THEME: REUNION: COLLEGE BROTHERHOOD & 160 YEARS OF COLLEGE
From Scripture:
‘ Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.’ – Romans 12:10
‘ If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.’ – 1 John 4:20
‘ A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.’ – Proverbs 17:17
Brotherhood
What is the biblical meaning of brotherhood?
‘ Brotherhood is loving one another through a powerful force for good, which comes straight from God.’
What is a definition of the brotherhood of man?
‘ an association of men united in a common interest, work, creed, etc., as a fraternity, religious order, or labour union ; a belief in, or feeling of, unity and cooperation among men or among all people.’
What is the spirit of brotherhood?
‘ To treat one another in a “spirit of brotherhood” means that individuals should, in a figurative or symbolical sense, treat each other in such a way as proper to the relation of a brother.’
What is the purpose of brotherhood?
‘Brotherhood gives you perspective about what is important in life, further enhancing everything you learned when growing up. When you are part of a brotherhood, you learn from fellow men about how a man should lead, how they should treat women, prepare for a future family, and advance in his career and financial life’
What creates a brotherhood?
‘Creating a lasting, lifelong brotherhood takes time, energy, and continual investment. You have to “show up” for your brothers on a regular basis. You need to give time for them to become who they are meant to be. You need to encourage them, challenge them, and push each other to reach new heights.’
What makes a brotherhood special?
Being a brother means that you honestly and truly care for the people around you, and you are willing to help whenever it is needed. It means that you completely accept your fellow brothers for who they are, and you support them at all times.
