When I first heard this term, I had to pick up an old fashion dictionary and look it up. I was hoping to find some answers, but the dictionary only made it more confusing. Here is what I found: [My Interpretation of the Description]
Con⋅vo⋅ca⋅tion [kon-vuh-key-shuhn]
- noun
1. The act of convoking. [The action of convincing someone.]
2. The state of being convoked. [The state of conviction.] For what? I didn't do anything wrong?
3. A group of people gathered in a answer to a summons [Bunch of people meet in secret to plot a murder.] I am definitely not part of any cult or a secret organization.
4. - 5. Assembly of sorts in Anglican and Protestant Episcopal Church. [Members of church meet to perform a ritual] I am not religious and I barely go to church.
6. A formal assembly at a college or university, esp. for a graduation ceremony. [Large crowds cheer on their loved ones who are receiving their diploma from school]
My point is, why don't they just rename it to graduation ceremony. It's simple and descriptive.
With convocation coming up, I don't want people to get the wrong picture of me. I am a good citizen, not a felon.
