When you visit campus, the Belcher Center's garden is graced by "The Servant" - a lifesize statue depicting Christ's washing of the disciple's feet. Since 2007, each student graduating from LeTourneau has received a desk-size replica at commencement. It is our hope that the statue will serve as reminder of how we are called as Christians (internal) and also as a witness to colleagues (external.) If you are a 2008 LETU grad and did not receive your statue for a A or B reasons, please let us know at the Alumni office (alumni@letu.edu) and we will try to help you.

How is this not a blatant violation of the second commandment? I know many faculty and students alike on LU's campus have J. I. Packer's book "Knowing God" on their shelves. Have any read through chapter 4?
"God says quite categorically, “Thou shalt not make any likeness of any thing” for use in worship. This categorical statement rules out not simply the use of pictures and statues which depict God as an animal, but also the use of pictures and statues which depict him as the highest created thing we know a human. It also rules out the use of pictures and statues of Jesus Christ as a man, although Jesus himself was and remains man; for all pictures and statues are necessarily made after the “likeness” of ideal manhood as we conceive it, and therefore come under the ban which the commandment imposes."
