A special word of thanks goes to Chief of Staff Eileen Dass and other members of her team, including Sheeza James, for organizing this year’s Christmas Carol event on the top floor of the Jim Tebbe Campus Center, marking the start of the Christmas season at Forman. The event featured a spectacular performance by the Forman choir, introduced by QEC Director Sarah Suleman, which sang traditional carols in both English and Urdu. In addition, there were video reports from across the Forman campus, followed by the simultaneous “switching on of the Christmas lights,” featuring stars, angels, Christmas trees, reindeer, and Santa on his sleigh. December is a special time at Forman, and I look forward to more such events in the coming weeks!
Finally, let me conclude this issue of the Rector’s Update with a “Merry Christmas” to all who celebrate it. As I mention in my annual Christmas message to members of the Forman community, this time of year draws our attention to the love, compassion, and humility of Christ, as expressed in the Gospel of John: “And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.” It also serves as an important reminder to follow in His footsteps, showing love, compassion, and empathy toward others. In that spirit, may this Christmas season bring peace to your hearts, and may the New Year bring blessings to you and your loved ones, along with joy, renewal, and hope.
