In his 2015 commencement address to the Palmer Theological Seminary graduates at its West Virginia site, Ben Vincent said, “For my grandfather, I found evidence of his faithfulness.” Vincent was referring to author Randall Frame, who cited the following song lyrics when explaining the reason why he wrote his book “Praise and Promise”: “‘That our children and our children someday, after we have lived our hopes and dreams, will sift all we left behind and find evidence of our faithfulness.’” Vincent continued to congratulate and encourage the new seminary graduates by saying, “As you go out into your pastorates, your ministries and indeed all that you set out to do in life, when your grandchildren and all of your descendants look back upon your earthly existence, may they too find evidence of your faithfulness.”

     The words that Vincent shared that day were inspired by his grandfather’s recently-discovered diploma from 1928, back when Palmer Theological Seminary was still Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Why was finding the evidence of Vincent’s grandfather’s faithfulness so meaningful to the Eastern University and Palmer Theological Seminary communities? As it turns out, his grandfather was Rev. Boyce H. Moody, Eastern’s first graduate. According to his student records, Moody “was the first student to register in the Seminary, coming from Crozer, where he was not in agreement with their teaching.” After graduating from his undergraduate studies at the University of Richmond in 1924, he spent a year at Crozer Theological Seminary, but the faithfulness by which his grandson and the communities he later served remember him took him on a journey that eventually brought him to Eastern in 1925.

     Noting that he was a pastor for three years at Ridge Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia while simultaneously studying at the seminary, his student records also describe him as “a man of very fine mental qualities and a splendid character.” This was, in part, evidenced by years of long weekend commutes between Hampton, Virginia and Philadelphia. After spending several years as pastor of Ridge Baptist Church, Moody accepted a pastorate at Immanuel Church in Philadelphia, which was a more convenient commute than “riding the Old Bay Line ferry from Old Point Comfort in Hampton to Baltimore, Maryland and then catching a train to Philadelphia,” as his daughter, Jean Moody Vincent, recalls. Upon graduating with his Master of Theology, Moody continued his pastoral journey, leading various churches, including: Memorial Church in Hampton, Virginia; First Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, Virginia; First Baptist Church in Alta Vista, Virginia; and Lee Street Memorial Baptist Church in Baltimore, Maryland. While simultaneously raising two daughters with his wife, Hazel, Moody also served on the Hospital Commission for the Southern Baptist Convention and as a trustee at Mississippi Woman’s College.

     Moody tragically died at the age of 57 after being hit by a drunken driver while making his way to Lee Street Memorial Baptist Church for Sunday morning services. However, his journey of faithfulness did not end with his death on Oct. 28, 1959, for–as Scripture tells us–work done in the Lord is not done in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Instead, Moody’s faithfulness continues on in the legacy of service to his community, family and God that he left behind for generations to come. To celebrate the legacy of Boyce Moody is to celebrate the hope and longevity of the Eastern community that has been cherished upon receiving its first students in 1925. Moody’s story is similar to the stories of today’s Eastern and Palmer students. Our journeys of faithfulness have brought us here–to this place we call home. And we are encouraged by those who have gone before us, like Moody, as we continue to allow our lives to be evidence of our faithfulness in our walks with Christ.

     To some Eastern students, it is news to find out that we have a Track and Field team. Yet to the athletes, practices at Valley Forge, workouts in the gym and traveling for meets is very much a part of their daily reality. For those of you who may be confused by the fact that Eastern does not actually have a track, it is still very possible to have a team, and we do. The team, although very new and very young, has a very strong and present talent. So it’s no surprise that they have high expectations for this season, which, in the words of Head Coach Mike Wilson, are: “We have no interest in being a good team; we want to be great.”

     Although the Track and Field team may be news to some, the formation of this team actually has quite a few years of history. According to Wilson, the team started out as a club team in 2011. After gaining interest, the team joined the NCAA program in the summer of 2015, which made last school year (2015-16) its first full outdoor season. However, this year brings even more excitement: this is the “first full indoor track and field season and our first team that has been fully recruited,” Wilson shares.

     With this new season, the team has a lot to offer. I had the chance to speak with two of the team’s 41 first-year students to get a better sense of exactly what Eastern’s Track and Field team is like and what to expect from them in the next couple of months.

     Bryton Henry, distance runner, informs me that part of what makes the team so strong is the coaching. The coaches are supportive and prepared to work with their team to push them to success. Henry feels that Coach Mike is “definitely devoted to his job as a coach.” In reference to Coach Jack, Henry says, “He has the most energy, and he’s not afraid to show it.” The coaching staff has the experience and the dedication to truly allow this team to grow and perform well. Jimae Smith-Hobbs, sprinter, mentions, “And they’re [the coaches] very patient with us. They know us outside the track, and it shows on the track.”

     This “energy,” as Henry uses to refer to Coach Jack, seems to be a very common characteristic of the team as a whole, which has given life and enthusiasm to all of the hours of hard work these athletes put on the track. Smith-Hobbs puts this energy to words as she describes the team as a “functioning lunatic”; she further explains the team as “ that loud, obnoxious family that no one wants anywhere.” However, the high energy seems to work in their favor because the team has a lot to look forward to as they continue to grow and thrive in the years to come.

     With coaches who care for their athletes on and off the track and athletes who are dedicated to their events and their teammates, the Track team may have been one of Eastern’s best-kept secrets, but the news is out, and the silence will not last much longer. This team’s talent and spirit is gaining momentum and will not be stopped any time soon.

     Stepping through the doorway of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s newest exhibit “Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism” is a unique experience that allows you to, quite actually, step back in time to experience a world of rich history and culture that is oftentimes otherwise and unfortunately characterized by gaudy, Americanized versions of the taco. The exhibit, open now through Jan. 8, 2017 until it travels to the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes of Mexico City later in 2017, features a wide range of accomplished artists, including well-known names such as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Starting with pieces from the early 1910s and ending with works from the 1950s, “Paint the Revolution” depicts a very robust and emotive take on the history of the Mexican Revolution from a perspective that may be difficult to find within the pages of any history textbook. The artists’ variety of media–from watercolors to wood prints to pastels on cardboard–work to create images that provide a firsthand account of both the internal and external struggles the people of Mexico were dealing with as a result of the Revolution that so heavily marks their past.

     The first piece that graces the eye upon walking into the gallery is an oil on canvas painting, “The Offering” by Saturnino Herrán in 1913. Nearly six feet tall and seven feet long, the painting depicts a caravan of indigenous men and women transporting flowers by boat, an important commodity for many of their cultural practices like Día de los Muertos. The muted pastel shades of the turquoise water and the orange of the marigolds contrasted with the tired, weathered faces of the workers presents a melancholy scene of Mexican culture as beautifully peaceful, although painstaking at times.

     As you are carried through the gallery and the decades increase, the peacefulness originally portrayed in the opening painting is slowly lost. The name of the exhibit, after all, is “Paint the Revolution.” The shades of pastel that Herrán utilized originally become less and less frequent among artists and are replaced by deep, harsh colors that help to embody the stark turmoil of the war. The cultural representation of Mexican customs slowly fades to illustrate the oppression of modernity as a result of the onset of the Revolution.

     The exhibit continues by displaying pieces that show a constant fluctuation between times of hardship and unrest for the Mexican people and times of peace and celebration of culture, times which most often had their greatest effects on Mexico politically, socially and economically. This fluctuation is visually represented by color schemes that reflect varying tones of the period, artistic styles and techniques that indicate a modernized worldview, and shifting to subjects that demonstrate the effects of war and modernity.

     At its core, “Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism” is a journey that allows all who walk through it to see history as it was happening. The art featured in this exhibit is what has survived from a devastating time in Mexico’s history, and it will continue to speak long after its creators have passed on and can no longer tell the story themselves. The art provides a very up-close and intimate perspective on this time period in a way that no page of a history textbook could even begin to describe. By walking through this exhibit, we are seeing life in early Mexico through the eyes of those who experienced it firsthand. It shows a people who have lived and lost, who have endured and who deserve to be remembered. It shows a culture which has thrived and suffered, which has remained: a culture which deserves to be celebrated.
