And Moore College gives thanks –

“… Dudley trained at Moore when Marcus Loane was principal, between 1956 and 1958 and took out the London BD in 1959. His studies continued and he received Th. Schol. in 1968 and a D Min from Fuller Seminary in 1983. He lectured at the College for seven years and served as Dean of Students. …  In every sphere of ministry in which Dudley served there are stories of growth and encouragement and godly leadership. At Moore College we especially remember his commitment to the Bible and his determination to help men and women exercise a faithful, fruitful and enduring Christian ministry.”
