The
Diocesan Dialogue
July, 2006
Master of Divinity Degree Completed By
Canadian Bishop John+ McMahon
Bishop McMahon has submitted a very large and well-argued thesis which
will be read by the dean of the Alpha and Omega Colleges Bishop +Michael
B. Simmons. If all goes well, Bishop McMahon should receive his very
nice diploma in Latin (all diplomas from the schools are in Latin)
sometime early next year. His clergy are required to study at our
schools for their theological degrees. He is to be commended for this
exemplary precedent.
Bishop McMahon will be
graduating as the very first M.Div. student from St. Paul's College of
the Alpha and Omega Theological Colleges. Our schools are now
international with two students from Latin America, one from Canada, and
several from the USA. The scriptures tell us not to despise small
beginnings. In due time, if we faint not, we shall see the first
building of the schools constructed, and then a fully accredited,
residential seminary offering degrees from the level of bible college to
graduate doctoral degrees.
Bishop +Simmons Elected
Chairman
Bishop +Simmons was
elected to the Chair of the Section on the History of Christianity of the
Southeastern Meeting of the American Academy of Religion for the period
2007-2009.
In May, at the annual meeting of the North America Patristics
Society in Chicago, he will read a paper; and again next year he will read a
paper at the big International Conference on Patristics at Oxford. He needs your
prayers for travel, the papers, and the great journey of learning new things.
