Induction of the Revd Roger Cameron as CEO of ABESA
St Mary’s School – Waverley, 17h00
24 March 2015
1 Timothy 1:15-17, Luke 6:43-49
May I speak in the name of God who knows each tree by its fruits and who separates the bad tree from the good one. Amen.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, let me repeat what a great delight it is to be with you and to be licensing and inducting Roger as CEO of ABESA tonight.
Roger, we offer you hearty congratulations on this appointment and we warmly welcome you and Ann to this key ministry of our Church.
Let me also congratulate the Board on this appointment, an excellent choice.
We know that Roger comes with extensive experience in educational excellence and a deep mature, Christian faith. We look forward to harnessing these good fruits for both the Church and the nations of ACSA.
Roger, I am confident -- if I may paraphrase St Paul in 1 Timothy when he says, “the saying is sure and full of acceptance” – that as you serve God through ABESA, you will be an example to those who would come to believe in Christ for eternal life. As St Luke says, your leadership and development of ABESA will be characterized by good decisions, for the common good, as a viceroy for God’s Kingdom here on earth.
