Scope and content

File consists of a draft typescript of "Commencement Sermon: Princeton Theological Seminary". The themes of the paper are ministry, love and downward mobility. He argues that the minister must love the Lord, must feed the sheep (and be fed by them), and must be led where (s)he would rather not go. This is the same paper that Nouwen gave at the Baccalaureate ceremony at Yale Divinity School.
