Dr. Donald D. Denton, Dr. Chan Young Park, and Dr. Douglas M. Thorpe are busy conducting courses at the undergraduate and graduate level at several institutions of higher education.

Dr. Donald D. Denton began teaching at the University of Maryland University College (now University of Maryland Global Campus) in 2008 while completing a Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Homeland Security and Emergency Management at the Douglas L. Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University. Academic degrees in ministry and psychotherapy plus his publication history and continuing interests in the fields of international relations, intelligence gathering, and the history of religion combined with a military background and teaching at Virginia Institute of Pastoral Care was a good fit for the university’s developing curriculum and program

Dr. Chan Young Park teaches graduate students at three different schools: Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MBTS, Kansas City, MO), Central Baptist Theological Seminary (CBTS, Shawnee, KS), and Virginia Christian University (VACU, Chantilly, VA).

Dr. Douglas M. Thorpe taught Pastoral Assessment, Diagnosis, and Psychopathology for Wesley Theological Seminary (located in Washington, D.C.) in May 2022. The course is integral to the “Soul Care” track of Wesley’s Doctor of Ministry program. Because the class was offered online, students were able to join from any location. A chaplain and therapist in the U.S. Army joined from a base in East Asia.
