Special Convocation,
Trinity College,
25 November 2013
Your Highness, Chancellor, Provost, members and friends of the Trinity College University Community:
I am deeply honoured to present today His Highness the Aga Khan, the Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims. As a graduate of Trinity College, I feel particularly moved to welcome His Highness into our community at this beloved and extraordinary place. Trinity College, established as an Anglican University in 1852 by the Bishop of Toronto the Right Reverend John Strachan, has a history of learning, education and commitment to ethical values that has remained unbroken for over 160 years. When we welcome Your Highness into this fold, we are welcoming you into a place that combines the sacred with the secular with educational values that have seen its graduates take their place in the modern world and in Canada in a meaningful and committed fashion.
