Last night, at the 2019 Urshan Graduate School of Theology Seventeenth Annual Commencement and the Urshan College Fifty-First Annual Commencement, I had the opportunity to talk with Rev. Jerry Jones. Brother Jones, former long time general secretary of the United Pentecostal Church International, is a graduate of UGST and now serves as the assistant professor of theological and pastoral studies and director of the Christian ministries program at Urshan College.

Professor Jones said he had expected to see me in regalia, but this was the first time in probably thirty-five years I did not need to wear it. This is one of the benefits of retirement![archive]
