Welcome to Columbia
Theological Seminary

A seminary rich in both tradition and vision.

For more than 165 years, Columbia Seminary has equipped men and
women for ministry in the Church of Jesus Christ, and today we remain
on the cutting edge of theological education. Informed by the Biblical and
Reformed traditions and empowered by a commitment to the world-wide
church, Columbia eagerly embraces the challenges of a new century.

Our journey together is shaped by:

profound commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ;

a superb faculty of 32 men and women of academic excellence,
pastoral concern, and wide ecclesiastical experience;

a dynamic student body composed of 630 students from 21 coun-
tries and a variety of backgrounds, ages, denominations, and careers;

a curriculum designed to prepare leaders of highest quality for
service in the church. Included are "cutting edge" programs in theology
and media, international studies, clinical pastoral education, evangelism,
and spiritual formation;

a top-quality continuing education program, helping ministers
and laity to keep growing in their understanding of the faith and increasing
their competence in ministry;

a first-class administrative team, committed to excellence in pro-
viding support for the teaching ministry of the seminary.

Because Columbia is only minutes away from downtown Atlanta,
a city of growing international importance and home of the 1996 Summer

Olympics, students enjoy a wealth of ministry opportunities from tutor-
ing inner-city youth to working with international students, homeless min-
istries, or the nationally acclaimed Atlanta Project on behalf of the
economically disadvantaged.

As you review this catalog and visit our campus, I'm confident you
will catch a glimpse of what makes Columbia unique and why it is such
an exciting place to pursue theological education. A warm welcome and a
stimulating challenge await you.

STATEMENT OF MISSION

Columbia Theological Seminary is

an educational institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA), and a
community of theological inquiry
and formation for ministry
in the service of the Church
of Jesus Christ.

At Columbia, people of faith seek to witness
to God's creative power,
redemptive action,
transforming justice
and reconciling love,
in a pluralistic society and
interdependent world.

We understand Christian faith to include
worship of God,
faithfulness to Jesus Christ,
cultivation of the mind,
disciplines of the Christian life,
ministries of proclamation, nurture,

compassion, and justice
expression of faith through the arts,
and participation in the life of the Church.

Our special mission in the service of the Church,
and especially the Presbyterian Church (USA), is
to educate women and men for leadership

in ordained and lay ministries;
to offer first degree, graduate degree,

and continuing education programs;
and to provide theological resources
for the denomination,
for the ecumenical church,
and for persons with a variety of
theological concerns.

Because we are an education institution,
our calling is

to prepare persons to lead congregations

in worship, witness, mission, and service;
to pursue learning that joins

mind and heart;
to develop personal and professional skills
for leadership in the church;

to learn

from the world-wide Church,
from education, the arts, politics,

economics, and science,
and from those outside the centers
of power and influence;
to consider critically from the perspective
of the Christian faith,

ideological, technical, and scientific assumptions

including our own
about the human situation.

Because we are a confessional community of the Church, we
live under the authority of Jesus Christ
as witnessed to
in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments,
in the Church throughout the ages,
and in the Reformed tradition and
its confessions;
affirm the worship of God as a vital and
central feature of our life together,
and celebrate the goodness of God
in all creation;
believe in Christ's lordship over the

whole world;
articulate an evangelical understanding
of life rooted in the rule
of God's justice and love;
listen with openness

to voices of hopelessness and hope
around and within us;
acknowledge our own brokenness

and need for redemption;
commit ourselves

to diversity and inclusivity,
to ecumenicity,

and to discerning the ongoing manifestations of
God's presence in human affairs;
nurture a personal and corporate faith
which takes responsibility
for our choices

amid the political realities,

the social institutions,

and the global context

in which we live.

In carrying out our mission,

we seek to be faithful to the gospel,
and to become a living expression of
the Body of Christ in the world.

HISTORY

The first permanent location of the seminary was in Columbia, South
Carolina, in 1828, a principal cultural, intellectual, and population center
of the Southeast.

The first idea of a theological school for the South was planted by the
Presbytery of Hopewell (Georgia) as early as 1817, but it was not until 1824
that a constitution for "The Classical, Scientific, and Theological Institution
of the South" was adopted by the Presbytery of South Carolina, and the
members of the presbytery were authorized to act as the Board of Trustees
for that institution.

In 1827 the Board recommended to the Synod that the constitution be
altered to make the institution solely a theological seminary. (There had
been great opposition to the proposed literary department being in com-
petition with the College of South Carolina.) The official name of the sem-
inary became The Theological Seminary of the Synod of South Carolina
and Georgia; it soon became known as Columbia Theological Seminary
a name which was accepted as permanent in 1925. The revised constitution
was adopted by the synod in 1828, and it was resolved to get the seminary
into operation immediately.

The Reverend Thomas Goulding, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in
Lexington, Georgia, was elected the first Professor of Theology in December
of 1828, and he gathered five students for instruction in the manse. Follow-
ing completion of arrangements in Columbia, South Carolina, they moved
to a campus there in January of 1830.

That same year, the Reverend George Howe, a New Englander, was
elected by the synod as instructor in languages. The following year he
became Professor of Biblical Literature, and, shortly, librarian, overseeing
the growth of the seminary's library from the original 300 books collected
by the presbyteries in 1829 to more than 3,000 by 1836. Dr. Howe also
organized the first curriculum for the seminary, apparently modeling it
after those of Princeton Seminary and Andover Theological Seminary. He
served nearly 50 years until his death in 1883.

In 1857 the Synod of Alabama adopted the seminary as "our own, plac-
ing its name among those of the institutions which we call 'ours/ and which
we are to cherish and care for, support, help, and encourage as our own."
Florida (as part of the Synod of South Georgia and Florida) joined in 1884,
with Mississippi completing the five-synod structure in 1925.

Among the buildings on the Columbia campus was the little chapel
formerly a carriage house where Woodrow Wilson was to be "reborn
for eternity," and where the Book of Church Order (Presbyterian Church U.S.)
was written.

By the 1920s, the population of the Southeast and of Presbyterians
in the area was shifting, and the centers of influence were moving with

it. Atlanta had been a transportation center since the 1880s, and was de-
veloping as a commercial, industrial, and also an educational and cultural
center. Certain Atlanta Presbyterians and leaders of the seminary were
convinced of the city's leadership of the New South and its advantages for
the seminary and of the seminary for the city. In 1924, the Board of
Directors agreed (after two previous refusals in 1887 and 1904), and the
decision was made to move to Atlanta, if a campaign for the new facilities
and endowment could be successfully completed in the Synod of Georgia.
Launched in 1925, the campaign had a goal of $500,000 which was promptly
subscribed. In that success the cooperation of the city's 14,193 Presbyterians
in the 74 churches played the determining part.

The move of the seminary from Columbia, South Carolina, to Decatur,
Georgia, was guided by Richard T. Gillespie, who served as president from
1925 to 1930. He provided the leadership which led to the development of
the new facilities.

In 1927 the seminary transferred its Columbia traditions and ministry,
its students and faculty, and its books and equipment to a 57-acre Decatur,
Georgia, site on the outskirts of Atlanta, joining Candler School of Theology
and another 11 of the current 23 institutions of higher education in the
greater Atlanta area.

The early years in Decatur were difficult ones for Columbia. For a time,
especially with the coming of the Great Depression, the future of the in-
stitution seemed uncertain. In 1932, however, Dr. J. McDowell Richards
was elected president. Under his able leadership, the seminary experienced
its greatest growth. The endowment was increased by over five million
dollars. The present library, Richards Center, Florida Hall, three student
apartment buildings, and 13 faculty homes were built. The faculty was
increased from six to 21 full-time members, and the student body quad-
rupled. Following President Richards' retirement, Dr. C. Benton Kline
served as president from 1971 until the end of 1975, when he resigned to
return to active teaching. Dr. J. Davison Philips, pastor of the Decatur Pres-
byterian Church, assumed the presidency on January 1, 1976, and retired
exactly 11 years later.

Until June 1983 Columbia Seminary was an instrument of the Presby-
terian Church U.S. but with special relationship to the Synods of Florida,
Mid-South and Southeast. The Plan of Government, under which the semi-
nary operates, defines the rights and responsibilities of both the seminary
and the synods. In June 1983 Columbia became a seminary in the reunited
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Its synod ties are with the synods of South
Atlantic and Living Waters.

On January 1, 1987, Douglas Oldenburg, pastor of the Covenant Pres-
byterian Church in Charlotte, NC, became the seventh president.

LOCATION

Columbia Seminary is situated on a gently-rolling, wooded site in sub-
urban Atlanta. On its spacious 57-acre campus are Campbell Hall, the
school's academic and administrative center, as well as the library, student
center, dormitories, apartments, faculty homes, and recreational facilities.
A continuing education center was completed early in 1989.

Nearby are two stations (Decatur and Avondale) of the metropolitan
area's rapid transit system, MART A, which serves as a gateway to the sights
and sounds of the capital city of the Southeast and site of 1996 Olympics.
Atlanta offers Columbia's students a variety of cultural, artistic, intellectual
and athletic opportunities.

The seminary's setting also provides a wide range of opportunities for
participation in the ongoing life of the church. The Presbytery of Greater
Atlanta is composed of 116 congregations with more than 46,000 members.

Finally, the metropolitan area functions as an invaluable learning lab-
oratory for the seminary community. It offers students a broad range of
options for contextual learning as well as supervised ministry and clinical
pastoral education placements.

ADMISSIONS
INFORMATION

ADMISSIONS PROCEDURE FOR REGULAR DEGREE STUDENTS

Students desiring admission to basic degree programs or special pro-
grams should request an application from the Office of Admissions. In
addition to the completed application form, a student must furnish tran-
scripts, references, and a letter of endorsement from one's home church.
Test scores from the Graduate Record Examinations General Test may also
be requested. An interview with a member of the Admissions Committee
is required. This interview is best done on campus.

Students admitted to the seminary will be provided a health form to be
filled out by a physician and an application for seminary housing.

Certain students are required to have a reading knowledge of Greek.
(See page 70 for details.) Such students who request permission to begin
without the Greek requirement can only be admitted by action of the fac-
ulty, or, in special cases, by the Admissions Committee in consultation with
the Dean of Faculty.

Students desiring admission to an advanced degree program may se-
cure applications from the Office of Advanced Studies. Ordinarily, a basic
divinity degree is required for entrance into the Master of Theology, the
Doctor of Ministry, or the Doctor of Sacred Theology programs.

Specific admissions requirements for each degree are found below in
the Academic Information Section.

SPECIAL, UNCLASSIFIED, AND OCCASIONAL STUDENTS

Students meeting requirements for admission to the basic degree pro-
gram but not wishing to work toward a degree may be admitted as special
students to take courses for credit. Their program of study must be ap-
proved by the Dean of Faculty.

Students who do not meet admissions requirements may be admitted
for a period of up to one academic year as an Unclassified student.

Occasional students may be admitted by the Dean of Faculty to take
courses of particular interest if prerequisites for each course are satisfied.
Course selection must be approved by the Dean of Faculty.

AUDITORS

Regular students, spouses of students, and other members of the com-
munity are invited to audit courses, with the permission of the instructor
and as space is available. Registration as an auditor must be made through
the Office of the Registrar.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Students in good standing in other accredited seminaries may be ad-
mitted after transcripts have been evaluated and their applications ap-
proved by the Admissions Committee. These students must secure a letter
from the dean indicating that they are students in good standing. Transfer
students into the M.Div. program are required to spend a minimum of
three 14-week regular load semesters in residence.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

All international students are expected to have the written recommen-
dation of their denomination. A statement of the student's plans for future
work in the student's home country is required, as is a statement of avail-
able finances for their study. Normally, international students are accepted
only for graduate work beyond the M.Div. level. Students whose native
language is not English must include, with the regular application data,
the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores. (See below.)
Application should be made to the Director of International Theological
Education.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

All U.S. students (citizens or with permanent resident visas) for whom
English is a second language must take the TOEFL exam before admission
and enrollment for credit. Those seeking admission must score at least 550
and those wishing to take courses as Occasional students for credit must
score at least 500. Students who score close to these levels may take courses
for credit for one semester but must retake and meet the required level
before further work will be allowed. Students may audit courses as Occa-
sional students without taking the TOEFL.

International students for whom English is a second language and who
are applying for admission to a degree program must have a score of 500
on the TOEFL before admission and enrollment for credit. Those interna-
tionals coming on special scholarships for a non-degree course of study at
Columbia will be evaluated by the International Theological Education
Committee for English proficiency to match the nature of their study at
Columbia.

Students needing additional proficiency in English will be encouraged
to take courses in English as a second language in the Atlanta area.

CONFERENCES FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

Columbia Seminary sponsors two conferences on ministry each spring
and fall. During these conferences, men and women from any denomina-
tion who are exploring their call to ministry are invited to attend classes,
meet in faculty homes, talk with students, staff and faculty, and worship

with the seminary community. All persons who are considering the pos-
sibility of a church vocation, whether college students or those currently
engaged in other careers, are invited to participate in the conference of
their choice. The dates for this year's conferences are November 5-7, 1993,
and February 25-27, 1994. For further information, write to the Director of
Admissions, Columbia Seminary, Box 520, Decatur, GA 30031-0520.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Columbia offers courses of study leading to both basic and advanced
degrees. The Master of Divinity is the basic professional degree. The Master
of Arts in Theological Studies is also a basic theological degree, but academic
rather than professional in orientation. The advanced degrees are the Mas-
ter of Theology, the Doctor of Ministry and the Doctor of Sacred Theology.
Men and women from all denominations are eligible to apply for any of
these degrees.

BASIC DEGREES

Admission

Admission to the basic degree programs at Columbia Seminary usually
requires a four-year degree from an accredited university or college of arts
and sciences, or its equivalent. Students without four years of pre-seminary
preparation are not eligible to earn degrees at the seminary except by spe-
cial action of the faculty. When requested to do so by presbyteries of the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Columbia may accept students without a uni-
versity or college degree for a special course of study.

A major in one of the liberal arts fields is most helpful as preparation
for theological studies. Basic courses in philosophy, European and Ameri-
can history, psychology, sociology, and English grammar and literature
form the foundation for seminary studies. Students with inadequate back-
grounds in these areas may be required to take remedial work or select
particular electives within the seminary curriculum.

Students entering Columbia Theological Seminary are required by the
seminary's Plan of Government to take the pledge given below. The use
of such a pledge was begun at Princeton Seminary around 1817 and con-
tinues, in some form, in most American Presbyterian seminaries.

In reliance on God's grace, I promise that as long as I am a student at
Columbia Theological Seminary, I will be a diligent student and a responsible
member of the seminary community as I seek to grow in academic excellence,
spiritual maturity and Christian discipleship in preparation for the service of
God in the Church of Jesus Christ for the sake of its mission to the world.

MASTER OF DIVINITY DEGREE

Students admitted to the Master of Divinity degree program choose
either a three component (year) program or a four component (year) pro-
gram with an intern year leading to the Master of Divinity degree. The first
two components of both involve a common program. The academic courses
and supervised ministry in these initial components are designed to assist
the student in developing intellectual tools and professional skills to begin

11

the practice of ministry. At the end of the second component, students,
together with their peers and faculty, engage in a process of professional
evaluation.

Students pursuing the three component Master of Divinity degree move
directly to the final component. Students in the four component program
proceed to two further components, the first of which includes a twelve-
month period of supervised ministry in an approved setting. The final, on-
campus component involves, in addition to academic course work, a sem-
inar enabling students to reflect on their period of supervised ministry.

The term "components" is used rather than "years" since the amount
of time a student takes to complete the component may be more or less
than an academic year. The A and B components represent the initial com-
mon program for the first professional degrees. The C component follows
the mid-course assessment and represents the final stage leading to the
Master of Divinity degree. For students in the four component program,
the D component designates the 12-month period of supervised ministry,
and the final component is the C on-campus component.

Requirements for the M.Div. Degree

1. There must be on file with the seminary a complete and official
transcript of credits showing graduation with a bachelor's degree from an
accredited university or college of liberal arts and sciences, or its equivalent,
as well as a completed health form and standardized test results.

2. The student will be tested for and must achieve competency in
writing and speech.

3. The student must be admitted to degree candidacy at the end of
the B component. To qualify for candidacy, the student must be engaged
in or have satisfied all the academic and supervised ministry requirements
for the A and B components (as outlined on page 14) together with enough
electives to total 74 credits. The overall grade average must be C + or better.

4. The candidate must satisfactorily complete all the requirements of
the C component (as outlined on page 14) with a total of 104 credits, not
counting Greek language credits.

5. The overall grade point average must be 2.3 or better.

6. The student must pass an approved Bible content exam and a stand-
ard English test; test fees are the responsibility of the student.

7. The student must be in residence for at least six long semesters
(excluding transfer students) and in the last semester must be registered
for at least ten hours. (Exception to this policy can be granted only by
faculty vote on a written request made to the Dean of Faculty.)

8. The faculty must be satisfied that the candidate shall have sustained
a sound moral and religious character in seminary life and gives promise
of useful service in the ministry or other church vocations.

12

9. All bills to the seminary must be paid and assurance given that all
open accounts in the community and elsewhere have been satisfied. Stu-
dents with education loans must agree to make prompt and regular pay-
ments.

Mid-Course Assessment

Admission to the C Component emerges from the mid-course assess-
ment and must be approved by the faculty. The mid-course assessment is
a major review of the student's potential for ministry that occurs after the
completion of the major requirements of the A and B components. This
assessment is usually scheduled in the spring term of the B component.
Detailed guidelines for the assessment process are given to the student well
in advance, including criteria, data to be considered, composition of the
assessment committee, intent of the interview, and possible recommenda-
tions to the faculty which might ensue.

Every M.Div. degree student must meet the mid-course assessment re-
quirement. A student seeking ordination shall have established a working
relationship with the appropriate ecclesiastical body in order to be eligible
for an assessment.

At the mid-course assessment, among other issues, questions of personal
and professional growth shall be addressed, and any recommendations or
stipulations arising from this will be reviewed by the faculty prior to award-
ing the M.Div. degree.

Awarding the Master of Divinity Degree

The seminary's Plan of Government requires that students whom the
faculty recommends to the Board of Directors for the M.Div. degree "shall
have sustained a sound moral and religious character in their seminary
life." The recommendation of students to the Board implies that, to the
best of its knowledge, the faculty considers them to be such persons.

The permanent file of an M.Div. candidate who is not seeking ordina-
tion at the time of graduation shall contain a statement to that effect.

Certified Minister of Christian Education

A student in the M.Div. program can take Christian education courses
which will lead to certification as a minister of Christian education. Stu-
dents interested in this specialty should see the Dean of Faculty.

MASTER OF ARTS IN THEOLOGICAL STUDIES

The purpose of this two year flexible degree program is to provide
theological studies for those exploring career options, preparing for doc-
toral studies, church leadership positions, or specialized forms of lay min-
istry, or for those investigating the relationships between a profession and
theological issues or faith and the modern world. This program is not de-
signed to prepare persons for the practice of ordained ministry, though it
may be useful for those already ordained in traditions that do not require
seminary.

Students, after consultation with the Director of the MATS Program and
prior to the completion of 24 degree credits, select one of the following
five fields of specialization: Old Testament, New Testament, Theology,
Church History, Ethics. A faculty advisor from the area of specialization is
assigned by the Director for consultation in the selection of courses and
the required Independent Study in the specialization, which includes a
major paper. Proficiency in Hebrew or Greek is a requirement for the Old
Testament or New Testament specialization.

General Requirements for the MA. in Theological Studies Degree

1. Students must earn a total of 48 credits. Included shall be the MATS
Seminar, at least one basic course in three of the five fields of specialization;
an additional course in two of the five fields, a minimum of five courses
in the chosen field of specialization and three courses in a cognate field.
Other course requirements may be established by the Area in which the
specialization falls. No more than three Practical Theology Area courses
may be counted as electives in the degree program.

2. Students must successfully complete a three or more credit inde-
pendent study in the field of specialization. The purpose of the Independ-
ent Study and the research paper is to provide students with the
opportunity to explore in depth a critical issue in the field and to bring
analytical and constructive skills to bear on the issue. Following the reading
of the paper, the student and the advisor will discuss the paper.

3. All work must be completed within five years from the date of
admission.

Details of the program are available from the Director of the Master of
Arts in Theological Studies Program, Columbia Seminary, Box 520, Decatur,
Georgia 30031-0520.

CENTER FOR THEOLOGICAL STUDIES IN FLORIDA

Established in 1990 as an extension program of the seminary, the center
offers required and elective courses for students in the Master of Divinity
and Master of Arts in Theological Studies degree programs. Non-degree
students may choose to receive credit for courses by registering for Occa-
sional student status. Persons may also enroll as auditors.

15

Currently the center is jointly sponsored by Columbia Theological Sem-
inary and Eden Theological Seminary, a seminary of the United Church of
Christ, in St. Louis. Four courses are offered each fall and spring semester
on the campus of Rollins College, Winter Park, FL. Classes are ordinarily
offered on evenings and weekends.

In order to complete degree requirements, an M.Div. student must com-
plete a minimum of three long semesters in residence on the Decatur cam-
pus; an M.A.T.S. student a minimum of two.

For further information, write or call the Director of the Center for
Theological Studies in Florida, 400 S. Lakemont Avenue, Winter Park, FL
32792, 407/647-1947.

ADVANCED DEGREES

Columbia offers three programs leading to advanced degrees. Each
builds on the M.Div. degree and, in the case of the D.Min. and S.T.D.
programs, also on necessary ministry experience which has ensued since
the reception of the M.Div. degree.

In addition to the resources of the faculty and library on Columbia's
campus, graduate students are expected to draw upon the resources of the
Atlanta area. The S.T.D. and D.Min. programs are administered by the
Graduate Professional Studies Committee of the Atlanta Theological As-
sociation, which coordinates and augments the resources of Candler School
of Theology of Emory University, the Interdenominational Theological
Center, Columbia, Erskine Theological Seminary in Due West, SC, and Lu-
theran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, SC. Th.M. degree stu-
dents may also include in their program studies at these other seminaries.

The resources of the Atlanta community are also available to Columbia
graduate students. Accredited programs of clinical pastoral education and
pastoral counseling are available in many settings. The Urban Training
Organization of Atlanta provides resources in the area of urban problems
and urban ministries. Numerous national and regional offices of denomi-
national and interdenominational agencies are located in Atlanta. Other
educational opportunities are available at Emory University, Georgia State
University, and colleges in the area.

Students must submit to the Advanced Degrees Committee for approval
a written statement of the topic and proposal for research, together with
the names of the faculty members serving on the dissertation/thesis com-
mittee. This must be submitted no later than the November meeting of the
Advanced Degrees Committee in the academic year in which the student
anticipates graduation. The topic and proposal must be previously ap-
proved by the dissertation/thesis committee.

For students desiring to graduate in any advanced degree program at
the spring commencement, March 1 is the deadline for provisional approval
of the thesis or dissertation by the project committee, and April 15 is the
deadline for final completion of the project.

MASTER OF THEOLOGY

The Master of Theology (Th.M.) degree program has three purposes:
for advanced study in an area of ministry, especially by persons in pastoral
ministry; as preparation for entering teaching or as a step toward a Ph.D.;
and as preparation for a specialization in ministry (pastoral counseling, for
example).

17

Admission

Application for admission to the Th.M. program is made through the
office of the Director of Advanced Studies. The M.Div. degree from an
accredited seminary or divinity school, or its academic equivalent, is re-
quired. In certain cases a Master of Arts or a Master of Theological Studies
degree in the appropriate area may be accepted as a prerequisite and ad-
ditional preparatory work may be required. Ordinarily, a B average in an
applicant's college and seminary program is considered a minimum stand-
ard for admission. Except for the Th.M. in pastoral counseling, a knowledge
of both the Hebrew and Greek languages is prerequisite for the program.
If an applicant's M.Div. course required less than these two languages, the
student may substitute an approved language for one of the Biblical lan-
guages.

Requirements for the Degree

In order to qualify for the Th.M. degree, a student must complete the
following within five years (six years for Pastoral Counseling):

1. at least 24 semester credits of academic work at the advanced level
(courses numbered in the 600' s) with grades that average not less than B.
This academic work shall involve at least 15 hours taken through regular
residential courses at Columbia Seminary.

2. an acceptable thesis, which shall constitute six additional credits.

3. an oral examination, which shall be given after the thesis has been
completed.

Concentration

Each student will concentrate in one of the following areas:

1. Biblical studies

2. Historical-doctrinal studies

3. Practical Theology studies

At least 12 course credits must be taken in the area of concentration.
Within that area at least nine credits, in addition to the six credits for the
thesis, must be taken in a chosen field (i.e., Old Testament or theology or
evangelism). At least six course credits must be taken outside the area of
concentration in one or both of the other areas.

All course credit must be in 600 or 700 level courses. However, up to
three credits of lower level course work may be counted if there is prior
approval by the thesis committee (if appointed) or the Director of Advanced
Studies and the Dean of Faculty.

18

Pastoral Counseling Specialization

A student concentrating in pastoral studies may elect the field of pas-
toral care or may elect a specialization in pastoral counseling. The begin-
ning of the latter program requires the successful completion of a non-
credit intern year in an institution accredited by the Association for Clinical
Pastoral Education.

The normal curriculum for students in the pastoral counseling special-
ization involves two years of participation in a pastoral counseling practi-
cum at an Atlantic area training center accredited by the American
Association of Pastoral Counselors. During that time in the practicum, the
student will also take the four-course core curriculum designed for Th.M.
and S.T.D. students. The supervision provided by the practicum allows the
student to apply for membership in the American Association of Pastoral
Counselors. The six credits from the practicum (P638) may be applied to
the required 24 credits of academic work.

DOCTOR OF MINISTRY

The Doctor of Ministry degree program for the working minister has
been established by the schools participating in the Atlanta Theological
Association. The program has been designed to continue the education of
persons for their practice of ministry in the church and in related institu-
tional settings. It provides an advanced, yet flexible, education for those
whose vocation as servants of people and servants of Jesus Christ implies
their further disciplined reflection upon, and possibly their further spe-
cialization within, their own ministry.

Students apply for admission in a particular school of the Atlanta The-
ological Association but may take advanced courses in any ATA school.

Admission

Each applicant should hold an M.Div. or equivalent degree from an
accredited seminary or divinity school, with a superior academic record
and/or superior professional performance, and should have at least one
year, preferably three or more, of professional experience since receiving
the basic degree.

Each applicant must submit a personal statement of not more than ten
double-spaced pages giving biographical data, academic and ministry
achievements, interests, goals, and personal purposes for the D.Min. pro-
gram that illustrate continued development.

Advanced standing on the basis of post-M.Div. courses in other pro-
grams will be determined by the Dean of Faculty.

Program of Study

Although it may be spread over a period up to four years, the program
of study requires participation in the equivalent of more than a full year
of academic and clinical courses. The doctoral project is executed after the

19

completion of these courses and usually as part of the ongoing professional
work of the minister.

Thirty-six semester credits are required, distributed as follows:

Six credits for the core seminar in contemporary ministry and career
assessment;

Six credits for an approved ministry-under-supervision experience
equivalent to approximately 400 hours;

Eighteen credits of advanced courses;

Six credits for the doctoral project.

To assist both personal development and also course and project plan-
ning, each student secures a faculty adviser and a doctoral committee. After
completion of course work and before the execution of the doctoral project,
the student will take an examination covering a range of subjects desig-
nated by his or her doctoral committee.

For further information and application forms, write to Director of Ad-
vanced Studies, Columbia Theological Seminary, Box 520, Decatur, Georgia
30031-0520.

DOCTOR OF SACRED THEOLOGY IN PASTORAL COUNSELING

This degree is offered through the Atlantic Theological Association by
Columbia Theological Seminary, the Candler School of Theology, and the
Interdenominational Theological Center. The program of study is con-
ducted under the direction of the S.T.D. Committee of the Atlanta Theo-
logical Association. The S.T.D. Committee has responsibility for approving
admission to the program, establishing curriculum offerings, and certifying
candidates for the awarding of the degree. Students may register for
courses at any of the ATA seminaries.

Aims of the Program

The purpose of the Doctor of Sacred Theology in pastoral counseling is
to prepare clergy to serve as pastoral counselors in a local church or on the
staff of a community counseling center, to serve as consultants to other
clergy, and to offer training in pastoral care and counseling. The program
is designed to prepare persons for the specialized ministry of pastoral coun-
seling at a doctoral level of competence and for membership at the Fellow
level in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. The degree is
intended to be an equivalent of the Ph.D. but is designed for those whose
interest in pastoral counseling is primarily professional and theological.

Program of Study

The studies included within the program will help the student gain an
advanced understanding of appropriate theological and theoretical con-
cepts; learn under qualified supervision the application of these concepts

20

in pastoral counseling and how to promote professional integration of the-
ory and skills in both pastoral counseling and pastoral guidance; and design
and execute a research project appropriate to the student's professional
practice which will give evidence of creative ability to contribute to this
aspect of pastoral counseling.

Course Work and Practicum

In carrying out this program, which should not exceed six years, the
student must enroll for a minimum of 36 semester hours of academic course
work and 18 semester hours of clinical supervision through the Pastoral
Counseling Practicum.

Core Seminars (three credits per semester: ATA463; ATA471; ATA473;
ATA475) are required in the first four semesters of studies. The student
ordinarily enters the pastoral counseling practicum when entering the pro-
gram of studies and continues in the practicum for four consecutive se-
mesters. One of the student's Qualifying Examinations, the Performance
Exam in the practice of pastoral counseling, is taken after the student's four
semesters in the practicum. The clinical setting for supervision is the Pas-
toral Counseling Service of the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care.

Each student admitted to the program shall have one member of the
pastoral counseling faculty as advisor.

Qualifying Examinations

Upon completion of 48 credits with a B average, the student may apply
to take the Comprehensive Examination, which tests the student's com-
petence in both the content and performance of pastoral counseling. The
content areas in which the student will be examined include:

a) Theology, with the foci upon theological method and pastoral the-
ology;

b) Psychology, including theories of personality and development, psy-
chodynamics of behavior and religious experience, and theories of
counseling and psychotherapy;

c) Pastoral care, including the history of pastoral care, ministerial role,
guidance at the passage points of life, ministry in crisis situations,
and referrals;

d) social and cultural studies which pertain to pastoral counseling;

e) an area of the student's choice usually related to the dissertation.
The student will prepare a paper for an oral exam by members of
the pastoral counseling faculty.

21

Dissertation

Following satisfactory performance in the Qualifying Examination, the
student will then engage in an approved research project and write a dis-
sertation.

The dissertation carries 6 credits and completes the 54 credits required
in this program.

Professional Certification

Applicants must hold the Master of Divinity or equivalent degree with
a superior academic record from an accredited institution and must have
had post-seminary professional experience in which significant learning
and professional promise were evident. In addition, applicants must have
significant experience in ministry (approximately three years' full-time em-
ployment after completion of the first theological degree) and in clinical
pastoral education (usually four consecutive units).

The admission process includes:

a) an assessment of applicant's academic grades and professional per-
formance,

b) a statement of purpose,

c) references and other materials supplied with the application,

d) a personal interview with the director of the program, and

e) one or more personal interviews with the pastoral counseling faculty
and appropriate officers of the school to which application is being
made.

The deadline for receipt of all application material is February 15 of the
year for which fall semester admission is requested.

A student who, though otherwise acceptable, has not had courses in
personality development and pastoral care equivalent to those taught in
the participating seminaries of the ATA, must take these courses without
credit during the first year of residence.

Application forms and further general information about the S.T.D. in
Pastoral Counseling program may be obtained from: Director of S.T.D. Pro-
gram, or from the Director of Advanced Studies, Columbia Theological
Seminary, Box 520, Decatur, Georgia 30031-0520.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

Continuing education opportunities for ministers and church profes-
sionals are a vital part of Columbia Seminary. These non-credit events are
essential to spiritual, academic, and professional growth. Several different
types of opportunities are offered:

22

1. Large, established, on-campus events offer a variety of courses, to-
gether with daily chapel services. The major events are the Summer
Session, held the first two full weeks in July, and the January Sem-
inars for Ministers early in January. The Columbia Forum is a third
continuing education event.

2. Throughout the year, small events, centered around one activity
or subject, are held both on and off campus. Examples are a week
spent in work and dialogue at Koinonia and Habitat for Humanity,
contemplative weeks at retreat centers for men and women, a sem-
inar on religion and the arts, and retreat style "conversations" with
outstanding religious leaders in the new continuing education cen-
ter on campus.

3. Overseas travel/study trips are a regular part of the continuing
education program. In 1993 the scheduled trips are a week in Ja-
maica at the United Theological College and a travel/study tour in
Greece and Turkey to visit sites of New Testament history.

4. Individual study is available to ministers who wish to spend time
on the campus, working in the library and consulting with a faculty
member. The Director of Continuing Education will make arrange-
ments for this kind of on-campus directed study.

5. Directed readings on particular subjects provide "at-home" contin-
uing education. A list of subjects is available from the continuing
education office. Once the subject is selected, books will be sent on
that subject from the seminary library. The reading lists are de-
signed by faculty members from Columbia, Union Theological Sem-
inary in Virginia, and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

6. The Accomplishment in Continuing Education program (ACE), a
structured program of continuing education, offers a special certif-
icate marking the completion of 32 hours of continuing education
with readings and papers.

A calendar of events for 1993-94 is available upon request. For more in-
formation on continuing education opportunities, write the Director of Con-
tinuing Education, Columbia Seminary, Box 520, Decatur, GA 30031-0520.

LAY INSTITUTE OF FAITH AND LIFE

Columbia Seminary established the Lay Institute of Faith and Life in
1987 to equip laity for ministry in the church and in the world. The institute
offers a variety of courses, seminars, retreats, and workshops. All are de-
signed to help Christian lay people become better theologians and more
faithful followers of Christ in all of life home, work place, church, com-
munity, world.

Among the ongoing programs at the Lay Institute are Lay Schools of
Bible and Theology offered at the seminary during the fall and winter.
Courses offered include biblical studies, theology, church history, ethics,
and spiritual formation. The institute also offers courses taught in lay

23

schools and other formats to presbyteries and congregations. For more
information about the institute and its programs, write to the Lay Institute
of Faith and Life, Columbia Theological Seminary, Box 520, Decatur, GA

with the Presbyterian Church (USA) Synods of South Atlantic and Living
Waters, serves as liaison to Korean-American churches and their presby-
teries within the bounds of the synods.

The center provides and exchanges both academic and practical theo-
logical education with the churches of the Pacific Rim. The center provides
valuable educational opportunities: continuing education, leadership train-
ing, church school teachers' training, Asian Christian spirituality and evan-
gelism, Asian theologians' seminar, ministry in multicultural contexts, and
a bilingual D.Min. program for Korean-Americans. For more information,
write to the Center for Asian Ministries, Columbia Theological Seminary,
Box 520, Decatur, GA 30031-0520.

THEOLOGY, MEDIA, AND THE CHURCH PROGRAM

Established in 1991, the program encourages creative theological reflec-
tion on the media's role in the church and in society. A number of courses
and seminars are offered which examine the theological and cultural impact
of the media.

In addition, Columbia has added new production facilities which allow
for training in basic production skills. For more information, contact the
Theology, Media, and the Church Program, Columbia Theological Semi-
nary, Box 520, Decatur, GA 30031-0520.

RELATED ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

In addition to Basic and Advanced Degree Studies and the programs
listed above, Columbia Seminary offers a wide variety of academic oppor-
tunities. Some of these are in relationships with other educational institu-
tions; others are special emphases of Columbia.

consortium of institutions of higher education, called the University Center
of Georgia (UCG). The institutions included are Agnes Scott College, At-
lanta College of Art, Atlanta University Center, Columbia Theological Sem-
inary, Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State
University, Kennesaw College, Mercer University Atlanta, Oglethorpe Uni-
versity, Southern Technical Institute, and the University of Georgia.

The areas of cooperation are broad and provide the student with ex-
ceptional opportunities across a spectrum of disciplines from science to art.

CROSS-REGISTRATION AT AREA SCHOOLS

Columbia students may cross-register for courses at schools which be-
long to either the Atlanta Theological Association (Candler School of The-
ology, Erskine Theological Seminary, Lutheran Theological Southern
Seminary, or Interdenominational Theological Center) or the University
Center of Georgia (Agnes Scott College, Atlanta College of Art, Clark At-
lanta University, Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Geor-
gia State University, Institute of Paper Science and Technology,
Interdenominational Theological Center, Kennesaw State College, Mercer
University-Atlanta, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine,
Morris Brown College, Oglethorpe University, Southern College of Tech-
nology, Spelman College, or University of Georgia). Forms for cross regis-
tration are available in the Registrar's office at each school.

Students may cross-register for a course on a space-available basis. A
student may cross-register for a maximum of two courses per term, and
the combined load may not exceed the full-time allowable load on the home
campus. Students register and pay regular tuition and fees to the home
institution.

CROSS-REGISTRATION AT THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (USA)

A policy of reciprocal cross-registration at the 11 theological institutions
of the Presbyterian Church (USA) is designed to strengthen the theological
education of persons preparing for ministry in the denomination. This pol-
icy permits Presbyterian students registered in master's degree programs

25

to take courses at any of the other institutions without payment of addi-
tional tuition. Tuition for a course is charged at the home school.

Additional information is available in the Registrar's Office.

CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION

Clinical pastoral education is a first-hand learning experience under
certified supervision which provides theological students and pastors with
opportunities for intensive study of pastoral relationships and which seeks
to make clear in understanding and practice the resources, methods, and
meanings of the Christian faith as expressed through pastoral care. Colum-
bia's membership in the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education means
that its students will be given priority of choice in institutions elected,
especially those listed within the Southeast.

APPALACHIAN MINISTRIES EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER

Columbia Seminary is a member of AMERC, which provides specialized
training for students interested in ministry in the Appalachian Church and
other missional settings, with particular attention to small town and rural
congregations. Through its educational programs summer courses and a
January travel seminar AMERC provides students with opportunities to
learn about the Appalachian region, its people and history, its culture and
religion, and its needs and issues for ministry. Students study models for
ministry currently in use and those expected to be more effective in the
future. During the summer course, in addition to the concentrated aca-
demic program, students are assigned to field placement sites as partici-
pant-observers.

Information about AMERC programs is available through the Office of
Supervised Ministry.

THE MIDEAST SEMINAR

A summer travel seminar is sponsored jointly by Columbia Theological
Seminary, Candler School of Theology at Emory University, and Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, consisting of a three-week
study trip to Israel, Jordan, and Greece. The program, subsidized by a
private foundation, is directed by Dr. Max Miller, Professor of Old Testa-
ment Studies at Candler. It is limited to 20 participants five students from
each of the schools plus five lay persons selected from positions of lead-
ership in the Southeast.

The program has two purposes: to provide an in-depth study tour of
the area which stands at the center of our Biblical heritage and which plays
such a crucial role in current international affairs; to provide a situation in
which the leaders of tomorrow's church can get to know each other today
and develop close bonds of understanding and friendship. At the same
time there is opportunity for extended interchange between the students

26

preparing for professional careers in the church and lay persons who are
already playing key roles in business and community affairs. Professor
David Moessner is Columbia's representative for the program.

NATIONAL CAPITAL SEMESTER FOR SEMINARIANS

Columbia Seminary is a participating institution in the National Capital
Semester for Seminarians, organized by Wesley Theological Seminary,
Washington, DC. The program provides an opportunity for seminary stu-
dents to spend a semester in Washington for study and involvement in the
processes of government and the concerns of the churches. The design
includes an interaction/reflection seminar, supervised study, and the op-
portunity to elect other courses in Washington institutions. For information,
see the Dean of Faculty.

URBAN TRAINING ORGANIZATION OF ATLANTA

UTOA participates in the theological education of students from Colum-
bia Seminary and other Atlanta seminaries by providing opportunities for

cies, and congregations involved in social ministry in Atlanta. Urban clin-
icals, including field experiences and peer reflection groups, are available
for academic credit. UTOA is also significantly involved with M.Div. stu-
dents in the Alternative Context for Ministry course for those in the Atlanta
placement.

For more information, contact the Office of Supervised Ministry.

SPECIAL EMPHASES

INTERNATIONAL THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION

Columbia Seminary is committed to the task of preparing students for
ministry in a world that is shrinking rapidly and where preoccupation with
parochial concerns is no longer an option. A varied program of interna-
tional education has emerged from serious, cross-cultural dialogue with
church leaders in other parts of the world in particular, the Caribbean.
During the 1992-93 academic year, over 65 percent of the second year
M.Div. students participated in one of Columbia's international programs.
These include:

an international component for the second year course, "Al-
ternative Context For Ministry." Students may choose to take
this course in an international setting. During the 1993 aca-
demic year four different international alternative contexts for
ministry were offered: Central America, the Caribbean (Ja-
maica), Eastern Europe (Hungary), and China.

a three-week Mideast Seminar.

27

supervised ministry placements for Columbia students in Car-
ibbean churches under the supervision of experienced Carib-
bean pastors.

Columbia students studying or working in England, Germany,
Jamaica, Kenya, Korea, Scotland, and Switzerland.

a joint Doctor of Ministry program with the United Theological
College of the West Indies. Many of the classes are held in
Kingston, Jamaica.

international students, faculty, and pastors from four conti-
nents working and studying on the Columbia campus.

a week-long continuing education event in the spring for pas-
tors, held on the campus of the United Theological College of
the West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica.

a three-week seminar held each year on the Columbia campus
for Korean pastors. This seminar is sponsored jointly by Co-
lumbia, the Presbyterian Church of Korea, and the Division of
International Missions, Presbyterian Church (USA).

a new program on the church in China, that sends students,
faculty, and board members to China for three week immersion
experiences, brings Chinese church leaders to Columbia, and
organizes international conferences on the church in China.

Some of these programs are part of a program co-ordinated by the
Atlanta Theological Association. Others reflect cooperative efforts with the
Presbyterian Church (USA), or with an overseas denomination or theolog-
ical institution.

For further information, write to the Director of International Theolog-
ical Education, Columbia Theological Seminary, Box 520, Decatur, GA
30031-0520.

EVANGELISM EMPHASIS

In 1981, Columbia Seminary initiated a program in evangelism. Through
the seminary, courses are offered to M.Div., M.A.T.S., and graduate stu-
dents. The director of the program provides consultation for local congre-
gations, presbyteries, and other governing bodies.

Each year Columbia sponsors a School of Evangelism during the first
week of summer school. Information on the School is available by February
1st.

Through the program on evangelism, new initiatives have been devel-
oped for local congregations, including emphases on training, visitation,
congregational renewal, and pastoral spirituality.

28

The Thompson Scholar Program, a part of the evangelism program,
brings to the campus 15-20 key pastors from across the denomination each
year. The purpose is to train leaders for the future. Interested persons
should write the director for further information.

Through the agency of CTS Press, numerous programs, resources, and
books are produced to assist in the work of evangelism. For information,
contact the CTS Press, Box 520, Decatur, GA 30031.

CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALITY EMPHASIS

Although the study of Christian spirituality is not new at Columbia,
there is a new emphasis and a broader involvement in the field. Christian
spirituality investigates the relationship with God how it is initiated, af-
firmed, and nurtured. It asks hard, ethical questions about this relationship
for our daily lives and witness in a changing world.

The past decade has witnessed a growing interest in Christian spiritu-
ality. To respond to this concern, Columbia offers a special certificate pro-
gram geared for laity. Classes are conducted on the Columbia campus and
by special arrangement in local settings.

One of the unique features of Columbia's Doctor of Ministry degree is
its flexibility, which allows it to be shaped according to the student's in-
terest in the area of spirituality. By shaping the degree in this fashion, the
student can explore the relation between spirituality, ministerial identity,
and the church's life and mission.

This program for clergy and laity offers opportunities for personal spir-
itual growth, the development of skills in leading retreats, workshops,
schools of prayer, and a setting for rethinking ministry.

Questions should be directed to the Office of Evangelism and Church
Growth, Columbia Theological Seminary, Box 520, Decatur, GA 30031-0520.

THE COLUMBIA FORUM

Each year, during the last week of January, Columbia sponsors a three-
day forum built around a guest preacher and two significant lectureships,
the Smyth Lectureship and the Alumni/ae Lectureship. The activities in-
clude, in addition to worship services and lectures, a variety of formal and
informal occasions with the leaders. Special events for alumni/ae are also
planned during this week.

The Smyth Lectures were begun through a bequest of the Rev. Thomas
Smyth, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston, SC, from
1831 to 1873. Since 1911 distinguished scholars from the United States and
abroad have presented lectures on a variety of themes and issues. Recent
Smyth Lecturers have been Dr. J. Christiaan Beker, Dr. Peter J. Paris, and
Dr. Brian A. Wren.

29

Recent Alumni/ae Lecturers have been Dr. Douglas J. Hall, Dr. Letty
Russell, and Dr. Maria Harris.

Recent preachers have been Dr. William Willimon and Dr. John R. Clay-
pool.

For further information, write to the Director of Development/Seminary
Relations, Columbia Theological Seminary, Box 520, Decatur, GA 30031-
0520.

SUPPORT FACILITIES

THE JOHN BULOW CAMPBELL LIBRARY

At the heart of the educative effort of the seminary is the library. Named
for John Bulow Campbell, an Atlanta benefactor and member of Columbia's
Board of Directors during the 1930s, the library is an integral part of the
teaching program. It seeks to extend the work of the classroom in breadth
and depth, to provide for student and faculty research, and to encourage
reading beyond course requirements.

The collection includes books, periodicals, church records, videotapes,
cassettes, and microfilms. It is a well-balanced selection of older and more
modern works and is particularly strong in Biblical studies, Biblical archae-
ology, patristics, the Reformation, pastoral counseling, and Presbyterianism.
Reformation sources include the Calvin and Melanchthon sections of the
Corpus Reformatorum and the Weimer edition of Luther. This specialized
collection, together with the Atlantic Theological Association and the Uni-
versity Center libraries, together with the ATA theological libraries and the
UCG general collections, provides an outstanding resource for Columbia
students.

The computer center is located in the basement of the library. Word
processing facilities are open to all students and staff who are authorized
users.

SEMINARY ARCHIVES

The seminary archives, housed in the library, focus on the history and
development of Columbia Seminary and are the place of record for all
seminary publications.

THE COLUMBIA BOOKSTORE

The seminary bookstore, located in the Richards Center, provides books,
materials, and supplies at a discount for basic degrees students to begin
collecting for their own theological libraries and for persons working to-
ward advanced degrees to continue that process. The bookstore also serves

30

pastors, laypersons, and churches all over the Southeast. Its inventory in-
cludes a wide selection of standard and current books in the historical-
doctrinal area, the pastoral area, and in Bible and homiletics, including
many commentaries on the Old and New Testaments. Greater discounts
are offered during special sales. The bookstore is ordinarily open from 10:30
to 2:30, Monday through Friday, with special hours during campus events.

CURRICULUM AND
COURSES

The teaching program at Columbia is arranged in four areas: Biblical,
historical-doctrinal, practical theology, and supervised ministry. Interdis-
ciplinary courses, which combine studies in two or more of these areas, are
also taught in the basic degree programs. While classroom instruction is
foundational to these basic degree programs, their goal is to equip students
to continue their education independently. The resources of the library,
the structure of course work, and independent study courses encourage
early realization of that goal.

BIBLICAL area studies seek to help the students understand and inter-
pret an ancient book, the Bible, in a modern world. To do this, these studies
are concerned with developing tools and skills to understand the ancient
world, its language, history, and thought, and tools and skills to grasp the
meaning of the Bible for contemporary people. Greek and Hebrew are
required so that students can gain facility in handling the original Biblical
languages and in understanding the text in its native tongue. Courses in
the area provide an opportunity for interpreting the text and for experience
in articulating the message in a theological fashion.

HISTORICAL-DOCTRINAL studies help students understand the past
as a means of comprehending the present. Students engaged in these stud-
ies also struggle to form their own theology and to discover what it means
to be Christian in today's world. Since Columbia stands within the Re-
formed tradition, historical-doctrinal studies are concerned not only with
right thinking, but also with the relation of Christian faith and doctrine to
all the arenas of life. Therefore, studies in this area engage students in
consideration of the social, political, economic, and cultural life of today in
the United States and across the world. In historical-doctrinal studies stu-
dents acquire the tools they will need throughout their lives for dealing
theologically with themselves and the world around them, tools that will
enable graduates to lead the church in a prophetic and reconciling way as
it works out its mission in the world.

The PRACTICAL THEOLOGY area centers on the functioning of the
theologian as a minister, and its concern is to train students to be ministers
and to lead other persons in ministering. Studies in this area consider the
dynamics of the minister's role as pastor, evangelist, leader of worship,
preacher, teacher, and administrator. Since the shape of the ministry of
tomorrow is not fully known, the concern of these studies is to train stu-
dents to understand the issues involved, to help them see their own
strengths and weaknesses, and then to develop a flexibility that will enable
them to take their Biblical and theological understanding and deal with
whatever issues they face during their ministry.

SUPERVISED MINISTRY serves an integrative function for the curric-
ulum. Through its structure students are involved in the actual practice of
ministry under competent supervision. Through experiential, relational,
and inductive learning, students explore within a peer group the forms,
styles, contents, and concepts of ministry. Not only do the students put
into practice what has been learned through studies in the Biblical, histor-
ical-doctrinal/and pastoral areas, but these studies are integrated with the
practice of ministry and the personhood of each student.

Columbia's faculty recognizes that the method of teaching also makes
a significant contribution to learning. Consequently, a variety of teaching
methods is employed. Team teaching, which enables the professors them-
selves to participate more fully in the learning process and effectively brings
different kinds of competence together in the classroom, is widely used.
Because small groups are a part of most courses, creative interchange
among students and with professors is the mark of instruction at Columbia.
Field trips, simulations, seminars and use of audio-visuals (especially video)
are also examples of a wide variety of teaching methods.

The faculty reserves the right to modify individual course requirements
within a degree program. Such changes will be effective the next time such
courses are offered or at a later date as determined by the faculty. Degree
programs and their major requirements will remain unchanged for students
entering that program, but changes may be made at any time to be effective
for all entering students in the next academic year.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

Listed on the following pages are the courses taught by the faculty of
Columbia Theological Seminary. Changes in faculty situations and in stu-
dent needs inevitably will necessitate modification from term to term re-
sulting in the failure to offer some electives and the substitution of others.

The faculty is planning to introduce a new curriculum in the fall se-
mester of 1994, and some adjustments to the courses may be necessary.

The letter in the course designation is determined by the area in which
it is offered: B for Biblical; HD for Historical-Doctrinal; P for Practical The-
ology; I for Interdisciplinary; and SM for Supervised Ministry. Courses
whose numbers are prefaced by ATA are offered by the Atlanta Theological
Association. The hundred's digit refers to the level of the course and
whether it is required for the basic degree program or elective:

100s are required courses for A component students.

200s are required courses for B component students.

300s are required courses for C component students.

500s are elective courses designed primarily for A and B component
students but open to advanced students by permission of the instruc-
tor.

34

600s are elective courses designed for advanced students (C component
and graduate students) but open to others when prerequisites have
been met, space is available, and permission has been given by the
instructor.

700s are off-campus electives at advanced level.

800s are honors courses.

The middle digit of a course number identifies the particular academic
discipline within the area, except in Interdisciplinary and Supervised
Ministry courses.

ACADEMIC NOTES

YEARLY SCHEDULE

The academic year is composed of two long semesters of 14 weeks each
and a short January term. During the summer the seminary offers a full
program of supervised ministry, independent study under the guidance of
a member of the faculty, an eight-week course in beginning Greek, and a
four-week summer session designed primarily for D.Min. students and min-
isters interested in continuing education. The sequential nature of the cur-
riculum for M.Div. degree students makes it preferable that they begin their
work with the summer course in beginning Greek (or with the fall term if
they have already mastered basic Greek grammar).

COMMUNITY WORSHIP

The seminary community gathers for worship each day of regular
classes to express its thanksgiving for and need of God's grace and to pray
for the church and the world. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper is cel-
ebrated each Friday.

WEDNESDAY FORUMS

Included in worship each Wednesday is a forum which leads the Co-
lumbia community into consideration of significant issues for the church
in the world, or exposes it to persons from other denominations and parts
of the earth, or directs it in spiritual formation. A majority of the forums
are designed and led by student organizations.

ORIENTATION

An orientation program which is required of all entering students is
held during the days preceding the regular opening of the seminary in the
fall. It offers an opportunity for new students to get acquainted with one
another and with student body leaders and members of the faculty. Tests
are administered to help new and transfer students identify and under-
stand particular strengths and deficiencies of preparation for theological
instruction.

Returning students are also required to participate in the orientation
days, which include activities such as a debriefing of the summer super-
vised ministry or intern program, a discussion of procedures for receiving
a call from a congregation, and consultation with faculty advisors.

SUMMER GREEK SCHOOL

Entering students in the M.Div. degree program are encouraged to have
a reading knowledge of New Testament Greek. For those students who are
not prepared in Greek, the seminary offers a six credit course, B021, during

70

the summer. The course runs for an eight-week period and meets daily,
usually each morning, Monday through Friday, for two hours, with small
group afternoon tutorial sessions. Students who have successfully com-
pleted two years of Greek in college or who pass a Greek qualifying ex-
amination are exempt from B021.

FLEXIBILITY BY ADVANCED PLACEMENT AND SPECIAL STUDIES

Students who have strong backgrounds in particular fields of the cur-
riculum, or who demonstrate unusual proficiency in their work are given
opportunities for special placement or for independent work. Requests for
flexibility in a student's program should be made to the Dean of Faculty.
Two opportunities for flexibility are available.

1. Students may be permitted advanced placement in the A and B
components if they can satisfactorily demonstrate that they have already
achieved the objectives of a given course. This means that they may be
exempt from the course and permitted to take an advanced course in the
area.

2. Academically qualified students may be permitted to engage in spe-
cial study as a route to the establishment of competence in a required course
rather than taking one or several required courses.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Students are encouraged to design and pursue their own program of
independent research and study as a part of the elective offerings. Con-
tracts for reading courses and research projects may be drawn up with
faculty members teaching in the area of the student's interest. The nature
and extent of the work projected and completed determine the amount of
credit given. Such courses provide students the opportunity to investigate
areas of specialized interest in which no regular electives are offered.

HONORS PROGRAM

Students in the Master of Divinity degree program who enter the C
component with a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 and a 3.6 average
in the proposed area of study may enter the Honors Program. Waiver of
these requirements is by vote of the entire faculty in the proposed area of
study. Students choose to work in the Biblical, historical-doctrinal or prac-
tical theology areas and with a particular professor. The program consists
of guided study in both long semesters for a total of 8 credits. For additional
information, see the chairperson of the area of interest.

CREDIT VALUATION AND COURSE LOAD

While the educational progress of the student cannot be ultimately
measured by the number of credits earned, a system of course valuation is
necessary to assure balance in the curriculum. Columbia estimates a se-
mester credit as approximately 42 to 45 working hours, except for certain

71

supervised ministry and clinical programs whose work investment is de-
termined by the contract for the particular course. The satisfactory com-
pletion of a course, however, is determined not by time invested but goals
and objectives achieved.

With the exception of their initial term, students are required to consult
with their faculty advisors before registering for courses. The standard
number of credits students in basic degree programs may take in the 14-
week terms is 16. A student with at least a B average may take up to 17
credits. In the January term students may register for no more than three
credits unless taking HD241.

The M.Div. degree normally requires three full academic years in resi-
dence, plus a summer term for SM210. The Master of Arts in Theological
Studies usually requires two full academic years. Advanced degrees involve
the student in part-time study for a minimum of two years.

GRADING

At the close of each term grades are given to basic degree students
according to the following four quality points system. A grade report is
sent to each student and denominational supervisor, if applicable. For A
through D component students, special, Master of Arts in Theological Stud-
ies, unclassified and occasional students, the criteria for grading are crea-
tivity, mastery of material, skill in organizing and expressing ideas, and the
ability to relate to other learnings. The grading system is:

A

4.0

Outstanding

A-

3.7

Superior

B +

3.3

Very Good

B

3.0

Good

B-

2.7

Slightly above standard

C +

2.3

Standard

c

2.0

Slightly below standard

c-

1.7

D

1.0

Serious deficiencies

F

0.0

Unacceptable

An E is given when a portion of the course requirements such as a
major paper, an examination or a project is unacceptable to the instruc-
tor. Unless such work is completed in acceptable form within the time
extension, the E becomes a final grade of F. An F is given when the total
work of the course is unacceptable or when work is not completed within
the term or within an approved extension.

C component students may choose to take up to six elective credits for
H/S/U, with the permission of the instructor, if permission is granted at the
beginning of the term.

H honors, for work of exceptionally distinguished quality.

72

S satisfactory, for work which represents sufficient mas-

tery of the content of the course to merit recommen-
dation for graduation.
U unsatisfactory, for work which represents insufficient

mastery of the content of the course to merit recom-
mendation for graduation.
For Th.M, S.T.D., and D.Min. students:
A 4.0 excellent

B 3.0 good

C 2.0 passing

F 0.0 failure

PROBATION

An entering student may be placed on probation due to deficiencies in
the student's undergraduate preparation. In addition, any student who fails
to make a 2.5 average in any term or whose cumulative grade point average
falls below 2.3 will be placed on academic probation for the next term.

UNACCEPTABLE WORK

A U may be remedied by further work in the course, by repeating the
course, or by taking an elective course relating to the area of deficiency. A
U given for unexcused late work shall normally require additional work.
A student whose work is unsatisfactory will be placed on probation. If the
U is not removed by the next term, the student will be dropped from school.

APPEALS

Appeal of a grade given for work in a course or for the entire course
may be made: first, with the instructor; second, with the Dean of Faculty;
third, as a last appeal, by a written statement sent through the Dean of
Faculty to the faculty.

Appeal of probation may be made to the Judicial Commission of the
faculty through the Dean of Faculty.

Appeal of suspension or dismissal from the seminary may be made to
the Board of Directors by giving written notice to the president of the
seminary.

TEMPORARY GRADES

Two temporary notations may be given in certain cases. "In Progress"
(IP) is used for courses which last more than one term. "Incomplete" (Inc.)
is used for late work when a written excuse has been approved by the
professor and the Dean of Faculty. Further provisions for the "Incomplete"
can be found in the Student Handbook. Neither temporary notation carries
credit.

73

STUDENT HANDBOOK

Additional information for basic degree students will be found in the
Student Handbook.

ORDINATION EXAMS

Students who become candidates for ordination in the Presbyterian
Church (USA) are required to take written examinations in the areas of
Bible, theology, worship and sacraments, and polity. There is ample op-
portunity within the regular seminary curriculum to take course work
preparatory to the exams.

SENIOR WORSHIP

Students in the C component are required to lead worship for the com-
munity. The experience may be videotaped and reviewed with a member
of the homiletics faculty.

GRADUATION WITH HONORS

Basic degrees students who have earned at least a 3.60 grade point
average on course work will, with the approval of the faculty, be awarded
the degree "with distinction."

74

AWARDS AND
SCHOLARSHIPS

AWARDS AND PRIZES

Through the gifts of alumni and friends of the seminary, several prizes
and awards have been established to recognize outstanding academic
achievements by basic degree students.

The Wilds Book Prize was established by Louis T. Wilds of Columbia,
South Carolina, in 1917. In 1992, an addition to the fund was made by Mary
Scott Wilds Hill, Annie Edmunds Wilds McLeod, and Murphy Candler
Wilds in memory of their parents, Laura Candler Wilds and Louis T. Wilds,
Jr. '11. The fund provides a cash award to the graduating M.Div. student
selected by the faculty for the highest distinction in his or her academic
work over the entire seminary program.

David Boyce, an alumnus of the seminary, in honor of his mother, a de-
voted music teacher, choir director, church musician and minister's wife. It
is awarded to the student writing the best paper on the creative use of
music in worship.

Two Abdullah Awards are available each year by the Rev. Gabriel Ab-
dullah, an alumnus of the seminary. One is given for the best paper setting
forth a plan for the teaching of Bible in the public schools; the second for
the best paper designing a program for the development of moral and
spiritual values in the public schools.

president, selects the recipient of this award.

The Columbia Leadership Award, approved by the faculty in 1992, is given
to a graduating senior who shows promise of providing outstanding lead-
ership to the church. The recipient will have demonstrated unusual lead-
ership qualities at Columbia, as well as spiritual depth and integrity.

COLUMBIA SCHOLARSHIPS

Qualified men and women planning to attend seminary or seeking to
explore the possibility of entering the ministry may apply for a Columbia
Scholarship for study at Columbia Theological Seminary. These one-year
scholarships are for persons in the M.Div. program who have exhibited
significant academic and leadership abilities during their undergraduate
studies and in community involvements and church commitments.

The Admissions Committee may award up to eight Columbia Scholar-
ships for each academic year. The scholarship covers tuition, room and
board at the single-student rate, assuming that the recipient lives on cam-
pus. The award for a student choosing to live off-campus will be reduced
by $1,000.

Columbia Scholarship recipients who show financial need over and
above the Columbia Scholarships award may be granted financial aid up
to $2,500. Such financial aid will include a service scholarship.

76

To be eligible for a Columbia Scholarship, applicants must be citizens
of the United States or Canada. A scholarship application and a personal
interview are required. All recipients are required to enroll full-time for
one academic year at the seminary.

Application for a Columbia Scholarship is made through the Office of
Admissions at Columbia Seminary. Applications must be received no later
than March 15. Announcement of the awards will normally be made by
mid-April.

All those applying for a Columbia Scholarship will automatically be
considered for regular admission and financial aid if they are not awarded
a scholarship.

HONOR SCHOLARSHIPS

A number of Honor Scholarships have been established at Columbia
Theological Seminary for full-time M.Div. students. Some are awarded an-
nually by the Admissions Committee to entering students on the basis of
their academic achievement, leadership in the church and on campus, and
demonstration of exceptional promise for the ordained ministry.

Additional Honor Scholarships are awarded each spring to returning
M.Div. students on the basis of academic performance. They are selected
by the Basic Degrees Committee.

Honor Scholarships may be used only for tuition at the seminary. Re-
cipients who show need over and above the Honor Scholarship award
(which may cover tuition for up to nine months) may be granted financial
aid. Such financial aid will include a service scholarship. The Honor Schol-
arships are: the Rev. Vernon S. Broyles, Jr., Scholarship; the Rev. George
Henry Cornelson Scholarship; the Rev. Harry Keller Holland Scholarship;
the J. Erskine Love, Jr. Merit Scholarship; the Rev. John L. Newton Schol-
arship; the Smith-Thompson Scholarship; and the J. M. Tull Scholarship.

COLUMBIA FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE SCHOLARSHIPS

A number of scholarships are funded annually by the Columbia Friend-
ship Circle. These scholarships are awarded to M.Div. degree students by
the Basic Degrees Committee upon nomination by the President and Dean
of Students with consultation from the Development Office. In 1993-94 each
grant will be for $4,400.

The following criteria will be used in making nominations:

a. The student will be a second or third year student (fourth year if
the student has been involved in a year-long internship).

b. The student will have demonstrated both a strong commitment
to God's call and diligence in studies at Columbia Seminary.

c. The student will be a parent with family responsibilities.

d. The student will have demonstrated financial need.

77

Recipients who show need over and above the Columbia Friendship
Circle Scholarship may be eligible for additional financial aid. Such financial
aid will include a service scholarship.

GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS

The Seminary awards each year one or more fellowships to outstanding
graduates completing the M.Div. degree. The purpose of these fellowships
is to recognize superior intellectual achievement demonstrated during the
course of the regular seminary program and to provide a modest support
for graduate work beyond the first professional degree. They must be used
toward an accredited master's degree or doctoral graduate degree program
in which the recipient engages in the scholarly pursuit of an academic
theological discipline.

The Fannie Jordan Bryan Fellowships were established through a generous
legacy left to Columbia Theological Seminary by the late Mrs. Fannie Jordan
Bryan of Columbia, South Carolina. The Columbia Graduate Fellowships were
initiated by the senior Class of 1941 and continue to be funded through
the operating expense budget of the seminary. The Anna Church Whitner
Memorial Fellowships are given periodically from a legacy left to the semi-
nary in 1928 by the late William C. Whitner, of Rock Hill, SC, in memory
of his mother.

A new graduate fellowship was established during 1983 by the Rever-
end and Mrs. Harvard A. Anderson of Orlando, FL. This fellowship is
awarded to the graduate determined by the faculty to have the greatest
potential for future academic achievement.

78

STUDENT INFORMATION

HOUSING

Seminary housing is ordinarily reserved for basic degree students. Appli-
cation for seminary housing should be made as early as possible following
acceptance. All inquiries about housing should be directed to the Business
Office.

Unmarried Students

Dormitory housing is available for unmarried students. Most of the rooms
are for single occupancy; many of them have connecting baths. All rooms are
fully furnished with the exception of linens. Laundry facilities are provided.
Students who live in dormitory rooms participate in the standard board plan.

Unmarried students also have access to the suites and efficiency units
mentioned below.

Married Students Without Children

Suites of two rooms with private bath are available for married students
without children. These suites are ordinarily fully furnished with the ex-
ception of linens. However, a limited number are unfurnished. Laundry
facilities are provided. Students who live in suites participate in the stand-
ard board plan. The standard board plan or a modified board plan is avail-
able for spouses.

In addition, the seminary has a limited number of efficiency units which
include cooking facilities. Students in these units need not participate in
the standard board plan.

Students With Children

One, two, and three bedroom unfurnished apartments are available to
students with children. The rent for these apartments is below market rates
and varies depending on the size of apartment.

FINANCIAL AID

Columbia Seminary grants financial aid to basic degree students who
are taking 11 credit hours or more during each long semester and 3 credit
hours during the winter term, and to a limited number of advanced degree
students. Eligibility is based upon need as determined by the seminary's
financial aid program.

Students applying for financial aid complete a Columbia Seminary fi-
nancial aid application that provides an estimate of their income and ex-
penses and a Graduate and Professional School Financial Aid Service

79

(GAPSFAS) form. The difference between a student's income and the es-
tablished expense norms constitutes the determined financial need of the
student. After financial need is calculated, financial aid is awarded in the
form of, first of all, a service scholarship, and a grant-in-aid.

Financial aid is credited to a student's account in the Business Office
and is awarded on a prorated basis as follows: 44 percent fall semester; 12
percent winter term; 44 percent spring semester. Financial aid is first ap-
plied against seminary charges for tuition, rent, board, and fees. Students
who withdraw from the seminary or become part-time students during a
term forfeit their right to financial aid for the term in which such action is
taken.

Entering students must submit the seminary's financial aid form and
the GASPFAS form by July 30. Students entering the seminary in the winter
term or the spring semester must submit applications for financial aid
within the first week of the term. Entering students should submit appli-
cations as soon as possible since awards are made as applications are re-
ceived and are contingent upon the availability of funds.

Returning students are required to complete the GAPSFAS form by
April 23 and the seminary's financial aid application by April 30.

Persons interested in more detailed information about the financial as-
sistance offered by Columbia Seminary should contact the Office of Finan-
cial Aid.

FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN PROGRAM

The Federal Stafford Loan (formerly Guaranteed Student Loan) Pro-
gram is made available under the Higher Education Act of 1965 and reg-
ulated through federal and state agencies of Departments of Education so
as to comply with subsequent amendments governing Title IV monies. This
program is designed to provide loans to students enrolled in education
beyond high school. Institutions such as Columbia Seminary assist students
with the application process by determining the student's eligibility and
need for the loan and by certifying the student's satisfactory participation
in the course of education for which the monies are borrowed. The loans
to students are made primarily by commercial lending institutions. The
Stafford Loan Program provides preferable interest rates and delays repay-
ment of loan until after the student graduates or terminates from the course
of studies. An eligible student enrolled at Columbia may seek a loan within
the state of Georgia or from a lending institution within his/her legal state
of residence. Information pertaining to application procedures and policy
regulations for a Stafford Loan at Columbia may be obtained from the
Office of Admissions and Financial Aid.

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION BENEFITS

Certification for V.A. benfits is handled through the Office of Student
Life.

80

HOSPITALIZATION INSURANCE

Each student is required to have some form of hospitalization insurance
acceptable to the seminary. Students may purchase group insurance which
is offered to the student body, or they may purchase insurance through
other sources. Presbyterian students who are inquirers or candidates of
their presbyteries' Committees on Preparation for Ministry are eligible to
participate in the major medical plan of the Board of Pensions of the
PC(USA).

PAYMENT OF FEES

Degree candidates must pay charges for tuition, fees, room, and board
or make satisfactory arrangement for the payment thereof with the Busi-
ness Office by the deadline set at the beginning of each term in order to
remain in class.

Non-degree students must pay tuition charges in full prior to the end
of the first full week of classes in order to remain in class.

All fees and charges listed are subject to change.
REFUND POLICY

Tuition

1. A student who has paid tuition fees in advance and decides not to
attend a semester or term is entitled to a 100 percent refund if a written
request is received by Columbia by the end of the first week of the
term. After that date, no refund is due, but an amount may be given
upon the initiative of Columbia.

2. A student dropping a course during the "course addition" period (the
first week of a long semester and the first two days of a winter or
summer term) is entitled to a full tuition refund.

3. A student dropping a course during the "course drop" period (the first
six weeks of a long semester and the first week of a short winter or
summer term) is entitled to a one-third refund of the tuition involved.

4. A student allowed to withdraw from a course or a student leaving
school for any reason without formal "dropping" or approved with-
drawal is not entitled to any refund.

Written requests for refunds should be made to the Registrar, Room 113,
Campbell Hall and received before the deadlines stated above.

Room

A student who has entered into a lease agreement for a seminary hous-
ing unit for a term or semester is responsible for payment in full unless a
written request is made to the Vice President for Business and Finance,
Room 106, Campbell Hall at least one week before the first day of classes.
In that case, a 100 percent refund will be made. In other cases a refund
amount may be given upon the initiative of Columbia.

83

Board

A student who has applied for board and has a sufficient reason for
withdrawing from board status will be granted a full refund if a written
request is made to the Vice President for Business and Finance, Room 106,
Campbell Hall at least one week before the first day of classes.

Financial Assistance

A student who withdraws from the seminary or becomes a part-time
student forfeits any financial assistance (scholarships and financial aid) pre-
viously awarded for the term in which such action occurs.

84

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
AND ACTIVITIES

Student Coordinating Council

The Student Coordinating Council was established to initiate discussion
and decisions within the student body, to respond to the needs of the
student community, and to coordinate student and community activities.
It represents the interests of the entire seminary community, i.e., students
on and off campus, international students, and families of students.

Society for Missionary Inquiry

This society was founded in 1832 and has been an instrument through
the years to promote an active interest in missions among the students and
throughout the church. The society brings outstanding speakers before the
student body. Another work of this group is in providing hospitality for
international students and visitors on the Columbia campus. Through the
work of the society a number of students have responded to the challenge
of international missions.

Fellowship for Theological Dialogue

This society was established for the purpose of encouraging every stu-
dent to the highest possible scholarship. Membership is open to all students
and faculty on a voluntary basis. Lectures, informal discussions with vis-
iting lecturers, symposia by member of the faculty, and other meetings are
sponsored in the interest of theological scholarship.

Peace Source

The Peace Source is a campus organization concerned with issues of
peace, justice, and freedom. It explores these concerns through study and
involvement within the community and world.

Women's Issues in Ministry

This organization offers support for women students as well as oppor-
tunities for dialogue about issues which are of particular concern for
women in ministry. Activities include annual retreats, sponsorship of a
women's caucus during the Columbia Forum, and opportunities to attend
conferences and workshops which focus on women's issues for ministry.

Spouses of Seminarians

This is an organization primarily for the spouses of regularly enrolled
students. Spouses of students, spouses of faculty and staff, and other in-
vited persons meet together for study and for the sharing of mutual con-
cerns and interests. The Spouses of Seminarians also sponsor a number of
events for the entire Columbia community.

85

Student Athletic Program

Athletic activities are available and open to all students and their fam-
ilies. These activities include volleyball, football, basketball, soccer, softball,
tennis, ping pong, and golf.

Student Supply Preaching

Columbia Seminary works with local congregations in making arrange-
ments for student supply preaching. Students are generally assigned on a
rotating basis to churches that have requested supply ministers.

86

SUPPORT OF COLUMBIA
SEMINARY

The mission of Columbia Theological Seminary is to prepare good min-
isters of Jesus Christ to proclaim the Gospel and to serve the Church, the
community, and the world. The seminary is also committed to the mission
of nurturing those already ordained through continuing education and
serving as a resource center for the entire Church.

In recent years, student tuition and fees provide for about 24 percent
of the seminary's budget, while an additional 7 percent comes from indi-
vidual gifts. A growing endowment provides approximately 50 percent of
the annual budget. Four percent of the current operating budget comes
from benevolence monies provided by the Presbyterian Church (USA). The
balance of the budget comes from miscellaneous sources.

Columbia Seminary's supporting synods have historically stated and
repeatedly affirmed their intentions to be responsible for the support of
the seminary. Columbia is indebted to the synods for their endorsement
and assistance in increasing the seminary's endowment through capital
fund drives.

One of the best ways a person can invest in the vital ministry of Co-
lumbia Seminary is by contributing to the annual fund or by establishing
a permanently endowed scholarship or memorial fund.

ALUMNI/AE ASSOCIATION

Columbia's alumni/ae hold their annual meeting on the seminary cam-
pus during the Columbia Forum in January. Stimulating presentations on
ministry are offered, classes hold yearly reunions, the Alumni/ae Council
and officers are elected, and distinguished graduates and retiring professors
are honored.

COLUMBIA FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE

Columbia Friendship Circle (CFC) is an association of thousands of Pres-
byterian women throughout the PC(USA) who assist the seminary in three
ways: by praying for the seminary and telling its story in their local areas;
by encouraging young men and women to consider the ministry and Co-
lumbia Seminary; and by providing financial assistance to the seminary
each year for support of particular projects. During the past several years
CFC has raised over $30,000 each year to support students and their families
with special financial needs.
