  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Duo Callings???

Does anyone have any information about online graduate divinity degrees....basically the M.Div.??

I sense I've been called and it's been confirmed :thumbsup: but then I also feel a calling for medicine :doh: Now I would like to find a program I can start, while I finish the prereqs for medical school.

Any recommendations, experiences, or suggestions in this?

Finish the med stuff first. Get the quailifications. Then maybe look at a B.min degree or similar. Maybe you are being called to a "Tentmaker" type ministry?
Just a thought!

I have to take my prereq courses in the evening. My thought so far is to take 2 classes/semester at RTS and 1 class/semester of my sciences. Thereby finishing the MAR and premed reqs at the same time.

Forgive my ignorance but what exactly is a "tentmaker type ministry"?

I guess my real concern is the training to get into each calling. If I focus on just the premed my path would be entirely medicine for the next decade or more. If I'm able to do both then I would at the least have a MAR. Sure it would take longer to get to medical school but once there I have the education to be able to contribute at my church. I'm not a young buck so another year or two isn't going to mean anything in regard to medical school.

I've been searching for accredited online programs which follow reformed theology and it show ain't easy.

BTW, THANKS! :thumbsup:
