All Saints Bible College. I know nothing about religious programs, but since we are celebrating All Saints this weekend, I thought I'd post the story. Snippet: The new All Saints Bible College at historic Mason Temple will serve as a monument to education for thousands coming to town next week for the Holy Convocation of the Church of God in Christ. ... Degrees are offered in urban ministries, pastoral ministries and other majors. Certificate programs include courses in Old Testament, New Testament, women in ministry, pastoral counseling, church administration and homiletics (preaching), Wells said. ... The school is seeking accreditation from the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges and the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. In January, the college will launch its distance learning program where students can take courses online via computers, said Dr. Rodney Sampson, chief information officer. Administrators are leaning toward offering a leadership course as the inaugural online class to "set the tone for laity." ...
Given the vast numerical expansion of COGIC and its willingness to try new things, if anybody can pull off lay-oriented accredited theological DL, they can. Wish my own group had the nerve to try it.
