DMIN Program and Candidacy Handbook LIBERTY UNIVERSITY JOHN W. RAWLINGS SCHOOL OF DIVINITY Doctor of Ministry PROGRAM AND CANDIDACY HANDBOOK This page deliberately left blank Welcome to the Doctor of Ministry Program Dear Doctor of Ministry Researchers, Welcome to your studies in the Liberty University John W. Rawlings School of Divinity Doctoral Studies Division. I am Dr. Adam McClendon, director of the Doctor of Ministry program. You join a group of men and women who are seeking to advance their knowledge in one of the program’s cognates, and who are conducting cutting-edge research related to that cognate during their candidacy for the degree. Doctor of Ministry students come from diverse backgrounds, but the one thing everyone has in common is that God has called you into ministry leadership. You also have in mind the expansion of the Kingdom of God through analysis and improvements for your unique ministry setting. The School of Divinity faculty who teach and mentor students in the Doctor of Ministry are all seasoned ministry leaders in their own right. Some of them are the Subject Matter Experts for the courses that you will take to complete the course stage of this degree. Whether you are continuing this semester in the program or are starting with your first course, the faculty want to come alongside you as your teacher, your mentor, and your friend. They will push you to expand your knowledge in your cognate, and either guide you through the portfolio development or coach you on the research process, and offer constructive ways for you to improve your final Thesis Project. I will be praying for you as you proceed through the program. You can reach out to the Doctor of Ministry office anytime. The contact information is below.

Mason, one of the greatest of the founding fathers of the United States, is also among the least known. Mason’s greatness lies in the fact that he was the acknowledged LSDAS Recipient Code: 5827 leader among those pressing for a Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. Title IV (Financial Aid) Code: 003749 He persuaded Federalists, such as James Madison, that the new constitution would not be acceptable unless amendments safeguarding individual rights were included. Mason already had helped to draft the first constitution for an independent state, his native Virginia, in 1776. The state constitution begins with the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which he wrote. The declaration later was a model for the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, as well as the famous Declaration of the Rights of Man, pro- duced by the French Revolution in 1789.
