the academy journal
both their efforts. We make a terrific team. So
let us remember that, and continue to cultivate
a caring institution, one which educates both
hearts and minds. Thank you, all, and congratulations for the roles you played to bring about this
day. Thank you, dear colleagues, for the honor of
coaching with you.
And graduates, while there is some sadness in
your departure, there is also excitement and anticipation. This school has benefited from your
time here, but the greater world needs you more.
It needs your courage, your talent, and your kind-
ness, so it is time for you to leave this religion
lab and enter a much larger one. Barbara Taylor
Brown writes “Wisdom is not gained by knowing what is right. Wisdom is gained by practicing
what is right, and noticing what happens when
that practice succeeds and when it fails.” You have
been coached to know that these supposed failures
are just part of learning. Keep experimenting. And
may each of you continue to find those sweet spots
in your life.
Thank you.
