Graduation and Awards Ceremony

Visit of Prof. I. Howard Marshall 

We are enthusiastically looking forward to the forthcoming visit to Dumisani of the internationally acclaimed New Testament Scholar, Prof. I. Howard Marshall (Emeritus Professor of New Testament Exegesis at the University of Aberdeen; former President of the British New Testament Society and Chair of the Fellowship of European Evangelical Theologians). 

Prof. Marshall's main scholarly interests have been Luke-Acts, the Pastoral Epistles, and aspects of New Testament theology. He is the author of many New Testament commentaries and books. 

Prof. Marshall will address Dumisani students at our annual graduation and awards ceremony and speak at other gatherings during his time with us in King William's Town. The details are as follows.

Please note the different venue for lecture three on "Paul’s Theology of Mission in Romans."

Recruiting Now

The sign, ‘Recruiting Now,’ posted outside a fast food outlet may not seem quite appropriate to the calmer, more measured, academic ethos of a Theological Institute, but the need is much the same.  

 
Within the next two years or so Dumisani expects to lose two members of teaching staff. 

The Rev. Norman Reid (left), who has taught at Dumisani for over a decade, plans to retire in 2011 and return to Ireland. Dr. John Ross (right) will reach retirement age in 2012, and at the same time come to the end of his four year’s contract with Dumisani.

Both lecturers teach a range of subjects including Systematic Theology and Church History, two core subjects in any degree level theological course.

Now is not too early to be looking for replacements. We would value your support as we do so. There are a number of things you could do to help.

1 Pray that God's providence will bring the Dumisani Board of Governors into contact with those who will take their place, so that a smooth transition may be effected. 

2 Make the needs known.

3 Consider applying yourself.

Accepted candidates will commit themselves to Dumisani’s Basis of Faith and hold appropriate degrees at Master’s or Doctor’s level. For further information please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , Dumisani’s Principal.
