A Personal Word from the Headmaster L '... I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIENDS . . . We tend to believe that which we perceive with our senses. If you can see, touch, hear, smell, andfor taste it, then it must be real. We also believe that which effects us personallyg love, pain, joy, sadness: those emotional realities we feelfor real, or imagine, for real. Finally, we honour those qualities of Truthfulness, Reliability, Consistency, Integrity, Acceptance, Responsibility, Awareness, Catholicity, and Capacity to Forgive we perceive in those we admire and look up to as heroes for a variety of reasons. In the context of the quotation for the title of this address, ' '... I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIENDS . . Jesus, teacher, friend, counsellor, Divine, indeed, the Son of God, in speaking to His Disciples is anticipating His Death. He is elevating His servants, to the status of equals by calling them L'friends . He is trying to help them understand that the value of friendship lives in the lives of the living and is a quality that is transcendent of the grave. Perception in the tactile sense, in the emotional sense, and in the qualitative sense is fleeting unless that perception is bound by the Spirit of Eternal Love. There are two words which lead us to a deeper un- derstanding of what the Spirit of Eternal Love is: REDEMPTION and RECONCILIATION. Redemption means deliverance from sin and dam- nation wrought by Christ's atonement. Reconciliation means to make friendly after estrangement. Usually, we do not think of our petty grievances as in need of Redemption, especially in the religious sense. And, we find the concept of Reconciliation is a bit high- toned for just learning to get along with others. As for the Spirit of Eternal Love, that notion is regarded as airy-fairy religious idealism with no practical ap- plication in our day-to-day lives. It is amazing to me that words we find strange to our ear, and concepts foreign to our every day thought patterns, tend to turn us off, rather than challenge us to learn their meaning and value. 4 i
