"I commuted a total of ten hours per week round trip to attend Central. And if I had to do any of it over again, I would do it the same.

The community of faith, and the knowledgeable, erudite, compassionate, passionate and spiritual leadership was beyond compare.

I must admit, seminary did change me...and I am forever indebted to Our Triune God and God's work manifested in CBTS for beginning this incredible "change" in me.

He served in the Coast Guard during World War II for three years, 1943-1946, earning Four Bronze Stars and the Asiatic-Pacific Ribbon. Douglas was a contented resident of Shawnee, Kansas, where in retirement he enjoyed sitting on his deck, grilling for his wife and friends, and sharing life with a theologically attentive schnauzer, Wilfred. Douglas was a member of Prairie Baptist Church.
Family and friends are invited to a time of visitation at 1:00 p.m. and funeral service at 2:30 on Friday, May 28, at Prairie Baptist Church, 7416 Roe Avenue, Prairie Village, KS 66208.

In this season of Pentecost in the Christian year, the people of God will celebrate resurrection hope in the power of the Spirit.
