The Doctor of Ministry is a professional degree accredited by the Association of Theological Schools. As delineated by ATS, the theological program requires to meet specific learning outcomes in a minimum of 30 credit hours with a culminating project that contributes to the understanding of ministry practice. Practical theology is a discipline that seeks to take “both practice and theology seriously”. As a consequence, the DMin can be generally conceptualized as practical theology. However, this paper demonstrates a number of the specific ways in which this general claim can be substantiated. It does this with reference to a number of theoretical discussions within practical theology as to the discipline’s nature. It then examines the implication of this for the status of the DMin, student learning, program design, and the nature of the DMin project.

In June 1986 the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) in the United States and Canada approved the standards for offering the Doctor of Missiology (D.Miss.) as a professional degree that requires the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) for admission. This action was based on the following introduction and standards established for the degree.

When I was completing my book on foundational theology, I presented a paper on the concept of broad reflective equilibrium and foundational theology to a group of colleagues at a conference sponsored by the Association of Theological Schools. This paper summarized the book's concluding section, which dealt with the relationship between contemporary criticisms of foundationalism and a foundational theology employing the method of broad reflective equilibrium. It advanced a systematic and historical argument. Systematically, the section argued that the method of broad reflective equilibrium offered a vision of foundational theology that avoided the pitfalls of foundationalism, overcoming the foundationalism of fundamental theology. It appealed to current discussions about methodology, specifically, the discussions on reflective equilibrium in the philosophy of science and in political ethics. The historical argument appealed to Schleiermacher by relating Schleiermacher's stance on the relationship between systematic and philosophical theology to the conception of a nonfoundationalist foundational theology, employing the method of broad reflective equilibrium.

Primary Focus

Transportation engineering is a critical subdiscipline of the civil engineering profession as indicated by its inclusion on the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination and overlap with other specialty areas of civil engineering and as recognized by TRB, ITE, and ASCE. With increasing transportation workforce needs, low numbers of students entering the pipeline, and limited hours within undergraduate civil engineering programs, it is important to ensure that civil engineering students receive adequate preparation and exposure to career opportunities in the transportation engineering field. Thus, investigations into the status of transportation engineering within civil engineering programs and specifically the introductory transportation engineering course are essential for understanding implications to the profession. Relevant literature and findings from a new survey of civil engineering programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology is reviewed; that survey yielded 84 responses. The survey indicates that 88% of responding programs teach an introductory course in transportation engineering, and 79% require it in their undergraduate programs. Significant variation exists in the structure of the introductory course (number of credit hours, laboratory requirements, etc.). Common responses about improvements that could be made include adding laboratories, requiring a second course, and broadening course content. In addition, nearly 15% of instructors teaching the introductory course did not have a primary focus in transportation engineering. This finding should be investigated further, given that the course may be an undergraduate civil engineering student's only exposure to the profession.

The Association of Theological Schools in North America has adopted “globalization” as the major program emphasis for the 1990s. This is an analysis of the new opportunities which result for missiology and the missiologist within North American theological seminaries. Missiology can move from the periphery to the integrative core of the theological curriculum, relating globalization to the central task of the church and its ministry to be in mission.

As of 2017, the Association of Theological Schools had seen an increase in online course enrollment of 200% over ten years. It is therefore worth exploring in some depth the potential challenges and strengths of online and hybrid programs. This article describes one hybrid online-residential program, the Alternative Clergy Training at Sewanee (ACTS) program at the School of Theology at the University of the South, familiarly known as Sewanee. Based on the experience of this program and contemporary research on the strengths of online and hybrid programs, it is argued that hybrid learning has significant advantages in its own right, perhaps especially for those who may be considered "hybrid clergy," the deacons and bivocational priests for whom the program was designed.

Education is the right of all Indonesian citizens guaranteed in Constitution of the Republic Indonesia, including children who are in criminal status. Criminal children are placed in LPKA with a maximum age of 18 years with compulsory education for 9 years. LPKA Batam provides assistance to the package C equivalence program aimed at fulfilling the learning program from the government even though it is in the status of a criminal child. LPKA is conducting moderation in the field of education, namely by online learning related to outbreak of COVID-19 since early 2020 when government implementing the PSBB policy. One of the education programs at LPKA Batam is the package C equivalency learning assistance program wich one subjects is mathematics. The problems in the learning process are the different initial abilities of students and limitations in terms of convenience and flexibility of learning while online. Thus, tutors use Google Meet for virtual meeting learning by providing material in the form of PPT or LKS. The tutor teaches understanding of mathematical concepts according to the curriculum and fosters learning motivation for the target children who take part in the package C equivalence program. At the end of the lesson, the tutor provides an evaluation of the material given as much as one question and is completed directly at the meeting. During the learning process students are very enthusiastic about receiving the material, students can solve r outine questions well, but need more assistance in solving non-routine questions. The implementation of the package C equivalence program mentoring activities in mathematics at LPKA Batam went well as seen from the responses of students who played an active role from the beginning to the end of the activity

The author of this article is Professor of Church History at Taiwan Theological College, Taipei, Taiwan. The paper was prepared originally for the Fifth Theological Study Institute of the Association of Theological Schools in South-East Asia., held in Singapore in 1963. It has been revised and up-dated for this publication of it. We think it particularly significant that this article should appear in print just prior to the Centennial celebrations of the introduction of Protestant Christianity into Taiwan. The celebrations will be held in Taiwan in June 1965.

Students in graduate theological programs working toward ordination and a career in ministry in the Christian church require library collections that support their study of scripture, doctrine, ancient languages, and Biblical history and interpretation, as well as the practice of pastoral ministry, leadership, and administration. This chapter will discuss how to build collections at theological libraries measured against standards set by the Association of Theological Schools, the accrediting organization for theological schools in Canada and the United States; the importance of print and online reference works such as language dictionaries, atlases, and encyclopedias in theological library collections; indexes and databases for theological studies; important journals; the different categories of theological monographs; collection development policies; special collections in theological libraries; dealing with gifts and donors; and professional development resources for theological librarians.
