Doctoral Research

Many accredited ministers from our Convention have completed earned doctorates at recognized educational institutions from across North America and other parts of the world. Collected here are summaries, and in some cases, a copy of the thesis completed by some or our clergy as part of their doctoral studies. This collection will give you a glimpse of the diversity of research interests among our very capable ministers.
