Congratulations on becoming the new President of ATS! I'm very excited for you and them (my old alma mater, M.Div., 1989).

I pray that Asbury continues to effectively train men and women for fruitful ministry across the Wesleyan theological spectrum (I have been Free Methodist; then United Methodist; now Global Methodist/retired).

Congratulations Rev. Dr. David F. Watson. The cap really fits. Praying for a wonderful adventure as you and the family head to Wilmore! You will be greatly missed at United Theological Seminary but the “World is Your Parish.” May God richly bless your tenure as President at Asbury Theological Seminary.
