One student brother of our St. Dominic Center of Studies defended his Theology Thesis successfully on February 7, 2013 at the Faculty of Christian Studies of the Catholic University of St. Joseph, Macau.
Brother Sebastian Lee, O. P., a simply professed Dominican Brother from Korea presented to a Tribunal of three theologians his Thesis entitled “Paul’s Polemic against the Law in Galatians 3.†After his presentation with the help of the colorful slides of his Power Point Presentation, he answered very aptly the questions of the tribunal. Bro. Sebastian passed this difficult test with flying colors, and got a Magna cum Laude. The members of the Tribunal of Examiners were Professors Fausto Gomez, O. P., Chairman; Joao Eleuterio, chief examiner, and Arnold Monera, Supervisor of the Thesis. After his outstanding performance, the three members of the Tribunal wholeheartedly congratulated Bro. Sebastian.
