We have a number of pastors around here who use the title “Doctor”. They have a PhD In Theology. It seems popular with specific Protestant denominations. It is used predominantly by black pastors but, I have met a few white pastors who use it as well. Is that normal or something popular after King?

The pastor in our church when I was a kid in the 1950s had a doctorate in theology and was called “Dr.”

King's niece Alveda works as a contributor on Fox. I've never heard her use the “Dr.” title herself but all of the Fox regulars fall all over themselves calling her Dr. KIng everytime that she's on their show.
She holds an earned MA, but her PhD is honorary.
Seems people like that title.
