An "intro to CBTS"
The president of Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary, Wilfred Fon, has a new blog. His first post is a short "intro to CBTS":
"The Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary is a small school by the world’s standards. However, by Cameroon standards we know no seminary with that high a population. We have a student body of 380 this academic year. We have on the faculty three earned doctorates, two doctoral candidates, 7 masters degree holders, 2 masters degree candidates, 3 bachelors degree holders and some diploma and certificate holders. We have an eleven man staff. Together CBTS employs about 33 men and women to carry out her daily functions. Of these 33 only 4 are missionaries.
"The levels for training rage from Child Care and nursery school given to 0-5 years, adult grade school given to women who never had the privilege of going through grade seven school but are now feeling a call to serve the church or are students’ wives, 5 year certificate of theology for those with grade seven certificate who are called into the pastoral ministry, 3 year diploma for those with GCE ordinary level called into pastoral ministry, 3 year B. Th. for those with GCE Advanced Level called into ministry to perform other functions in addition to the pastoral ministry, and 2 to 3 year MA for those with a first degree from a recognized institution.
"CBTS has been in the business of training pastors for over 50 years. As an institution of higher learning she was upgraded in 1984 to be a degree granting institution."
