Duke Divinity School seeks to engage the life of the church in an increasingly interconnected world. This mission derives from Christ’s invitation to share in God’s love for the world as well as God’s call for unity in diversity throughout the church.

Through a variety of programs and initiatives, the Divinity School encourages students to explore the wider world as part of their education and formation. The school also seeks to contribute in meaningful ways to the international growth of Duke University as a whole.

In addition to providing students with opportunities for learning and service around the world, the Divinity School encourages faculty to develop cross-cultural research programs that in turn inform course development and teaching. Divinity School faculty members regularly travel to other countries in pursuit of teaching and research, and various school programs draw distinguished participants from around the world.

The Spirituality of Mother Teresa in Haiti

The Chaplain’s Office invites interested Divinity School students to join a mission/retreat to Haiti over Spring Break, March 5-13, 2011. “The Spirituality of Mother Teresa in Haiti” will be led by Rev. Sally Bates, chaplain, and Rev. Lisa Yebuah, D'04.

The servant ministry and incarnational theology of Mother Teresa of Calcutta will be the lens through which we encounter the lives of the Haitian people. Our work will be focused on earthquake reconstruction, building relationships in the schools and working alongside the Missionaries of Charity at their various mission sites in Haiti.

Space is limited and applications are due on October 25, 2010.

Contact Rev. Sally Bates for more information.
