming, and space allocation. Wewant to serve every student who isseeking “quality university educationfirmly rooted in the Christian faith.”Fulfilling this mission transformsstudents who will make a difference intoday’s world as they graduate andassume leadership roles in their variouscareers.

The next year promises to be challenging,energizing, and exciting as we continueto seek ways in which we can mosteffectively deliver our mission and servethe University community.

THE VALEDICTORY ADDRESS

The following is an excerpt from the2005 valedictory address given byJeremy McWilliams, who graduatedwith a Bachelor of Arts in BiblicalStudies (with distinction). Jeremy’sfull valedictory address can beviewed at www.abu.nb.ca.

For many of us, myself included, thesepast years have been our firstintroduction to the importance ofperspective. Understandingperspective is key, in so many ways.When our eyes are fixed on the rightplace, then we realize that nothing whichis truly important, can ever really be lost.

Jesus, when asked what the mostimportant things in life are said, “Youshall love the Lord your God with all yourheart, and with all your soul and with allyour mind. This is the great and foremostcommandment. The second is like it; youshall love your neighbour as yourself.On these two commandments depend thewhole Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew22:37-40)

Serving God with your passions, withour being in day-to-day life, and witheverything that we know is the centralfocus in a life with perspective. LovingGod is the most important thing there is.It is the beginning of wisdom. Thisperspective, while it can never in this lifebe fully grasped, gives us anunderstanding that everything in ourlives falls under God’s jurisdiction. Thereis nothing in our being that is not subjectto him. Our relationship with him is thekey to proper perspective. When thatpriority is present, everything else fallsinto place.

When we live in that frame of mind,selfish things disappear. When we areserving God, there is nothing in thisworld that is more important than thepeople around us. We cannot take money,possessions, or any kind of wealth orworldly glory with us to heaven. We can

bring people. Therefore, let us invest inthe people around us. He calls us as anact of service to God to invest in the livesthat he places in our care--to feed hissheep, to tend his flock. Ourrelationships are our most valuablepossession. Through the power ofChrist’s sacrifice and resurrection theyhave lasting power, even beyond timeand death. Pursuing a relationship withGod means being passionate aboutpeople. If you chase after wealth,personal fame and the laud and praise ofhuman beings, on the day you die youwill stand before God as naked as theday you were born. But if we invest inthe life of another human being, we haveplaced an investment in something reallyworth having. It is something eternal,since nothing really worth having canever truly be lost.

Serving God and others before ourselvesis often thought, incorrectly, to mean thatwe have to devalue who we are. Truehumility, in reality, is not self-depreciation, but rather a submission toa greater priority list.

I would like to issue two challengestoday. These challenges will, hopefully,help to set our eyes on the eternity, whichis seeking to run through our lives,transforming us into the man or womanthat God intends for each of us to be. Iwill be speaking about building an eternalcharacter, which can have real anddramatic effects on our lives and the lives

of those who surround us, not just atthe completion of the ages, but today.

When we operate on God’s priority list,our character is more important thanour actions.As Rick Warren in “Purpose DrivenLife” put it; “You are a human being,not a human doing.” If we are trulyseeking to serve God, then we muststrive to do what we do with good,Godly character, and that is sufficient.

This doesn’t mean that we stop trying towork for the kingdom; it does mean thatwe need to stop thinking about ourdecisions as though God is no longer incontrol! The only footsteps that we needto worry about following are those ofJesus Christ. Let us model our lives onHis devotion to God, His passionateservice to others. His life and examplewill provide the character that we need,His Word and His Spirit will be our Guide,and his grace, bought with bloodsmeared across the doorposts of ourlives will cover our mistakes. Before youwere born, God saw the entire picture ofyour life. He decided that you were worthhaving, and he will not see you lost.Strive for good Godly character; seek tobe the man or woman that He would haveyou be. He will show the rest of the pathwhen the time is right. Our responsibilityis to wait for Him.

Always remember to say “thank you.”In a world that idolizes the self-madeperson, we must never forget that Godhas allowed us to be the people that weare. He has enabled us to reach the pointin our lives where we are standing rightnow. The self-made person is artificial,there can be no such thing, nor wouldGod desire there to be. We were createdto live in dependence on God, and incommunity. “Loving your neighbour”works both ways. We must learn gratitudefor those who invest in us, even as weseek to invest in others. This is the keyto living in community- graciouslyaccepting what others have to offer.

“Our relationships are ourmost valuable possession.”

ABU’S TOP ATHLETES HONOURED

By

Jeff on the court

“It was not until grade seven that Itried out for my first team. I actuallytried out for the soccer team that

year not even knowing the positions. Ionly signed up for midfield because oneof my good friends Alison did. For someweird reason I made the team. I guess mycoach saw potential because I wasAWFUL,” says Candace Webster, ABU’sfemale athlete of the year for 2005.

Candace, who played both basketball andsoccer for ABU, took home the basketballMVP trophy this season, as well asfinished in the top seven for leaguescoring in the ACAA this year inbasketball.

“She wants to make everybody aroundher better,” says David Cook, AthleticsDirector. “She elevates the game to anew level with her determination. Hercharacter also stands out as she showsintegrity both in and out of competition.”

So how does Candace move from “awful”to full of character? Candace believesthat it goes back to a grade seven soccerexperience.

“My first year in soccer, I made the teambut I was a bench warmer. I rememberthat my team made the finals and won ina shoot out. When we all lined up and

they put the medal aroundmy neck I felt soundeserving. But, my coachsaid something that has stillstuck with me to this day.Some people support theteam through their effort onthe field and others throughtheir effort on the benchcheering. I wholeheartedlybelieve this. Having theprivilege to experience bothsides of the coin, I nowrealize how vital everyperson is on a team.”

Jeffery Vass may haveoverheard Webster’s coach.Like Webster, Vass alsofinished in the top seven inleague scoring this year. Arookie from HarrisonTrimble High School inMoncton, New Brunswick,he was an obvious standouton the team, according toCook. This is why he waschosen as male athlete ofthe year.

“He has an old fashion bluecollar work ethic,” says Cook. “He’salways ready to step in and make theteam better. He was dedicated to the

program, andw o r k e de x t r e m e l yhard inp r a c t i c e sand ingames.”

“I’ve beenplaying foraround 15years,” saysVass. “Mybest sportsm e m o r ywould haveto be playingon the under15 Basketball

New-Brunswick team, which competed inNationals in Halifax, Nova Scotia, andplaying against all of the other provinces.I also was able to go to Toronto to playin a tournament for Harrison Trimble HighSchool.”

When Vass is not in the gym he is in theclassroom working at completing adegree in Business Administration. Hehopes to own his own business one day.

When asked why he is involved in ABU’sBlue Tide Athletics he said, “Because Ilove playing basketball”; a sentiment heobviously shares with Webster.

Sometimes it is hard to see howinterconnected our lives can becomewhen we are all pursuing our own

journey; but I saw it that night. I saw howa printer’s devil could become an inspirationfor so many;. how one man’s journey caninspire others.

It was the closing night celebrations of theABU-Oxford experience and students,instructors, and professors gleamed overmountains of salad and warm chickendishes. The room was jumbling asgraduation certificates were being passedaround the kitchen. Faces were beamingwith amicable soft smiles and warmgoodbyes.

It had been a long journey from Canada toEngland and the ABU-Oxford experiencehad reached its final destination. Aftervisiting art galleries, famous Englishgardens, Stonehenge, Darwin’s house, andmany other historical sites, we felt that wehad reached a new level of consciousness.The opportunity to live in England,experience the culture, the history, and theway of life was something that could notbe replaced. We had all been on ajourney.

On that final night together,everyone expressed their pleasurewith the time they had shared inOxford. However, no one wasmore pleased than Dr. DouglasMantz. He was the visionarybehind the whole experience.

I remember Mantz’s warm gentleface turning to me. I don’tremember exactly what he said butit was something like, this isexactly what I envisioned somany years ago. I see now it is areality. It was 12 years ago whenMantz first organized and initiatedthe program. He wanted it to bethe peak experience of the Englishprogram at ABU, which he builtfrom the bottom up.

Like his students, Mantz has also been ona journey. He believes he has spent yearstrying to get it right. I spoke to him and heshared with me about his experiences.

“I am at ABU because I have had countlessinstances that prove this is the centre ofGod’s will for me. I had a little swing at thebig time in big universities, but long agodecided it was a worldly illusion to want tobecome filthy rich, filthy status-ambitious,or filthy happy.”

Mantz has taught at a catalogue ofprestigious schools inside and outsideCanada, including Ontario College ofEducation, University of Toronto (as agraduate student), University ofSaskatchewan, University of Waterloo, andMount Allison University.

He also had a wide and strong backgroundas a student studying at University ofToronto (with Northrop Frye and MarshallMcLuhan), University of Western Ontario,Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University ofLondon, and Oxford University.

“I was needed at ABU to bringintelligence, knowledge, and love tostudents and faculty who were trying tounite modern intellectual width withstrongly-founded and experientiallygrowing faith in God.”

Dr. Stuart Murray first invited Mantz ontothe ABU scene. According to Mantz,Murray wanted to put ABC on the map forits English department.

“He said he did not want me just to teachEnglish,” shares Mantz, “He

wanted me to inspire young peoplewith an ability to be fully bothliterate and articulate,knowledgeable and strongbeyond even what theysuspected they might becapable of. English was not anoption, but a central feature, toworship God with our minds andsouls and hearts.

“I believe I am still doing this;Oxford as the crown jewel of itall,” shares Mantz. His studentscannot disagree.

Charlene Davis, a recent studentof the Oxford program shares,“The foliage day outings andthe talks he gave have made agreat impact on my life in trying

GRADUATES REMAIN PART OF ABU COMMUNITY

From the day they attend their firstclass, to the day they walk acrossthe stage to receive their degrees,

students become part of a community.People who were once strangers becomemore like brothers and sisters. They arehonoured to stand next to these friends ongraduation day. After the photos are takenand the gowns are returned, graduates saytearful goodbyes to their friends whilemaking plans to stay in touch. Theyexchange addresses and telephonenumbers. For many though, as time goesby and in spite of their best efforts, theylose touch with each other and with theirUniversity.

Each year, as our student body grows, itbecomes increasingly important to focuson helping our graduating students remainpart of the ABU community and stayconnected with each other. For this reason,on April 9th, the ABU alumni relationsdepartment hosted its very first senior classreception.

During the reception, the graduates werehonoured for their accomplishments, theircommitment as scholars, and theirwillingness to step out into the workingworld as Christians with a strongfoundation. The reception was intendedto help establish a life-long connectionbetween the graduates and ABU, and alsoto affirm that they will always belong tothis community. “For the past five years Ihave given everything I have to be amember of this community,” said JeremyMcWilliams (’05), “ and I would like toremain part of that community, as much aspossible.”

With an invitation to store their memories,a time capsule, to be opened at their 25-year reunion, was presented to thegraduates. Each graduate was given theopportunity to write a note with their ownpersonal reflections about life and ABU.Several unique items were added to the timecapsule, including the ever-popular TimHortons cup and a lock of JeremyMcWilliams’ hair. “As for giving up my

hair,” says Jeremy, “ I consider it aninvestment. In 25 years, I may need it back.”

“Remember that God has called each of youhere,” challenged special speaker, Wanda(Emke) Jones (’02), as she addressed thegraduates. “Although you may not haveknown the extent of the reasons why whenyou first arrived, you probably have aclearer picture now as you prepare to depart.Many of you have established lifelongfriendships here that will continue to besupportive as life leads you in a variety ofdirections. The bond that you have createdhere is just the foundation.

“As the song for Star Trek Enterprise says,‘It’s been a long road, getting from there tohere.’ Life is a journey with many episodesto the entire series. Finishing up papersand writing final exams are merelysentences in the scripts of your lives. Nowis the time to lift up your head, and continueto walk boldly in faith knowing that Godwill be by your side.”

Alumni Connections

The sun was shining through thewindows of the Great Hall. The aromaof ham, cinnamon rolls, and other

breakfast fare filled the room. The soundof voices blended into a unique harmonyas, once again, many faculty, staff, andstudents of UBBTS/ABC/ABU gatheredfor the annual alumni brunch.

After all was said and done, one hundredand ninety-five friends of the Universitywere part of the enjoyable morning.

business woman, Linda challenged theassembled guests to think about the “Keysto Success” that we all hold, but may notnecessarily be using to their fullestpotential. Quoting Albert Einstein, Lindasaid, “If at first an idea is not absurd thenthere is no hope in it”; a fitting sentiment

NUMBERS TOPPED AT ALUMNI BRUNCH

considering the vision of the late Mrs. RuthColburne when she donated the land onwhich the present and much largerUniversity sits – who would have thought?

Perhaps a reliable measure of the successof an event is found in the way that peoplejust mingle about when it finally comes toan end. Following the alumni brunch,guests, friends of ABU, and alumni hungaround and talked and laughed, much thesame way they did as students when theyhung around the halls of UBBTS/ABC/ABU!

One of the things that make this universityspecial is the close-knit community that hasbeen established here, which is greatlyvalued by the students. The professorscare about their students and want them tostay connected. “I want to know what hashappened to my students 5-10 years downthe road and always appreciate knowingabout their lives,” shares Dr. Sam Reimer,professor of sociology. “ I encourage mystudents to drop in whenever they are inthe area or send an e-mail to let me knowwhat is happening in their lives. I keep awall of grad pictures of students in my officeto help remember them.”

Continued from page 12Overall the senior class reception was wellreceived. “…my favorite part was justgetting together with some of the gradsone last time,” shared Janet MacArthur(’05). “It was a nice way to make theupcoming graduation feel a little more real!”

This senior class reception was thebeginning of a new tradition that will enableABU graduates to collect memories thatcan be shared with each other, with futurestudents, and with our ever-growingcommunity of alumni.

This year’s reunion of the 60-64alumni group will be held at Ralphand Berys Richardson’s cottage,

almost next door to Camp Wildwood. Forthose of you who attended CampWildwood in your younger days, this willbe a great opportunity to relive thosetimes, and also see how the place haschanged over the years.

to live with an ‘attitude of gratitude’ and hehas taught me how to meditate and focusmy thinking on God.”

“We loved him so much and felt that hewas such a part of our lives that when wegot married last August we had him as aspeaker at our wedding” shared Jonathanand Amanda Milke, students of the Oxfordprogram in 2003.

Jonathan Beers (’94), one of the originalparticipants of the Oxford program in theearly 90s, shares how he struggledacademically while learning under Mantzat ABU.

“Dr. Mantz was not put off by this fact butwas an inspiration and a great prof in spiteof that fact. The truth came out later as Iwas diagnosed with dyslexia.” However,Jonathan has recently reached a new stagein his life.

“When I entered grad school my gradepoint average doubled. I think Oxford wasone of the most defining moments in mylife. Two weeks ago I sent my firstmanuscript of my debut novel off to bepublished and I know that Dr. Mantz, aswell as the Oxford program, had a part toplay in that. I cannot say enough to supportboth Dr. Mantz or the Oxford program.”

Now in his twenty-eighth year at ABU,Mantz says he is still trying to get it right.Mantz stepped down from coordinator ofthe ABU-Oxford program last year but theroad he has built continues to lead the wayfor many students. The English departmenthe has designed at ABU is one of the finestin all of Canada. It has a unique two-yearemphasis on the classic major writers frommedieval writers to Shakespeare, to thepresent. “Most universities envy suchcoverage,” says Mantz.

“I bring all this experience with me to teachat ABU. Everybody’s life is full of adventurebefore very long, if they look for it.”
