PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 28, 1982
PAGE 2
don't think that we are the perfect college of the future, but
we're a forerunner to it. And we're as near on that track as we
know how to be. And this is a college that has been recapturing
the true values. We haven't gotten them all. We don't profess to
have received them all. But in a world that has gone the wrong
way and is in trouble, we have begun to find some of the causes,
some of the reasons and some of the ways that make for peace and
for happiness.
The education of the future•..will begin in the home and in the
cradle. Parents will have to learn first how to teach infants in
the first months of their lives, because infants are being taught
by an invisible Satan self-centeredness and selfishness•..•In the
World Tomorrow, education will begin in the cradle.
I think there will be education in classrooms in the World
Tomorrow.
And I think we're on the track here at Ambassador
College of the kind of education it will be. But I think it will
be refined and improved very greatly over what we have been able
to do here. We have done the best that God has revealed to us, as
far as He's seen fit to reveal, and as far as we have seen. We're
sending this graduating class out into the world. And as Christ
said, they are the light of the world, and that they should let
their light shine that others may see their good works.
Before closing his address, Chancellor Armstrong praised the A.C. students
for their good example in the ACEPT program in Thailand (which, said he, had
come to the notice of the King), and he also spoke highly of the Big Dig at
Jerusalem.
We've sent students every summer for the archaeological project
in Jerusalem. Many other students come there, but our students
stand out. Their light does shine. They're learning a better
way of life. They work harder. They're more conscientious..••
[But] there are people that just hate this institution!
They
hate Ambassador College! But our light does shine and it does do
good••••
Near the conclusion of his address, Mr. Armstrong mentioned that, in the
not-too-distant future, "We're all going to have a different kind of educa
tion."
God provided us with perfect weather for this 32.nd commencement exercise.
Those present included relatives and visiting ministers and their wives in
on the MRP. We also had quite a number of guests and friends of the College
in attendance.
Overall, I felt this was the most inspiring commencement I have ever
attended.
It was certainly good to see Mr. Armstrong feeling fine and
delivering such a powerful address.
The next morning (Thursday, the 20th), Mr. Armstrong and his party left
Burbank Airport at 10:00 a.m. for London.
The last week or so of college is always a very busy time. And even though
the semester is now over, we are sti11 very busy. Just this morning a
