Heralds of your cross\,\nforth may they go to tell all realms your grace;\ninspired of you\, may they count all but loss\,\nand stand at last with joy before your face. \n—Denis Wortman\, 1884 \nThese words are part of �鶹��Ƶ’s “school song\,” the hymn written on the occasion of its centennial in 1884. The creation of the main student governing group at the Seminary\, now called SSIM\, was as the Society of Inquiry into Missions in 1812. The Bussing Museum\, housed in Sage Library\, was begun as a collection of artifacts sent from missionaries in the field to seminarians to encourage them to join in spreading Christ’s Good News to every land. \nOn Friday\, October 5\, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm\, as part of the Seminary’s Founders Weekend\, the Reformed Church Center will host “Send Them\, Apostles: �鶹��Ƶ as the Birthplace of RCA Missions”. Three scholars will look at origins and effects of the school’s missionary fervor. Someone who has been working in the mission field will help us consider the future of missions in the RCA and beyond\, so we might all reflect on how this cradle of missions can cooperate with the larger church in this work. \n\n\n\n\nJohn W.

He recently accepted an invitation from Mekane Yesus Seminary in Addas Ababa\, Ethiopia\, to restructure and teach in their Muslim/Christian relations program. He will present “An Unexpected Harvest: Zwemer\, Cantine\, and What They Have Wrought.”\n\n\n\nDerrick Jones is the supervisor of RCA mission in Africa and Oman. He has served in this role for over ten years and is passionate about holistic mission principles\, partnerships and opportunities that advance the missio Dei\, and he will be sharing a Vision for Twenty-First Century RCA Missions.\n\n\n\nEri Kitada is a third-year doctoral student who studies Women’s and Gender History and US History at Rutgers University.
