The concentration in Catholic studies provides a structure for MDiv students to focus their coursework on issues of particular relevance for effective ministry and research in Catholic contexts and to pursue contextual education in a Catholic parish, school, hospital, or other organization. Candler’s affiliation with the Aquinas Center of Theology further enhances the Catholic presence at Candler and provides a range of programmatic and academic offerings that engage the Catholic community in the Atlanta area. In addition to coordinating the concentration, the Catholic Studies program sponsors chapel worship, the annual Aquinas Day celebration and lecture, and other Catholic-focused programming throughout the year. For more information on the program, email Dr. Tony Alonso, director of Catholic Studies, at antonio.alonso@emory.edu.

Chaplaincy

Candler students enrolled in the Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree program may select a concentration in Chaplaincy to focus their studies and experiences while in seminary. The concentration in Chaplaincy introduces students to the breadth of contexts in which one can serve in caregiving ministry while also providing depth in the practices of spiritual care. This concentration is ideal for those seeking APC board certification as a chaplain, eventual pursuit of licensing as a pastoral counselor, or other nonprofit leadership roles that require significant direct care of spiritual needs.

Episcopal/Anglican Studies

The Episcopal/Anglican Studies program at Candler School of Theology is a fellowship dedicated to the formation and equipping of students for ministry in the Episcopal Church and all the churches in the Anglican Communion.

The primary gathering of the program is the weekly Solemn Evensong and Holy Eucharist, held in Cannon Chapel or the Wesley Teaching Chapel every Wednesday of the school year at 5:00 p.m. Other events include guest lectures by important figures in Anglicanism, periodic meetings of all Anglican and Episcopal students at Candler for discussion and fellowship, and courses taught by world-class scholars and teachers on the Candler faculty who are also active communicants of the Episcopal or Anglican Church.

Methodist Studies

A full range of opportunities for study and growth is available including assistance with processes of candidacy and preparation for commissioning and first appointments; hosting denominational guests and conference representatives; and providing programs on pertinent denominational issues. For further information, contact Brett Opalinski, Associate Dean of Methodist Studies, bopalin@emory.edu or 404.727.1351.

Ordination in The United Methodist Church

As noted in The Book of Discipline, “within the church community, there are persons whose gifts, evidence of God’s grace, and promise of future usefulness are affirmed by the community and who respond to God’s call by offering themselves in leadership as ordained ministers.” Ordained deacons are called to ministries of word, service, compassion, and justice. Those called to ministry of service, word, sacrament, and order serve as elders.

Candidacy for United Methodist Ordination

Those preparing for ordination in The United Methodist Church explore the call to ministry through a formal process of inquiry and candidacy as required in The Book of Discipline. Students interested in exploring the call to ministry are encouraged to begin the process before starting seminary by contacting the pastor of his/her local church, another ordained deacon or elder, or their district superintendent. Courtesy mentoring is available to students far from home upon the written approval of their district superintendents and home conference mentors. (Note: Students must have begun the candidacy process to be eligible for some United Methodist scholarships.)

Mentoring and Support for Discernment and Preparation for Ordination

Support for students working through the process of candidacy and application to their Conference boards of ordained ministry is provided through one-on-one consultation with the Associate Dean of Methodist Studies and through a variety of programs tailored to address the issues that arise at each of the stages of the process.

Course Requirements for Ordination in The United Methodist Church

The Book of Discipline requires specific courses in United Methodist history, doctrine, and polity. In addition, The Book of Discipline requires courses in evangelism, mission, and worship. Some conferences require specific courses of their students. Students are responsible for knowing if their conference has additional requirements. Persons applying for deacons orders have two options. First, if a student is under 35, he or she must complete the MDiv degree. Second, if a student is over 35 and has a master’s degree in the area in which one will be working in ministry (e.g., social work, counseling, law, or business management), then one may pursue the master of religious leadership (MRL) and shape it to fit the Basic Graduate Theological Studies format. Persons preparing for elders orders take the Basic Graduate Theological Studies courses as a part of the MDiv degree. Some annual conferences may have additional or more specific requirements (e.g. the North Georgia Annual Conference requires both the Preaching course (a requirement beyond the BGTS for candidates in that Conference) and the Theology (ST) course to be taken in-person).

Basic Graduate Theological Education The Book of Discipline 2016 ¶324.4.a

The Book of Discipline requires courses in ten subjects basic to graduate theological studies in preparation for ordination. Some annual conference Boards of Ordained Ministry expect candidates to take an introductory survey course covering a particular subject, especially if the candidate does not have previous background in that subject. Other boards will accept any course within a particular subject (as indicated by the course prefix, such as M for missions). Some annual conferences may have additional or more specific requirements (e.g. the North Georgia Annual Conference requires both the Preaching course (a requirement beyond the BGTS for candidates in that Conference) and the Theology (ST) course to be taken in-person). Students are responsible for consulting with their board to be certain of its policy. The following courses in Candler’s curriculum meet the basic requirements (depending on your board’s policy):

Students are encouraged to make appointments or join in meals with conference visitors.

Professional certification is The United Methodist Church’s recognition that an individual has been called in an area of specialized ministry. The church certification in specialized ministry is offered by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. Candler offers certain courses which fulfill various requirements for certification studies in the UMC. Professional certification provides biblical and theological training, knowledge of The United Methodist Church structure and resources, skill development, support, and accountability. Professional certification is available to lay persons, ordained deacons and elders, and diaconal ministers who meet the standards set by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. All nondegree certification and graduate theological studies students who register with the Board of Higher Education and Ministry may be eligible for scholarship assistance from the board. Paraprofessional United Methodist certifications are available, and more information can be found on the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry website.
