All Saints' Hughes-Habel Pursing Divinity Degree

AUSTIN, TEXAS–
Deborah Hughes- Habel is completing her first semester of study at the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest.

Hughes-Habel, who came to the seminary from All Saints' Church in Salt Lake City last August, is enrolled in the threeyear master of divinity degree program.

She will take part in a Hispanic Immersion Project with other divinity students during the upcoming January Term. After on-campus presentations on an array of Hispanic/Latino issues, the group will travel to the border area around Piedras Negras, Mexico, to observe the vibrant and daily ministries of El Buen Pastor. The students will also spend a long weekend with Hispanic church families throughout Texas.

Founded after World War II by then Texas Bishop Coadjutor John Hines, the Seminary of the Southwest enrolls 105 students in a variety of degree programs. About one-half are divinity students with the other being working lay people who are enrolled in the part-time master of arts degrees in pastoral ministry (discipleship, spiritual formation or chaplaincy) and counseling.
