In 1971, he received a Masters of Religious Education Degree (M.R.E.) from Los Angeles Baptist Seminary. Later on Dolphus received a Masters in Educational Administration (M.

He returned to Mississippi to work with Voice of Calvary/Mendenhall Ministries, a multi-faceted Christian Community Development ministry, where he served from 1971 through 1997.

Though simultaneously justified and sinful, like each of us, the church cannot throw up its hands in the face of the racial division that threatens its call to visible unity in faith and love.
Study after study confirms that more African-Americans claim to be Protestant Christians than any other group, affirm core Christian and evangelical doctrines; are more likely to attend church regularly and engage in daily Bible reading and
