At CDSP, ministry is learned not only in the classroom but also in pulpits, hospitals, and vestry meetings. Field Education, in which students serve local parishes, agencies, or chaplaincies, is a vital, integral part of the M.Div. program.
The School for Deacons of the Diocese of California, with offices on the CDSP campus, manages CDSP’s field education program. The School for Deacons manages all aspects of the Field Education Program, including placement, learning contracts, weekly seminars, and evaluations.
