Scope and content

File consists of correspondence regarding Nouwen speaking at the Alumni Convocation at the Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia in October 1978. However, this lecture series was cancelled due to the illness and death of Nouwen's mother. Includes a telegram sent to Nouwen by the Seminary upon hearing the news of Nouwen's mother's illness. The correspondence resumes in 1979 when Nouwen is invited to give the 1980 Zabriskie Lecture as well as accept an honourary degree from the Seminary. Includes correspondence from people thanking Nouwen for his lecture as well as a copy of The Virginia Seminary Journal, January 1981, which contains a copy of his lecture entitled "Downward Mobility: Vocation, Temptation, and Formation in Ministry". Also includes brochures, travel arrangements, a program and the student newspaper, the Ambro, which contains a poem inspired by Nouwen visit. Although the file is labeled October 5 - 6, 1980, the lecture took place October 15 - 17, 1980. The original talk was scheduled for October 5 - 6, 1978.
