The Homemaking Concentration is part of The College at Southwestern, not a part of the graduate program in the seminary. The tuition is the same as other courses in our Bachelor's program as they all count towards a Bachelor's degree. And you are correct. A doctorof theology will not be teaching our nutrition and design courses. Rather we will be using faculty who have graduate studies in Family and Consumer Sciences (Home Economics). Blessings, Terri Stovall Southwestern Seminary Michael,

If this is true, then it needs to be changed so the classes that are exclusive to the degree ( not the greek and latin) are at discounted rates of tuition. after all, why does someone with a doctor of theology need to teach cooking classes?

As you pilot this degree program to success the other five will see the wisdom in it and shortly follow you guys with a similar idea. cb Dr. Stovall,

C.B. Thank you for your unwavering voice. I have watched your comments here and on other blogs. Your experiences have reinforced the vision for the priority of the home and its potential for ministry.

I am with CB on this one! Let's try and get the other seminaries to follow suit. And ALSO our Baptist colleges. so very very needed. My son was able to cook, sew, do laundry, iron and mother because of what I taught him at home and the home economics class he took in highschool. His wife didn't know how to do any of those things when they married. Why? because her mother didn't have time to teach her anything because she was working outside the home. What I want to know is why so many Southern Baptists seem ready to dump on something so needed in our society today? selahV YES! I am with CB on this one!

Thank you, Dr. Stovall. I have been fighting for this degree like a Walker Hound in a cage with twenty or thirty Bobcats because I know it is needed by many, many, young ministry couples out there today. Why don't you lobby to get this degree started in the other five SBC seminaries? They need it also. cb Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

I do pray that it did not stray to far from what you were trying to say. We kept what we felt was the subject line that was being addressed. If in the future we address the issues you raised, feel free to post those thoughts. If this does not meet your approval let Brother Robin know as he is emailing you. Brother Ray, First, it is 10pm on the east coast. I do not know what time zone you are in but, I have to get to bed. I did desire to respond to your comment. My wife is a stay-at-home mom. Therefore, the church Brother Robin referenced would not have been any problem for us. As you can tell Brother Robin's wife sees her time in the public schools as her ministry and I strongly support her in that effort. My wife sees her ability to volunteer when she can and address needs in our daughter's school whenever she can as her ministry. Two Godly ladies that are fulfilling their respective places of ministry to which God has called them. The degree at SWBTS is not a degree arranged to keep the women in the kitchen. As Dr. Stovall stated it is a degree to enable a woman to fulfill a calling that God has placed on her life. Thanks for the time and good night from the east coast. A;so known as God's state. That is the reason he painted the sky Carolina Blue. LOL. Blessings, Tim Sister Debbie,
