Praise be to God, Fr. Pishoy has successfully defended his thesis on January 9th and was granted the degree Doctor of Ministry. The defence which came at the end of a five year degree from the University of Toronto, was the conclusion after writing a dissertation entitled “Of All Nations: Exploring Intercultural Marriages in the Coptic Orthodox Church of the GTA”. The defence which was attended by H.G. Bishop David, Fr. Abraam Kamal, Fr. Daniel Hanna, and many church members, took place at the Toronto School of Theology. After several hours of questions and deliberation by the examining committee, the recommendation was to grant Fr. Pishoy the degree. May our Lord use this academic endeavour for the glory of His name and for the edification of His people.
