Dear leadership, colleagues, and students,

Congratulations, and my deepest thanks and appreciation for all that Bossey represents and continues to offer: as a place of study and reflection, a space where people from different traditions and backgrounds come together in dialogue, and a living symbol of the ecumenical movement.

Over the years, Bossey has been much more than an academic institution. It has been a place of encounter, friendship, learning, and transformation—a place where differences can be explored with openness and respect, and where the shared calling to build greater understanding and unity can take root.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to all those who have contributed to making Bossey what it is today. May it continue to flourish as a place of intellectual and spiritual enrichment, of meaningful encounter, and of hope for the future of the ecumenical movement.

With warmest congratulations and profound appreciation for all that Bossey has been, is, and will continue to be.

The Most Reverend Dr Olav Fykse Tveit,…
