[Missouri-l] Invitation to Russell Ewell's Graduaation from Eden Seminary

[Russell Ewell]

Good day All, 
This is Russell Ewell, I know that it has been a long time since man of you have heard from me but as you may remember, I had to resign from every board and committee to pursue my academic endeavors. I wanted to announce and invite anyone who will be in the St. Louis Metropolitan area next Friday to my graduation service.  I WILL BE THE FIRST BLIND PERSON to graduate from Eden Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity Degree in its 156-year history.  The ceremony will begin at 7:30pm on Friday May 15, 2009. Because of its accessibility, the ceremony will be held at Manchester United Methodist Church, 129 Woods Mill Road, Manchester, Missouri.  
 
Please invite others from our community because I believe we need to make a statement.  I was told by many people from our community, from academia, from social service organizations that a blind person “especially one that does not read brail” has never, nor could complete this program because of its academic requirements. Therefore, to make a statement I would love to have as many people as possible with your white canes and guide dogs.  The graduation does not require tickets so it is open to the public.   
 
For more information, you can email me at elohim1992 at sbcglobal.net or via phone at 314-306-4298, or via mail at 1106 Martin Manor Place, Florissant, MO 63031
 
 Again, I hope as many of you as can, will be present.
Blessings and Peace
 
Russell Ewell
