Linking Faith and Justice

seminary, carol robb and elizabeth liebert were formally installed as pro- fessor of christian social ethics and professor of spiritual life respectively. At our presbyterian seminary, such an event occurs within a formal worship service, and the installation address in this case, two addresses takes the position ordinarily filled by the sermon.for this occasion, the worship space had been transformed:the pulpit was swathed with a hand embroidered quilt, the cross was draped with another quilt, its small, variegated patches looking remarkably like a stole, and the sanctuary space was adorned with still other patchwork quilts, also handmade.green plants, ferns and citrus trees, softened the edges of the concrete chancel steps.two rocking chairs of venerable age took the place of the usual chancel furniture.the traditional academic procession, with all the pomp and color of full academic regalia, began the event.
