WELCOME TO COLUMBIA SEMINARY

vv Tell me about Columbia!" We often hear and respond to that question.
To be honest, it isn't easy to do in words. The best way to know the answer
is to spend time with students, faculty and graduates.

We do hope, however, that something of the quality of life and commit-
ment here at Columbia is reflected in this catalogue. We have a serious and
realistic commitment to excellence in theological education. The mission of the
work of Columbia is clear: to prepare good ministers of jesus Christ, to nur-
ture through lifelong learning those already serving, and to be a theological
resource center for the Church.

These are challenging and exciting days for the Seminary. With an excellent
faculty, a large enrollment, and a challenging curriculum, we look toward the
decade of the 80's with hope and expectancy.

Columbia Seminary serves in the faith that we go forward in the strength
of God.

Let us know what questions or suggestions you may have for Columbia
Seminary.

COLUMBIA SEMINARY - The History

Columbia refers to the first permanent location of the seminary in Colum-
bia, 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 mem-
bers 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 competition
with the College of South Carolina.) The official name of the seminary became
The Theological Seminary of the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia; it soon
became known as Columbia Theological Seminary - a name which was ac-
cepted as permanent in 1925. The revised constitution was adopted by Synod
in 1828, and it was resolved to get the seminary into operation immediately.

The Reverend Thomas Goulding, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Lex-
ington, Georgia, was elected the first Professor of Theology in December of
1828, and he gathered five students for instruction in the manse. Following
completion of arrangements in Columbia, 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 the
Princeton Seminary and of Andover Theological Seminary. He served nearly
fifty years until his death in 1883.

In 1857, the Synod of Alabama established the adoption of the seminary as
"our own, placing its name among those of the institutions which we call
'ours', and which we are to cherish and care for, support, help, and en-
courage 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 for-
merly a carriage house where Woodrow Wilson was to be "reborn for
eternity," and where the Presbyterian, U. S. Book of Church Order 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 so was develop-
ing as a commercial, industrial, educational and cultural center, also. 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 success-
fully 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 coop-
eration of the city's 14,193 Presbyterians in the seventy-four 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 erection 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 fifty-seven acre Deca-
tur, Georgia, site on the outskirts of Atlanta, joining Candler School of Theol-
ogy and another eleven of the current twenty-three institutions of higher edu-
cation 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 institu-
tion 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, Georgia Hall, Florida Hall, three student apartment build-
ings, and thirteen faculty homes were built. The faculty was increased from six
to twenty-one full-time members and the student body quadrupled. Following
President Richards' retirement, Dr. C. Benton Kline served as president until
1975 when he resigned to return to active teaching. Dr. J. Davison Philips,
pastor of the Decatur Presbyterian Church, assumed the presidency on Janu-
ary 1, 1976.

Columbia Seminary is an instrument of the Presbyterian Church, U.S., but
with a special relationship to the Synods of Florida, Mid-South and Southeast,
by whom it is owned and controlled. The Plan of Government, under which
the seminary operates, defines the rights and responsibilities of both the semi-
nary and the Synods. In addition, there is a Covenant between Columbia Semi-
nary and the Synod of the Mid-South further defining a strong and mutually
supportive relationship: in which the seminary is committed to Biblical Author-
ity, Doctrinal Fidelity and Ecclesiastical Loyalty (see below for details) in degree
programs, continuing education events and as a theological resource center;
while the miswion of the Synod is to inform, stimulate, coordinate and channel
the commitments of Presbyterians within its bounds and to encourage their
more active involvement in all the many expressions of the church's traditional
concern for educational quality and wholeness.

PURPOSE

Columbia Theological Seminary is an instrument of the Church, and its pur-
pose and programs are formed in relation to the mission of the Church. Since
the work of the Church is dependent in large degree upon its leaders, the
seminary is a graduate professional school engaged in preparing men and

women for Church leadership. As such it is an educational institution, prepar-
ing persons for encounter with the intellectual problems of our world in such a
way that they will be worthy of the respect of those to whom they witness.
At the same time, it is also a professional school and, thus, focuses on the
competences and skills necessary to the practice of ministry. In each dimension
of its life, the seminary seeks to facilitate the personal growth of students, and
thereby to deepen their love for Christ, to encourage them in spiritual maturity
and to inspire them with a zeal for service.

COLUMBIA'S COMMITMENTS

Three basic commitments have marked and continue to mark Columbia
Seminary's program.

The first commitment is to Biblical authority. Faculty members all affirm that
the Bible is the word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. All
our teaching and ministry grows out of this commitment. So we require seri-
ous study of the Old and New Testaments in the Hebrew and Greek. Theol-
ogy and ethics are based on the Biblical ground. Student's preaching is mea-
sured by its faithfulness to the Biblical text. Our constant appeal is to the
Scripture as it is attested to be the word of God by the inward witness of the
Holy Spirit.

The second commitment is to doctrinal fidelity. All regular faculty members
are ordained officers in the Presbyterian Church. Students study the major
creeds and confessions of the Reformed tradition. The fundamental affirma-
tions of that tradition stand at the center of the educational experience, as
faculty and students seek to express them in terms that speak to people who
live in today's world.

The third commitment is to ecclesiastical loyalty. Columbia Seminary was
founded by the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia to provide leadership
for the Presbyterian Church and its program. Our students study the polity of
the church and the program of the General Assembly, synods and
presbyteries. Our teaching and our ministry seek to be loyal to the Presbyte-
rian Church, U.S., as it works out its life and program under the doctrinal stan-
dards, the authority of Scripture, and the lordship of Jesus Christ, the head of
the church.

These basic commitments are fulfilled today in a different educational style
than in an earlier time. Indoctrination leads too often to mere rote learning and
to an uncreative and wooden ministry. Our style of teaching and community is
one of openness. The Biblical witness, the Reformed doctrine, and the
church's program are presented as vital options for today. Students are called
to make their own commitment to them as ministers of the Gospel.

We believe that those who enter the service of Jesus Christ need do so
out of a conviction which is their own. Only then can they be the effective
ministers of our Lord that our church and our world need today.

ADMISSIONS INFORMATION

ADMISSIONS PROCEDURE

Students desiring admission to the BASIC DEGREE PROGRAM and SPECIAL
PROGRAMS may request an application from the Office of Admissions. In ad-
dition to the completed application form, students must furnish additional
items, including transcripts, references, test scores from the Graduate Record
Exam, and a letter of endorsement from one's home church. An interview
with a member of the Admissions Committee is required following submission
of the application. This interview is best done on our campus and you would
be our guest during your visit.

Due to the sequential nature of required courses, no applicants will be
admitted to the basic degree programs, except in July or September. All stu-
dents granted admission to Columbia Seminary will be asked to submit a Letter
of Intent.

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

An entering student may be placed on academic probation. Specific condi-
tions for achieving good standing will be stated. Students are required to have
a reading knowledge of Greek. See page 58 for details. Students who request
permission to begin without the Greek requirement can only be admitted by
special action of the faculty and ordinarily this involves additional semesters in
residence. An entering student who has not completed the Greek language
requirement may be denied admission or placed on probation.

Students desiring admission to an advanced degree program may secure
applications from the Director of Advanced Studies. Ordinarily a basic divinity
degree is required for entrance into the TH.M. PROGRAM, the D.MIN. (in-
ministry) or the S.T.D. PROGRAMS.

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

SPECIAL AND UNCLASSIFIED STUDENTS

Students meeting requirements for admission to the basic degree program
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 approved by the
Dean of Academic Affairs.

Unclassified students may be admitted to take courses of particular interest
for credit, if prerequisites for each course are satisfied. Course selection must
be approved by the Dean of Academic Affairs.

AUDITORS

Regular students, spouses of students, and other members of the commu-
nity are invited to audit courses, with the permission of the instructor and
provided space is available in the course. Registration as an auditor must be

made through the office of the Dean of Academic Affairs at the regular time
for registration.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Students in good standing in other accredited seminaries may be admitted
after transcripts have been evaluated and their applications approved by the
Admissions Committee. These students must secure a letter from their Dean of
Students indicating that they are students in good standing. Transfer students
into the M.Div. program are expected to spend a minimum of 3 fourteen-
week semesters in residence. Transfer students intending to enter the D.Min.
(in-sequence) program ordinarily are not allowed credit for more than the
equivalent of one year of work prior to entering the program.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Students whose native language is not English must include with regular
application data evidence of a score of 500 or more on the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL). Overseas students are expected to have the writ-
ten recommendation of their denomination. Also, a statement of the students'
plans for future work in their native country is required. All students are ex-
pected to provide a statement of available finances for their graduate study.
Columbia Seminary does not provide scholarships to individuals for graduate
study. Normally, international students are accepted only for graduate work
beyond the M.Div. level.

CROSS REGISTRATION AT A.T.A. SCHOOLS

Students may cross register for courses at Candler School of Theology, the
Interdenominational Theological Center or Erskine Seminary at no additional
charge, as may students of these schools cross register for Columbia courses.

CONFERENCES

Columbia Seminary annually sponsors two Conferences on Ministry on the
Seminary campus. Usually in February, Columbia invites college students and
recent college graduates, who are considering the ministry, to the campus for
the College Conference. During this Conference, the men and women attend
classes, meet in faculty and staff homes, talk with students, staff and faculty
and worship with the Seminary Community. Another Conference On Ministry
which is usually in the Spring is planned primarily for those who are consider-
ing a vocational change to the ministry. These conferences are intended to
enable the conferees to explore further their own sense of call to ministry. For
further information you may write to the Director of Admissions, Columbia
Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia, 30031.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Columbia provides a community setting for theological education. In this
context courses of study leading to both basic and advanced degrees are of-
fered. The Master of Arts in Youth Ministry, the Master of Divinity and the
Doctor of Ministry (in-sequence) are the first professional degrees. The Master
of Arts in Theological Studies is also a basic theological degree, but academic
rather than professional in orientation. Advanced degrees are the Master of
Theology, the Doctor of Ministry (in-ministry) and the Doctor of Sacred
Theology.

BASIC DEGREES

Admission

Admission to the basic degree programs at Columbia Seminary usually re-
quires a four-year degree from an accredited university or college of arts and
sciences, or its equivalent. Students without four years of preseminary prepa-
ration are not eligible to earn degrees at the seminary except by special action
of the faculty. When requested to do so by presbyteries of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States, students without a university or college degree
may be accepted 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 American his-
tory, psychology, sociology, and English grammar and literature form the foun-
dation for seminary studies. Students with inadequate backgrounds in these
areas may be required to take remedial work or select particular electives
within the seminary curriculum.

MASTER OF DIVINITY AND
DOCTOR OF MINISTRY DEGREE (IN-SEQUENCE)

At the time of entering, seminary students are admitted to "the first profes-
sional degree program." This means either a three component program lead-
ing to the Master of Divinity degree or a four component program leading to
the Doctor of Ministry (in-sequence) degree. The first two components of
both degrees involve a common program. The academic courses and super-
vised ministry in these initial components are designed to assist the student in
developing intellectual tools and professional skills to begin the practice of min-
istry. At the end of the second component, students, together with their peers
and faculty, engage in a process of professional evaluation leading to admis-
sion to degree candidacy. Strengths, areas of growth, and specific interests in
future ministry of the student are assessed so as to determine whether he or
she should proceed toward the Master of Divinity degree or toward the Doc-
tor of Ministry degree (in-sequence).

Students pursuing the Master of Divinity degree move to a third compo-
nent. Students qualifying for the Doctor of Ministry degree proceed to two
further components, the first of which includes a twelve-month period of su-

pervised ministry in an approved setting. The final, on-campus component in-
volves, in addition to academic work, a series of seminars enabling the student
to reflect on his or her period of supervised ministry and to complete a written
dissertation, including a project of learnings during the 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 common pro-
gram for the first professional degrees. The C component follows the profes-
sional assessment and represents the final stage leading to the Master of Divin-
ity degree. For students admitted to the Doctor of Ministry degree at the time
of the professional assessment, the D component designates the twelve-
month period of supervised ministry and the E component the final, on-
campus element.

Requirements for the M.Div. Degree

1. There must be on file with the seminary a complete and official tran-
script of credits showing graduation with a bachelor's degree from an accred-
ited university or college of liberal arts and sciences, or its equivalent.

2. 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 60) together with enough electives to total
76 credits. The overall grade average must be C or better.

3. The candidate must satisfactorily complete all the requirements of the
C component (as outlined on pages 60 and 61) with a total of 112 credits. The
overall grade average must be C or better.

4. The student must pass a Bible content exam.

5. The faculty must be satisfied that the conduct and attitude of the can-
didate is becoming a minister of the Gospel and that he or she gives promise
of useful service in the ministry or other Church vocation.

6. All bills to the seminary must be paid and assurance given that all open
accounts in the community and elsewhere have been satisfied.

Requirements for the DMin. Degree (in-sequence)

1. There must be on file with the seminary a complete and official tran-
script of credits showing graduation with a bachelor's degree from an accred-
ited university or college of liberal arts and sciences, or its equivalent.

2. The student must be admitted to degree candidacy at the end of the B
component. To qualify for candidacy the student must have satisfied all the
academic and supervised ministry requirements for the A and B components
(as outlined on page 60) together with enough electives to total 76 credits.
The overall grade average must be 2.0 (on a scale of 3.) or better.

3. The candidate must satisfactorily engage in a twelve-month period of
supervised ministry for which a total of 20 credits is given.

8

4. The candidate must satisfactorily complete all other course require-
ments of the D and E components (as outlined on page 61) with a total of 138
credits. The overall grade average for these components must be B or better.

5. The candidate must complete an acceptable doctoral project no later
than the end of the academic year following the E Component. To graduate at
the spring commencement April 1 is the deadline for provisional approval of
the dissertation by the doctoral project committee and May 1 for final ap-
proval of the completed dissertation.

6. The student must pass a Bible content exam.

7. All bills to the seminary must be paid and assurance given that all open
accounts in the community and elsewhere have been satisfied.

8. The faculty must be satisfied that the conduct and attitude of the can-
didate is becoming a minister of the Gospel and that he or she gives promise
of useful service in the ministry or other Church vocation.

Professional Assessment

The Professional 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 will usually be scheduled in the spring
term of the B component or the following September and is a condition for
the student's beginning work in either the C or D components. Detailed guide-
lines for the assessment process are given to the student well in advance, in-
cluding criteria, data to be considered, composition of the assessment commit-
tee, intent of the interview, and possible recommendations to the faculty
which might ensue. Admission to candidacy for ministry by a presbytery or
appropriate church body must be completed before the assessment.

The admission to degree candidacy for either the M.Div. or D.Min. (in-
sequence) degrees emerges from the professional assessment and must be ap-
proved by the faculty. At that time a student may be required to take a spe-
cific course or courses as a part of his or her designated electives.

Minister to Youth

Students in the M.Div. program can take course work and supervised min-
istry that will provide them with the basic concepts and skills to engage in
ministry with youth. Interested students should see the Dean of Academic
Affairs.

Certified Minister of Christian Education

Students in the M.Div. program can take a set of Christian education
courses within their elective hours that will lead them to certification by the
Presbyterian Church in the U.S., following their ordination, as a Minister of
Christian Education. Students interested in this speciality should see the Dean
of Academic Affairs.

MASTER OF ARTS IN THEOLOGICAL STUDIES

The purpose of this program is to provide systematic study of the Christian
faith for people who are not preparing for ordination to professional Christian
ministry. It is designed for students who want to broaden and deepen their
understanding of the faith so that they can be more knowledgeable and effec-
tive Christians as lay people in the Church and in their lay vocations, and for
others who are preparing for further academic work in a theological discipline
(toward a Ph.D., for instance.) The Master of Arts in Theological Studies will
not qualify persons for the ordained ministry, since this program does not in-
clude training in the practice of ministry or in other areas prerequisite for ordi-
nation. The Seminary hopes with this program not only to offer advanced
study in theological disciplines to lay people in the Church, but also to enrich
the Seminary community by the presence and challenge of students who bring
to it the questions and demand for excellence of searching, thinking, non-pro-
fessional Christians.

Students, after consultation with the Director of the Master of Arts in The-
ological Studies program and professors, select one of the following five fields
for specialization: Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, Theology
or Ethics. A faculty adviser from the field of specialization is assigned by the
Director of the program to provide guidance in the selection of courses and to
coordinate the giving of the comprehensive examinations. Language require-
ments are determined by the field of specialization.

General Requirements for the M.A. in' Theological Studies Degree

1. Students must earn a total of 52 credits. This shall include at least one
course in each of the five fields of specialization; an additional course in three
of the five fields; a minimum of 17 credits in the chosen field of specialization;
and a minimum of 9 credits in a cognate field. Other requirements may be
established by the Area in which the field of specialization falls.

2. Students must pass a written comprehensive examination designed, ad-
ministered, and graded by faculty members in the field of specialization. The
purpose of the examination is to test the student's capacity to function knowl-
edgeably and critically in the field of specialization, to relate methodology
and/or content from the cognate field to the field of specialization, and to
think and write clearly. The examination normally comes at the conclusion of
the student's course work and usually involves three or more months of study.
A thesis may be substituted for the written exam in exceptional cases.

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, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia
30031.

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 (in-ministry) and the S.T.D.
also on necessary ministry experience which has ensued since the reception of
the M.Div.

In addition to the resources of the faculty and library on Columbia's cam-
pus, graduate students are able to draw upon the resources of the Atlanta
area. The S.T.D. program and D.Min. (in-ministry) programs are administered
by the Graduate Professional Studies Committee of the Atlanta Theological
Association, which coordinates and augments the resources of Candler School
of Theology, Emory University, the Interdenominational Theological Center,

12

and Columbia. Th.M. students may also include in their program studies at
these other seminaries.

The resources of the Atlanta community are also available to Columbia
graduate students. Pastoral counseling programs in several settings are made
available through the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care. The Urban Train-
ing Organization of Atlanta provides resources in the area of urban problems
and urban ministries. Numerous national and regional offices of denomination
and interdenominational agencies are located in Atlanta. Other educational op-
portunities are available at Emory University, Georgia State University, and col-
leges in the area.

For students desiring to graduate at the spring commencement, March 15
is the deadline for provisional approval of the doctoral project by the project
committee and May 1 for final approval of the completed project.

MASTER OF THEOLOGY

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 required. Ordinarily a
B average in an applicant's college and seminary program is considered a mini-
mum standard for admission. Except for the Th.M. in pastoral counseling or
pastoral supervision, 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, he or she may substitute an approved language for one
of the above languages.

Admission to Candidacy

Students seeking a degree in Biblical, historical-doctrinal, or pastoral studies
must be admitted to candidacy by vote of the faculty. Application involves the
proposal of a thesis committee composed of a chairperson from the faculty
and two other members and the proposal of a thesis topic, previously ap-
proved by the chairperson. This information must be given in writing to the
Advanced Studies Committee prior to October 15th. The faculty meeting early
in November is the deadline for the formal admission to candidacy if the stu-
dent expects to receive the degree at commencement the following spring.

Requirements for the Degree

In order to qualify for the Th.M. degree, a student must complete the fol-
lowing 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 600s) with grades that average not less than B. This
academic work shall involve the equivalent of at least one academic year in
partial residence.

13

2. an acceptable thesis, which shall constitute six additional credits. For stu-
dents planning to graduate at the spring commencement March 15 is the
deadline for provisional approval of the thesis by the thesis committee and
May 1st for final approval of the completed thesis.

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

Specialization

Each student seeking the Th.M. degree will concentrate his or her studies in
one of the following fields: Biblical studies, historical-doctrinal studies, pastoral
studies, pastoral counseling, or pastoral supervision. At least 12 credits, in addi-
tion to the thesis, must be taken in the field in which the student specializes. At
least six credits must be taken outside the field of specialization. Credit for
work taken at the basic level (courses numbered lower than 600) must be
approved prior to the taking of the courses by the chairperson of the thesis
committee (if appointed), the Director of Advanced Studies, and the Dean of
Academic Affairs. In no case shall more than 4 credits of basic level work be
counted toward the degree.

The Th.M. in pastoral counseling and the Th.M. in pastoral supervision do
not require a thesis; however there are other requirements.

Pastoral Counseling

The beginning year of this program requires the successful completion of
an intern year in one of the institutions accredited by the Association for
Clinical Pastoral Education.

By the end of the first year, if the student is adjudged sufficiently compe-
tent by the multidisciplinary professional committee, he or she is admitted to
the counseling practicum for counseling supervision at one of the three prac-
ticums. These are located at the Georgia Association of Pastoral Care, the At-
lanta Psychiatric Center, and the Pastoral Services of Georgia Baptist Hospital.
Sufficient supervision of counseling, intake, etc., is provided to qualify the can-
didate upon satisfactory completion for membership in the American Associa-
tion of Pastoral Counselors, Inc.

In addition to the above, the student must complete 24 credits of ad-
vanced level academic work at a B average or better.

A research project (non-credit) completes the requirements for the degree.

Pastoral Supervision

This specialization of the Th.M. program has been developed for students
seeking to become certified chaplain supervisors. An intern year must be suc-
cessfully completed in one of the affiliate institutions of the Association for
Clinical Pastoral Education.

The total number of academic credits of advanced level work required is
24 at a B average or better.

In addition, a residency year must also be satisfactorily completed. The
year may be elected in any institution accredited by the Association for Clinical

14

Pastoral Education. Certification as acting supervisor by any region of the Asso-
ciation for Clinical Pastoral Education will complete the requirements for the
degree.

THE DOCTOR OF MINISTRY (IN-MINISTRY)

A 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 institutional 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 specialization within, their own ministry.

Admission

Each applicant should hold an M.Div. or equivalent degree with a superior
academic record and/or superior professional performance, and should have
at least one year, preferably three, 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 achieve-
ments, interests, goals, and personal purposes for the D.Min. program that will
illustrate continued development.

Advanced standing on the basis of post-M.Div. courses in other programs
will be determined by the Advanced Studies Committee of the Seminary.

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 aca-
demic and clinical courses. The doctoral project is executed after the comple-
tion 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 (6) credits for the core seminar in contemporary ministry and career
assessment;

Six (6) credits for an approved ministry under supervision experience
equivalent to one full time quarter;

Eighteen (18) credits of advanced courses;

Six (6) credits for the doctoral project.

To assist both personal development and also course and project planning,
each student secures a faculty adviser and a doctoral committee. After com-
pletion of course work and before the execution of the doctoral project, the

15

student will take an examination covering a range of subjects designated by his
doctoral committee.

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

DOCTOR OF SACRED THEOLOGY IN PASTORAL COUNSELING

This degree is offered through the Atlanta Theological Association by the
Candler School of Theology, Columbia Theological Seminary, and the Interde-
nominational Theological Center. It is administered by the Atlanta Theological
Association which has responsibility for approving admission to the program,
establishing curriculum offerings, and certifying candidates for the award of
degrees through the S.T.D. Committee.

This S.T.D. program, focused on pastoral counseling, concentrates upon
the counseling, guidance, and consultation aspects of the minister's profes-
sional function. The more specialized nature of the program is reflected in ad-
mission requirements and the program of studies.

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 mental health center, to serve as consultants to their fellow
clergy, and to offer training in pastoral care and counseling at various levels.
The program is designed to prepare students for membership as Fellows in the
American Association of Pastoral Counselors.

Admission

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 profes-
sional promise were evident. The admission process includes: 1) an assessment
of the applicant's academic grades and professional performance, 2) a state-
ment of purpose, 3) references and other materials supplied with the applica-
tion, and 4) a personal interview with the director of the program, 5) and one
or more personal interviews with the pastoral counseling faculty and appropri-
ate officers of the school to which application is being made.

In addition, applicants must have significant experience in ministry (approxi-
mately three years' full time employment after completion of the first theologi-
cal degree), in clinical pastoral education (usually four consecutive units), and
one or more personal interviews with the pastoral counseling and other
faculties.

A student who, though otherwise acceptable, has not had courses in per-
sonality development and pastoral care equivalent to those taught in the par-
ticipating seminaries of the Atlanta Theological Association, must take these
courses without credit during the first year of his residence.

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

16

Program of Study

The studies included within the program will help the student (1) gain an
advanced understanding of appropriate theological and theoretical concepts;
(2) learn under qualified supervision the application of these concepts in pas-
toral counseling and how to promote professional integration of theory and
skills in both pastoral counseling and pastoral guidance; and (3) design and
execute a research project appropriate to his or her professional practice
which will give evidence of his or her creative ability to contribute to this
aspect of pastoral counseling.

In carrying out this program, which must 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 (3 hours credit per semester) dealing with personality the-
ory, psychotherapy theory and pastoral theology are required in the first four
semesters of studies. Ordinarily the student enters the pastoral counseling
practicum when entering the program of studies. The clinical setting for super-
vision is the Pastoral Counseling Service of the Georgia Association for Pastoral
Care.

In addition, the student enters the pastoral counseling practicum at the time
he or she enters the program and continues until judged competent as a
counselor.

When the student has completed these 54 semester hours of work, with a
B average (GPA of 2.00 or better) he or she may apply to take the Compre-
hensive Examination, which tests the competence in both the content and per-
formance of pastoral counseling. The content areas in which the student will
be examined include:

a) THEOLOGY, with the foci upon theological method and pastoral
theology;

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

c) PASTORAL CARE, including history of pastoral care, ministerial role, gui-
dance at the passage points of life, ministry in crisis situations, and
referrals;

d) material relative to the student's doctoral project;

e) a related area of the student's choice.

The performance areas in which the student will be examined include:

a) evaluation interviewing

b) pastoral counseling

c) supervision

d) professional maturity within the role of pastoral counselor

17

e) ability to relate pastoral counseling to the total ministerial role.

The supervision in pastoral counseling, which is an integral part of the
S.T.D. degree program is provided according to the standards of the American
Association of Pastoral Counselors and the American Association of Marriage
and Family Therapists. It may be used, therefore, to meet the requirements for
counseling supervision of both the A.A.P.C. and the A.A.M.F.T.

Following satisfactory performance in the Comprehensive Examination the
student will then engage in an approved dissertation which demonstrates abil-
ity to utilize theological and theoretical knowledge in relation to some problem
of his or her professional practice, and which contributes useful findings and
insights to this area of theological investigation. He or she will prepare a writ-
ten report and undergo an oral examination on the dissertation.

toral Counseling program may be obtained from: Dr. John H. Patton, Director,

EVANGELISM EMPHASIS

In 1981 Columbia Seminary began a new emphasis in evangelism; one
which includes classroom instruction, and consultation and model building in
congregations and presbyteries, along with regional training conferences. This
emphasis has been made possible, in part, through a grant from The Outreach
Foundation.

The courses of instruction aim at equipping seminarians, ministers, and lay
persons with the understanding and skills to practice an effective evangelism
which is faithful to the whole gospel. Instruction in evangelistic method and
strategies is centered in seminars and classes offered on campus, but also in-
volves participation in advanced degree program courses offered off campus.

The professor of evangelism also provides consultation on church growth
and outreach to individual congregations. The central thrust of such consulta-
tion involves designing effective models in specific situations.

In addition to instruction and consultation this emphasis offers to interested
presbyteries workshops and conferences in effective evangelism meant for
both clergy and lay persons.

For further information write to Evangelism Emphasis, Columbia Theological
Seminary, Decatur, GA 30031.

INTERNATIONAL THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION

Columbia Seminary is committed to the task of preparing students for min-
istry in a world that is shrinking rapidly and where preoccupation with paro-
chial concerns is no longer an option. A varied program of international educa-
tion has emerged from serious, cross-cultural dialog with church leaders in

18

other parts of the world -in particular, the Caribbean. This program for the
1982-83 year include:

a Winter Term seminar for first professional degree students on
"Internationalizing Ministry" held on the campus of the United The-
ological College of the West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica

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

Supervised Ministry placements for Columbia students in Caribbean
Churches under the supervision of experienced Caribbean pastors

students, faculty, and pastors from the Caribbean working and
studying on the Columbia campus

These events are all part of a program co-ordinated by the Atlanta Theo-
logical Association. In addition, there are international faculty from four coun-
tries and students from eleven countries studying on the Columbia campus
during the 1982-83 academic year. Columbia students participate regularly in
the "Volunteer in Mission" program of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.

The 1981-82 academic year marked the beginning of an exchange program
with Columbia Seminary and Westminster College in Cambridge, England. A
full scholarship was provided by Westminster College for a Columbia student
to study there during the 1982-83 academic year. In 1983-84 a scholarship will
be offered by Columbia Seminary for a student from Westminster to study at
Columbia.

Many of these programs are funded through a generous gift from the Wo-
men of the Church, Presbyterian Church, U.S.

For further information write to Dr. T. Erskine Clarke, Director of Interna-
tionalizing Theological Education, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, CA
30031.

THE MID EAST SEMINAR

A summer travel seminar, is sponsored jointly by Columbia Theological
Seminary, Candler School of Theology at Emory University, and Southern Bap-
tist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, 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 Testament Studies
at Candler. It is limited to twenty participants - five students from each of the
schools plus five pay persons selected from positions of leadership 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 oppor-
tunity for extended interchange between the students preparing for profes-

19

sional careers In the church and lay persons who are already playing key roles
In business and community affairs. Professor Cousar in Columbia's representa-
tive for the program.

RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUNG LIFE

Columbia cooperates with Young Life as a seminary where Young Life staff
can receive their basic level of training for professional youth ministry or
where they can work toward an ordination degree and a variety of future
ministries.

CURRICULUM

The teaching program at Columbia is arranged in four areas: Biblical, histori-
cal-doctrinal, pastoral, and supervised ministry. Studies in each of these areas
are combined with the interdisciplinary studies in the curriculum for the first
professional degrees. While classroom instruction is basic to these first degree
programs, their goal is to equip students to continue their education indepen-
dently. The resources of the library, the structure of course work, and inde-
pendent study courses encourage early realization of that goal.

Studies in the BIBLICAL area seek to help the students understand and inter-
pret an ancient book, the Bible, in a world where people go to the moon. To
do this these studies are concerned with developing tools and skills to under-
stand the ancient world, its language, history, and thought, and tools and skills
to grasp the meaning of the Bible for contemporary people. Creek and He-
brew 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 so that
they can understand the present and how we got here. Students engaged in
these studies also struggle to form their own theology and to discover what it
means for them to be Christian today. 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 historical-doctri-
nal studies students 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 around it.

The PASTORAL area centers on the functioning of the person 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 we do not fully know today the shape of the ministry of tommorrow,
the concern of these studies is to train students to understand the issues in-
volved, to help them see their own strengths and weaknesses, and then to

20

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 curriculum.
Through its structure students are involved in the actual practice of ministry
under competent supervision. Through experiential, relational, inductive learn-
ing, the student explores, within a peer group, the forms, styles, contents, and
concepts of ministry. Not only does the student put into practice what has
been learned through studies in the Biblical, historical-doctrinal, and pastoral
areas, but these studies are integrated with the practice of ministry and the
personhood of the student.

Columbia's faculty recognizes that the METHOD OF TEACHING also makes
a significant contribution to learning. Consequently, a variety of teaching meth-
ods are employed. Team teaching, which enables the professors themselves to
participate more fully in the learning process, and which effectively brings dif-
ferent kinds of competence together in the classroom, is widely used. Because
small groups are a part of most courses, creative interchange between student
and student and between students' peers and professors is the mark of in-
struction at Columbia. Field trips, simulations, particularly seminars and use of
AVs (especially video), also are examples of a wide variety of teaching
methods.

The faculty reserves the right to modify individual course requirements
within a degree program; such changes to 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 during 1982-83 and
proposed by the faculty of Columbia Theological Seminary for 1983-86.
Changes in faculty situations and in student needs inevitably will necessitate
modification from term to term resulting in the failure to offer some electives
and the substitution of others.

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 Pastoral; I for Interdisci-
plinary; 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 de-
gree 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

400s are required courses for D and E component students and ATA
courses

21

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

600s are elective courses designed for advanced students (C,D,E, and grad-
uate students) but open to others when prerequisites are met, when
space is available, and by permission of the instructor.

The teen's digit identifies the particular academic discipline within the area,
except in Interdisciplinary and Supervised Ministry courses.

ACADEMIC NOTES

SCHEDULE

The academic year is composed of two long semesters of fourteen weeks
and a short January term of four weeks. During the summer the seminary
offers a full program of supervised ministry, independent study under the gui-
dance of a member of the faculty, an eight-week course in beginning Greek,
and a four-week summer session designed primarily for graduate students and
ministers interested in continuing education. The sequential nature of the cur-
riculum for first degree students makes it essential that they begin their work
only with the summer course in beginning Greek or with the fall term if they
have already mastered Greek.

INTRODUCTORY TERM

An orientation program is required of all entering students during the days
preceding the regular opening of the seminary in the fall. It offers an opportu-
nity 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 understand particular strengths and deficien-
cies of preparation for theological instruction. This,, program is without extra
expense to the students, except for a charge for board and housing.

Returning students are also required to participate in the introductory term,
including a de-briefing of the summer supervised ministry or intern program, a
discussion of procedures for receiving a call to a congregation, presbytery re-
lationships, and the like.

SENIOR WORSHIP

Graduating students in the C and E components are required to lead wor-
ship and preach for the community ordinarily on Monday evenings. The expe-
rience is evaluated by a group of students and faculty. Students in the A com-
ponent give written response to a required number of services as preparation
for their work in P141.

FLEXIBILITY

Students who have strong backgrounds in certain particular fields of the
curriculum, 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 Academic
Affairs. Two opportunities for flexibility are available.

1. Students may be permitted advanced placement in the A and B compo-
nents it 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 indepen-
dent study as a route to the establishment of competence in a required course
rather than taking one or several required courses.

54

CREDIT VALUATION AND COURSE LOAD

While the educational progress of the student cannot be ultimately mea-
sured by the number of credits earned, a system of course valuation is neces-
sary to assure balance in the curriculum. Columbia estimates a semester credit
as approximately 42 to 45 working hours, except for certain supervised minis-
try and clinical programs whose work investment is determined by the con-
tract for the particular course. The satisfactory completion of a course, how-
ever, is determined not by time invested but goals and objectives achieved.

Each student is required to consult with his or her faculty adviser before
registering for courses. The maximum number of credits a student in the basic
degree program may take in the fourteen week terms is 16, unless he or she
has a B average in which case he or she may take no more than 17. In the
four-week January term a student may register for no more than four credits.

The M.Div. degree normally requires three full academic years in residence,
plus a summer term for SM210. The D.Min. (in-sequence) degree normally re-
quires three full academic years in residence, a summer term for SM210, and a
twelve month internship in a ministry setting.

The Master of Arts in theological Studies and the Master of Arts in Youth
Ministry usually require 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 FIRST DEGREE STUDENTS
according to the following three quality points system. A grade report is sent
to each student and his or her presbytery. For A through E component stu-
dents, special, Master of Arts in Theological Studies, Master of Arts in Youth
Ministry and unclassified students the grading system is:

A 3.0 Exceptional work, showing creativity, mastery of the

material, and skill in organizing and expressing ideas.
A 2.7 Outstanding work, showing creativity, mastery of the

material, or organization and expression as well as

above superior in other respects.
B + 2.3 Superior work, showing creativity, mastery of the

material and organization and expression but not

exceptional or outstanding in any of these.
B 2.0 Superior work, showing creativity, mastery of the

material or organization and expression as well as no

deficiencies in any other respect.
B- 1.7 Above standard work, showing mastery of the material

and organization and expression.
Slightly above graduation standard.
Requirement has been adequately fulfilled.
Below graduation standard.

55

1.3

c

1.0

c-

0.7

D 0.0 Serious deficiencies in mastery of the material or

organization and expression or cumulative deficiencies
in both.

F -1.0 Unacceptable work.

An E is given when a portion of the course requirements - such as a
major paper, an examination or a project - are unacceptable to the instruc-
tor. Unless such work is completed in acceptable form within the time exten-
sion, 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 and E component students during their final component 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.

E component students receive H/S/U for 1411, 412 and 413.

H honors for work of exceptionally distinguished quality

S satisfactory, for work which represents sufficient mastery

of the content of the course to merit recommendation
for graduation
U unsatisfactory, for work which represents insufficient

mastery of the content of the course to merit
recommendation for graduation
E component students receive Pass/Fail grades for I402, 1411, 1412, and 1413.

For Th.M., S.T.D., and D.Min. (in ministry) students:

A excellent, 3 quality points per credit

B good, 2 quality points per credit

C passing, 1 quality point per credit

F failure, minus 1 quality point per credit

GRADUATION WITH HONORS

M.Div. degree students who have earned at least a 2.60 grade point aver-
age on course work will, with the approval of the faculty, be awarded the
degree "with distinction."

ATTENDANCE

Each professor has the responsibility of setting attendance requirements for
classes according to the nature of the course. All professors make known their
requirements on the first day of class and notify the Dean of Students when, in
their judgment, any students fail to meet these requirements. Continuing not
to meet attendance requirements will result in a lowered or failing grade.

PROBATION AND UNACCEPTABLE WORK

Any student who fails to make a C average any term except the first places
himself/herself on probation for the next term, and if he/she fails to bring his/
her average up during that term, he/she will be dropped as a student. In the

56

event the student's overall average is C or better, he/she will be permitted to
remain as a student for another term on probation.

A U may be remedied by (1) further work on the course, (2) repeating the
course, (3) taking an elective course relating to the area of deficiency. A U
given for unexcused late work shall normally require additional work. Any stu-
dent whose work is unsatisfactory will be placed on probation, and if he/she
fails to show improvement in the next term he/she will be dropped as a
student.

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

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Students are encouraged to design and pursue their own program of inde-
pendent research and study as a part of the elective offerings. Contracts may
be drawn up with faculty members teaching in the area of the student's inter-
est for reading courses and research projects. 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.

ORDINATION EXAMS

Students who become candidates for ordination in the Presbyterian Church
U.S. are required to take written examinations administered either by the pres-
bytery under which the student is a candidate or the presbytery in which he
or she expects to accept a call. The written exams are in the areas of Bible,
theology, the sacraments, and Church polity. There is ample opportunity
within the regular seminary curriculum to take course work preparatory to the
exams. Special tutorial sessions with professors are offered in the Spring.

SUMMER GREEK SCHOOL

Entering students in the first professional degree program are required 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
the summer. The course runs for an eight-week period and meets daily, usu-
ally each morning, Monday through Friday, for three hours, with small group
afternoon tutorial sessions. Students who have successfully completed two
years of Greek in college or who pass a Greek qualifying examination are ex-
empted from B021; in such case the requirements for the degree shall be re-
duced by 6 hours.

57

SUMMER SESSION

The Summer Session, a four week period in July and August, is meant to
provide usual and unusual educational opportunities, combining the faculty
with invited instructors whose special skills are particularly useful to practicing
ministers.

Purposes

to offer credit courses for D.Min. (in-ministry) students

to provide opportunities for practicing pastors and other ministers to en-
gage in continuing education aimed at further development of professional
skills

to assist ministers in assessing their professional skills

to provide laity with opportunities for development of skills needed in
their work in church and world

to provide clergy and laity with opportunities to understand the concerns
and priorities before the PCUS

Credit courses will take into account the concerns of practicing profession-
als rather than the needs of students preparing for practice of ministry. Discus-
sions, workshops, analysis, projects and learning by exploration will be
normative.

For further information write to the Director of Advanced Studies.

GENERAL EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION
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 Director and benefactor during the
1930's, the library is an integral part of the teaching program. It seeks to ex-
tend the work of the classroom in breadth and depth, to provide for student
and faculty research, and to encourage reading beyond course requirements.
Thus, it is a perpetual opportunity for and challenge to growth.

Completed in 1952 and recently renovated to include an Audio/Visual
room, a Rare Book room, and a lounge, the modern building has study facili-
ties for 120, including 32 study carrels. The collection numbers more than
75,000: books, periodicals, church records, tapes, cassettes, microforms, trans-
parencies, kits, paintings, and phonograph records. It is a well-balanced selec-
tion of older and more modern works and is particularly strong in Biblical stud-
ies, Biblical archaeology, Patristics, the Reformation, Pastoral Counseling, and
Presbyterianism. Reformation sources include the Calvin and Melanchthon sec-
tions of the Corpus Reformatorum and the Weimar edition of Luther.

ATLANTA THEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

Through the Atlanta Theological Association, Columbia enjoys academic
and professsional affiliations with Candler School of Theology, Erskine Theolog-
ical Seminary, and Interdenominational Theological Center, and with the Geor-
gia Association for Pastoral Care and Urban Training Organization of Atlanta.
The Association develops and coordinates educational programs and resources
of these member institutions, which include approximately 800 students, 85
faculty, and 600,000 volumes. (Students and scholars also have access to the
holdings of sixteen libraries in the Atlanta-Athens area which comprise the Uni-
versity Center in Georgia.) Among significant and promising cooperative en-
deavors are, in addition to the Doctor of Sacred Theology and Doctor of Min-
istry (in-ministry) degree programs, cross registration, sharing of faculty, library
and lectureship resources, interseminary courses and experimental programs in
various academic disciplines and professional specializations.

LECTURES

Each year two significant lectureships are sponsored at Columbia. One is
the Thomas Smyth Foundation Lectures, begun through a bequest of the Rev.
Thomas Smyth, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston, S. C.
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. Jaroslav Pelikan, Dr. Austin C. Lovelace, Dr.
Krister Stendahl, Dr. Jan M. Lochman, Rev. C. Frederick Buechner, Dr. Walter
Brueggemann and Dr. Jose Miguez-Bonino.

Another series, the Alumni/ae Lectures, brings to the campus theologians
and ministers who address the seminary community, graduates, and interested

62

pastors during the annual Columbia Forum. Recent speakers have been Dr.
Wallace M. Alston, jr., Dr. John H. Leith, Dr. William V. Arnold, Dr. Neely C.
McCarter, Dr. Orlando Costas, and Mr. Stuart McWilliam. Currently both se-
ries, together with a guest preacher and colloquia, are offered during the Co-
lumbia Forum, following the January Term. The preacher in 1983 was Ms.
Cynthia jarvis.

AWARDS AND PRIZES

Through the gifts of alumni and friends of the seminary several prizes and
awards have been established to recognize outstanding academic achieve-
ments by first professional degree students.

The Wilds Book Prize, initially established by Louis T. Wilds of Columbia,
South Carolina, provides a cash award to the graduating student selected by
the faculty for the highest distinction in his or her academic work over the
entire seminary program.

The Lyman and Myki Mobley Prize in Biblical Scholarship has been estab-
lished in memory of Donald Lyman Mobley (CTS, class of 1977) and Myki
Powell Mobley (Candler School of Theology, class of 1977). It is given each
year to the student or faculty member doing exemplary work in the field of
Biblical scholarship as it relates to the worship and work of the Church.

The Paul T Fuhrmann Book Prize in Church History was established in 1962
by an alumnus of the Seminary to honor the late Dr. Paul T. Fuhrmann, former
Professor of Church History. The award is made annually to the student who
has shown the most outstanding achievement in Church History.

The Florrie Wilkes Sanders Prize in Theology is given by the family of Flor-
rie Wilkes Sanders of Atlanta, Georgia. It is awarded each year to the student
presenting the best paper showing sound theological scholarship and rele-
vance to the needs of Christian people in the contemporary world. Special
attention is given to the papers relating theology to the education, professions
and avocations of lay people.

The Emma Gaillard Boyce Memorial Award is made annually by the Rev.
David Boyce, an alumnus of the seminary, in honor of his mother, a devoted
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 given each year by the Rev. Gabriel Abdullah,
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.

The Indiantown Country Church Award was established by the family of
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Stuckey in their honor to highlight the work of ministry in
churches in rural areas. The prize is awarded annually to a student who has
done outstanding work in the summer in a rural ministry.

63

The Presbytery of St. Andrew Women of the Church Preaching Award is
given for the best sermon written by a student during the academic year.

GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS

The Seminary awards each year one or more fellowships to outstanding
graduates completing the M.Div. or D.Min. (in-sequence) degree. The purpose
of these fellowships is to recognize superior intellectual achievement demon-
strated 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 or doctoral graduate degree pro-
gram 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 Memo-
rial Fellowships are given periodically from a legacy left to the seminary in 1928
by the late William C. Whitner, of Rock Hill, S.C., in memory of his mother.

COLUMBIA SCHOLARSHIPS

Qualified men and women planning to attend seminary or seeking to ex-
plore the possibility of entering the ministry may apply for a Columbia Scholar-
ship for study at Columbia Theological Seminary. These scholarships are for
persons who have shown significant academic and leadership abilities during
their undergraduate study. The scholarships are for one academic year only.

To be eligible applicants must be citizens of the United States or Canada.
They must have received a bachelor's degree not more than three years prior
to the application or have academic standing as a graduating senior. The schol-
arships will be awarded to persons having high academic achievement and
leadership abilities. A personal interview is required.

All recipients are required to enroll full-time for one academic year at Co-
lumbia Seminary.

Up to seven awards will be made. Each grant is for $4000. An additional
$400 grant is made for those attending Greek School. If a recipient receives
another scholarship, an appropriate adjustment will be made in the stipend of
the Columbia Scholarship.

Application for a Columbia scholarship is made through the Office of Ad-
missions at Columbia Seminary. Selection is made by the Columbia Seminary
faculty on the recommendation of the Selection Committee. Applications must
be received no later than March 15. Announcement of the awards will be
made on April 15.

64

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

TULL SCHOLAR

Each year one of the Columbia Scholars is designated as the Tull Scholar.
This award, from the J. M. Tull Foundation, is given to a student who gives
"exceptional promise for future usefulness in the ministry."

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. Columbia'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 Region.

TELEVISION

On its own campus Columbia has video taping facilities. Video taping is
used in a variety of ways in classroom instruction and in preaching practicums.
Columbia's facilities also allow limited work in experimentation with television
production.

NATIONAL CAPITAL SEMESTER FOR SEMINARIANS

Columbia Seminary is a participating institution in the National Capital Se-
mester for Seminarians, organized by Wesley Theological Seminary, Washing-
ton, D. C. The program provides an opportunity for seminary students 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 inter-
action/reflection seminar, supervised study, and the opportunity to elect other
courses in Washington institutions. For detailed information, see the Dean of
Academic Affairs.

ALUMNI/AE ASSOCIATION

Columbia's alumni/ae hold their annual meeting on the Seminary campus
during the Columbia Forum, following the January term. Stimulating presenta-
tions on ministry are offered, classes hold yearly reunions, the Alumni/ae
Council and officers are elected and retiring professors are honored.

65

CONTINUING EDUCATION

In addition to the summer session and special courses in the January term,
several workshops and seminars are held each year as continuing education
offerings for ministers. These events, ordinarily non-credit, provide opportuni-
ties for both academic and professional growth. At any time in the year when
space is available ministers can come to the Seminary for independent study.
Library facilities can be arranged for research, and consultation with faculty is
encouraged.

THE COLUMBIA BOOKSTORE

The Seminary Bookstore, located in the Student Center, provides books,
materials, and supplies at a 15% discount for students to begin collecting for
their own theological library and for persons working toward advanced de-
grees to continue that process. The Bookstore also serves pastors, laypersons,
and churches all over the Southeast. Its inventory includes 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 Testament. Greater discounts are offered during special sales. The book-
store is open from 10:30-2:00, Monday through Friday, with special hours dur-
ing campus events.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Columbia Seminary offers financial assistance to many students each year.
This assistance is available to first professional degree students and is based
upon need.

Students applying for financial assistance complete a form giving their esti-
mated income and expenses. The estimated expenses are figured according to
norms established by a Columbia Seminary student-faculty committee. After
financial need is calculated, aid is provided in the form of work scholarships
and grants. Most students who come to Columbia Seminary without a large
indebtedness find that they can complete their Seminary education without
crippling financial worries.

Financial aid awarded for the 1982-83 academic year ranged from $630 to
$3505 depending upon need and family size. Maximum grants were $2425 for
single students, $2875 for married students without children, and $3505 for
married students with three or more children.

Students interested in more detailed information about the financial assis-
tance offered by Columbia Seminary should request from the Dean of Stu-
dents' Office the "Columbia Theological Seminary Memorandum on Financial
Aid," following acceptance.

Veterans Administration Benefits

Certification for V. A. benefits is handled through the Office of the Dean of

Students.

COLUMBIA FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE

Columbia Friendship Circle (CFC) is an association of more than 6,000 wo-
men throughout the PCUS 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 Columbia Seminary; and by
providing financial assistance to the Seminary each year by supporting a partic-
ular project. During the past several years CFC has raised over $25,000 each
year to support such projects as Scholarship Aid for students and Columbia
Scholarships.

69

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

Student Co-ordinating Council

The Student Co-ordinating Council was established to initiate discussion
and decisions within the student body, to respond to the needs of the student
community, and to co-ordinate student and community activities. It represents
the interests of the entire seminary community, i.e., students on and off cam-
pus, families of students, and all members of the seminary community.

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 student body and
throughout the Church. The society regularly brings outstanding speakers
before the student body and for years sponsored a Missions Conference at
Rock Eagle, Georgia. Through the work of the society a number of students
have responded to the challenge of international missions.

Society for Theological Scholarship

This society was established for the purpose of encouraging in every stu-
dent the highest possible scholarship in all departments of instruction. Mem-
bership is open to all students and faculty on a voluntary basis. Lectures, infor-
mal discussions with visiting lecturers, symposia by member of the faculty, and
other meetings are sponsored in the interest of Christian scholarship.

Women of Columbia

This organization is for all the women of the Columbia Community.
Women students, wives of male students, faculty wives, and other women in
the community meet together for study and the sharing of mutual concerns
and interests. The Women of Columbia sponsor a number of events for the
whole community as well as special programs of particular interest to women.

Student Athletic Program

Athletic activities are available and open to all students and their families.
These activities include volleyball, football, basketball, soccer, Softball, tennis,
ping pong, pool, golf, and Frisbee Golf.

Student Supply Preaching

Columbia Seminary works with Presbyteries and local congregations in
making arrangements for student supply preaching. Students are generally as-
signed on a rotating basis to churches that have requested supply ministers.

PLEDGE

Students entering Columbia Theological Seminary are required by the Semi-
nary's Plan of Government to take the pledge given below. This pledge was

70

first taken by students at Princeton Seminary around 1817 and continues in use
today in most Presbyterian Seminaries.

The language in many ways is archaic, but it still points to the basic respon-
sibilities of a student. The way in which the pledge is interpreted at Columbia
Seminary can be seen by reference to the "Digest of Information and Regula-
tions" in the Student Handbook.

Deeply impressed with the importance of improving in knowledge, piety,
and prudence, preparatory to the Gospel Ministry, I solemnly promise, in
reliance on Divine grace, that I will faithfully and diligently attend all the
assigned instructions of this Seminary, and that I will conscientiously and
vigilantly observe all the rules and regulations specified in the Plan of
Government, obey all lawful requisitions, and readily yield to all the
wholesome admonitions of the President and Professors of the Seminary
while I continue a student in it.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

Detailed information about the seminary community may be found in the
Student Handbook. Included is information on Student Records, Special Test-
ing, and the Digest of Information and Regulations.

COMMUNITY WORSHIP

The seminary community gathers for worship every day of regular classes
to express its thanksgiving for and need of God's grace in the church and in
the world.

71

COLUMBIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY - Its Support

The mission of Columbia Theological Seminary is to prepare good ministers 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.

Columbia Seminary's supporting synods have historically stated, and re-
peatedly confirmed, their intentions to be responsible for the enabling support
of the Seminary. It costs $9,000 a year to educate each student. Approxi-
mately 9% of the current operating budget comes from benevolence monies
provided by the synods.

Student fees provide for 26% of the budget while an additional 23% comes
from individual annual gifts to Living Endowment. A growing endowment pro-
vides approximately 36% of the annual budget. The sources of income may be
pictured as follows:

STUDENT FEES

Although gifts from the Supporting Synods for the operating budget have
decreased in recent years, Columbia Seminary is greatly indebted to the Syn-
ods for their endorsement and assistance in increasing the Seminary's endow-
ment through the Capital Funds Campaigns.

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

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Columbia expects students to pay as much of their education as possible
from their own resources. But beyond these resources, there are many unmet
needs. Columbia Seminary attempts to meet these needs so that no qualified
student will be denied the theological education required for service in the
leadership of the Church.

72

Permanently endowed Scholarship Funds provide the resources to enable
the students to remain in Seminary. These funds also encourage the students
by reminding them that they have the interest and concern of many men and
women who make up the Church.

Many friends have provided scholarship assistance through gifts large and
small. Printed below is a list of the established funds which provide scholar-
ships for deserving students (This list includes all established scholarships
through June 30, 1982. Newly established scholarships along with scholarships
that have had funds added will be reported in next years catalog.):

ENDOWMENT AND TEACHING

At the heart of the Seminary's ministry of training ministers is its faculty.
The endowment of a professorship is a means whereby a large sum of money
is raised to endow a chair permanently. The initial sum remains intact and the
Seminary uses only the money that is produced through the wise management
of the Investment Committee.

An Endowed Chair of $500,000 should produce sufficient income for a
faculty salary - including housing, insurance, pension, and secretarial service.
The continued development of endowed professorships contributes greatly to
financial stability especially in a period of inflation.

Funds for this purpose are necessarily of larger amounts and the Seminary
lists here with gratitude the following Funds which exceed $8,000 as of June
30, 1982:

Campbell Foundation Grants for the Endowment of Pastoral Care Department $500,000.00
