"Any time our towers crash we ask ques-
tions: 'Where was God in all of this? How
should we respond? ACU alumni say that
when the towers tumble freedom is reborn.
ACU is a Christian intellectual community
that sees freedom as the best climate in which
to glorify God. I love this university because it
glorifies God.
ACU alumni also say that when the towers
tumble faith is reborn. We aren't helpless
pawns when chaos rises up to defeat us when
towers tumble when wrecks take our friends.
We are linked to God who brings calm to
chaos."
To ACU students; "You have the freedom to
have faith to believe in the spiritual to see
beyond what meets the eye. Believe in princi-
ples enough to be great. Believe in Jesus and
commit yourself to Him. Believe in goals that
are good enough in causes that are inclusive
enough. And when you leave and join the
long purple line of 84000 alumni go and do
extraordinary things. Change the world."
From opening address 'Chaos to Calm" by Dr
Prentice Meador ACU Trustee and preaching minister
at Prestoncrest Church of Christ in Dallas
