Doctor David Ford
Dr. David Ford is Professor of Church History at St. Tikhon’s Seminary in South Canaan, Pennsylvania. He went to college at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, where he majored in History. Immediately after graduation he went to Liberia, West Africa, as a volunteer in the United States Peace Corps; he served there for three years in the field of education. Upon returning, he entered the M.Div. program at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Here he learned about the Early Church, and through his continuing study of the facts of Church History, he realized that only Holy Orthodoxy has preserved the fullness of the Christian Faith.
Having graduated with an M.Div. degree, he then began the Ph.D. program in Church History and Historical Theology at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. His wife, Dr. Mary Sanford Ford also works at St. Tikhon’s as Associate Professor of New Testament, and together they have co-written several books together.
