The International School of Theology has a provision of granting the degree of Doctor of Divinity — D.D (Honoris Causa) to well deserving persons.

As an earned doctorate degree is awarded to a person who shows promise of accomplishing something exceptional for the human race, so an honorary doctorate degree is also given to a person who has already achieved such work.

The honorary doctorate is an ʺearned” degree, but earned by those who have actually produced a doctoral level results in the real world.
Criteria: The recipient of an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree must have contributed in an exceptional way to the furtherance of the gospel and service to humanity for an extended period of time — and be obviously deserving of such an honor.
