Some family housing is available on the campus as well as in the surrounding area. The Portland and Hanover campuses serve commuter students. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. Two days every two-three weeks, allowing for development of lasting friendships, common meals, shared worship experiences, and opportunities to be teachers of one another. What I believe is foundational to the Bangor D.Min.
Program is the collegial learning style which is evident from day one.
Being able to share with faculty and ministerial colleagues around a table of learning and reflection was a wonderful part of the class process. I also appreciated resources which made the educational process extremely relevant in this post-Christendom period of ecclesial uncertainty. In a very real way it gave me a road map for ministry. I would definitely encourage those exploring the possibility of taking a doctoral program to strongly consider a D.Min. from Bangor.
