Making Application - Doctor Of Ministry (Christian Spirituality)
The Doctor of Ministry in Christian Spirituality program offers a professional degree that integrates theological development and pastoral practice for effective leadership as a full-time minister. The program focuses on the study of classical spirituality, its relevance to contemporary forms of ministry, its transformative role in the life of the minister and its potential for influencing social systems. Courses stimulate in-depth inquiry into the contemporary expression of the spiritual life, while drawing upon the rich reserve and inspiration of the Franciscan, Carmelite, Redemptorist, Augustinian, Ignatian and Salesian traditions.
