INTRODUCTION
My name is Douglas M. Beaumont, I am an educator and manager with various qualifications in both areas. I earned a Ph.D. in theology from North-West University and an M.A. in apologetics from Southern Evangelical Seminary, where I taught for many years before coming into full communion with the Catholic Church.
