To Whom It May ConcernThis is to certify that Elder Samuel Nina Ortiz Represents our first candidate to our Didascalar Doctorate in Divinity program approved by the Brethren United Apostolic Church Ministry, the Didascálica Brethren United Theological University and the Master Divinity College, an association of non-profit educational institutions incorporated under The Dominican Republic Laws of Non Profits Organizations. The Didascalar Doctorate in Divinity (D.D.D: three-D, or 3-D, for short) in the context of the Brethren United Apostolic Church is a high Ecclesiastical degree especially designed for holders of LL.L. (Licentiate in law) who are active members of the Brethren United Apostolic Church and granted by the Didascalar Doctorate in Divinity School at Yunasville Heights by virtue of its Commission as an Ecclesiastical Entity worth of the highest merit that a Christian Institution could ever achieve. The LL. L. (Licentiate in Law) is a Dominican Republic degree ranking with M. L. (Master of Law); M.C.L. (Master of Civil Law); and, LL. M. (Master of Laws). By Didascalar Doctorate in Divinity it is meant to complete the utmost scientific Didascalical formation through the following areas of study: A) 1. Biblical Languages—Latin, Greek & Hebrew—Introduction to Coptic/ Intermediate Coptic Readings. 2. Modern Languages—English, Spanish & French. B) 1. The writing of a paper or project on didascalar theology: The paper (roughly 60 pages) or equivalent project will synthesize the theological concentration and the general theological component; i. e.: Methods in teaching biblical doctrines based on the originals (old testament Hebrew Scriptures and the new testament Greek Scriptures); or, 2. a law project of rules or regulations on religious freedom recognizing the rights of all men and women to act in accordance with or conformable to their own religious convictions. C) The writing of a doctoral dissertation, to foster broad knowledge of the discipline, and to demonstrate original research with critical knowledge of Didascalionomics in teaching the doctrine of the Apostolic Faith According to the Holy Scriptures in the context of the judicious administration of justice and the sound application of the laws pertaining to human rights, environmental conservation, personal convictions & religious freedom. The College Faculty has been touched in the implementation of this Particular degree by the passion which has motivated the Apostolic Church through the centuries in the study of the doctrine contained in the Word of God. Therefore the supreme eagerness of the College is that even those who scrutinize the Didascalical Teaching System from a critical perspective, may be positively impulsed to recognise the Church effort and good will in proclaiming the present truth of salvation by enlighting the world with the supremely majestic and marvellous doctrines of the everlasting gospel: “Teaching (didaskontes) them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen. (Mat 28: 20) It is with such a purpose in mind that the Church have implemented the conferment of this especial degree. The Didascalar Doctorate in Divinity has been designed for holder of LL.L. (Licentiate in laws) or equivalent who are active members of the Brethren United Apostolic Faith. The 3-D. will be conferred upon students who successfully completed two years practise of biblical languages, a presentation of work in didascalionomics, and a written and a practical examination process in didascalar theology. English Compulsary. At the successful completion of their thesis and defence, qualified 3-D. students will be recommended by their thesis committees for traditional levels of distinction (i.e., Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude), which will be conferred upon those students by and at the discretion of the School.We hope to contribute toward both scholastic and practical excellence for each and every candidate as they prepare for excellency in the ministry of the Word of God.
