McKinley Auditorium Tribute My Rhymes and Reasons for 2.11.26
McKinley Auditorium Tribute
Greg Asimakoupoulos once again from the campus of Seattle Pacific University for the McKinley Auditorium Tribute.
I’m standing in front of Mckenley Auditorium, one of the early buildings on the campus. Not nearly as old as what I shared with you before of Alexander and Adelaide Hall. That was the first building on campus, but this is one that would have been within the first generation of buildings.
It is a stately auditorium. When I was a student here 50 some years ago, when my wife Wendy was a student here, our daily chapel services were held in this building. There were so many students on campus back in those days in the early 70s that there had to be double chapel each day. Chapel A and chapel B to accommodate all the students. It was mandatory chapel back then.
I’m grateful because of the array of wonderful speakers that would come and address us as a student body, opening God’s word to us, helping us come to terms with what it meant to be attending a Christian liberal arts college, how faith and learning come together and are not oxymoronic, but lend themselves elves to being shared values, shared objectives on the path to a abundant and fulfilling life.
