UGST: Fully Accredited Graduate School
 

Endorsed by the Association of Theological Schools for 5 periods.

Here's there news update:

UGST is fully accredited!
Urshan Graduate School of Theology has received full accreditation from the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) for the maximum initial period of five years. ATS is the premier accrediting agency for graduate theological education recognized by the U.S. Government. Its accreditation is equal to that of the secular regional accrediting associations. Some schools offer credits through a contractual arrangement with secular or trinitarian colleges that are accredited, but do not have their own accreditation. Click on heading for further explanation.

Found it odd to say "some schools offer credits through a contractual arrangement with secular or trinitarian colleges tha are accredited, but do not have their own accredition."

#1 Appears to be a swipe at other UPCI-endorsed Bible schools, but probably more of a swipe against AST, the WPF school which has promoted itself heavily as the "only accredited Apostolic school."

#2 The mention of "trinitarian schools," along with "secular" schools seems a bit awkward.

Toby Stevens is featured. Is he still UPC?

The Journey Church of Anchorage website is quite nice. Definitely not in the mainstream culture.

Kerygma - I love the concept, look, feel. Who does Binion hang with theologically?
Great site too: http://www.kerygma.org/

Never heard of these pastors either. The pastor obtained an Mdiv from UGST (I wasn't aware they had the Mdiv program!).

no blood here.... I notice the lack of responses. :grampa Excellent news!

Re: UGST: Fully Accredited Graduate School
 

Doesn't need to be blood. I think it is great news that credibility CAN happen. However, we all know that an education is ONLY what one does with it, not where it comes from, although that IS important. :D

Re: UGST: Fully Accredited Graduate School
 

Totaly agree.

This was already discussed at length on another thread in several posts beginning here: http://www.apostolicfriendsforum.com...=30660&page=71

This is great news and congrats to all who worked so hard to bring this about.

Re: UGST: Fully Accredited Graduate School
 

I disagree.

DA and I both thought news that big deserved its own thread.
