IT'S OFFICIAL
The Hon. Bill Graham '61 was installed as Trinity College's 12th Chancellor at the Faculty of Divinity Convocation on May 8. MP for Toronto Centre-Rosedale and formerly Minister of Defence, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Interim Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, Graham told the graduands: "I'm very proud that this College has become a focal point for the study of international relations, a leader in Canada and, I dare say, the world."

Graham discussed the role of religion and spirituality in a secular society, and encouraged the divinity graduands to be actively involved in public life. He quoted philosopher Charles Taylor, recent recipient of the prestigious Templeton Prize, in his view that religion cannot be separated from politics and that "a deafness to our spiritual dimensions" has terrible social consequences. At the same time, however, he underlined the political philosophy that "the religion of some cannot make the laws for all."
