The Doctor of Ministry Program of the University of the South begins its thirty-third year this summer.

Sewanee, TN—The Doctor of Ministry Program of the University of the South begins its thirty-third year this summer.

The Doctor of Ministry program is one of the few in the U.S. which operates only during the summer months. This means that clergy can participate in the program without a major interruption in their parish responsibilities. It affords an opportunity for students to study in an Episcopal seminary in a university setting.

The program stresses the relationship between the practice of ministry, and biblical, historical, and theological knowledge. A Mast of Sacred Theology program focusing on research skills is also available. The program usually takes three or four summers to complete.

The D. Min. program consists of 30 semester hours. Students are required to complete a major project, which is a study of some dimension of one’s ministry or the ministry of the church. Financial aid is available.

Anglican Heritage Tour course will be offered May 31 – Jun 11, 2007. Instructor will be Dr. Susanna Metz. Inquiries about the Anglican Tour course should be addressed to Susanna E. Metz, School of Theology, 335 Tennessee Avenue, Sewanee, TN 37883-001.

The dates for the Advanced Degree summer courses of 2007 are June 20 – July 11. Financial aid is available for the June 20 – July 11 courses.

Courses offered this summer in the Advanced Degrees program will be “Ministry Seminar “ by Dr. Donald Armentrout; “The Rhetoric of Jesus and the Rhetoric of Preaching” by Dr. William Brosend; “The Use of the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL)” by Dr. Reginald Fuller; and “Hymnody of the Christian Church” by Dr. Marion Hatchett.
