President Graves offered strength and determination to the dream of creating a free and faithful theological institution during troubled times in Baptist life, and, thanks to his courage and devotion to that cause, led the Baptist Theological Seminary from conception to maturity for over 15 years.
We are indebted to him for the steadfast focus which offered leadership to our seminary from tender beginnings to its solid foundation and future, and we celebrate the heritage and hope he leaves behind as he concludes this worthy chapter in his ministry and calling.
