All Master of Divinity candidates who register their intention to seek placement in the ministerium of Lutheran Church—Canada are eligible for the Theological Diploma. The Theological Diploma certifies that the candidate has demonstrated his doctrinal commitment and personal suitability for the public ministry of Lutheran Church—Canada through satisfactory academic, practical, and personal development.
The faculty grants Theological Diplomas upon the recommendation of the Standing Committee on Certification for Placement. CLS reserves the right to request that additional course work or reading assignments be completed before a Theological Diploma is awarded. |
| Application Notes : | The Ministerial Program Committee interviews all entering Master of Divinity students twice during their first year to advise the faculty regarding their suitability for pastoral ministry. Upon its favourable recommendation, the faculty may admit the student to the pastoral track leading to the Theological Diploma.
Students admitted according to the Non-Degree Admission Policy will only be admitted to the pastoral track leading to the Theological Diploma after they have also demonstrated the ability to do consistent graduate level work for at least one year. |
