Class of 2003
"Richard Rorty thinks it actually impossible at one and the same time to live a life of self-sacrificial love, a life that blesses others and draws them into peaceful fellowship, and live in submission to an objective truth you believe is rejected by others only at the cost of their eternal life. He is sure that the one is the death of the other. I say to you, graduates, that your summons, your task in life, in obedience and in conformity to your Lord and Master Jesus Christ is to prove Richard Rorty wrong. And you do that by living extremely; by living a life that is both and always an extremism of truth and an extremism of love."
