Re: SEU (Southern Eastern University) updates

Please note Theology (as opposed to Law, History, etc) is in a class by itself. There is no regional accreditation for a pure theology degree. The highest standard is Association of Theological Schools http://www.ats.edu/Pages/default.aspx. There are several other layers below that.

The point being a majority of “religious” degrees are not from regionally accredited programs. But just because a school is not accredited does NOT make them a diploma mill.

Pel, I am positive that AST advertised as "fully accredited" prior to Hope. They used to print out publications with this information. They were very proud of it. I know they previously had an affiliation with Patten University in Oakland, so I'm thinking they did the same piggy-back deal with them.
AST was accredited through another school before Hope. I can't remember the name of the school. My understanding (which is very limited) is that an AST degree is really a Hope degree. They must be acting as some sort of virtual satellite to Hope. I believe they are legitimate.

Re: SEU (Southern Eastern University) updates

Hello all

Upon receiving this surprising information regarding these profound allegations concerning SEU and ICW I have decided that it is needful to sever ties with such institutions. I received Honorary PhD recognition through SEU through an interested contact and had no idea of its controversies. Although I transferred credits and enrolled in ICW and after many years graduated through distance learning, due to the surprised surrounding controversies, I have decided to sever all connection.
It is right to operate under high ethical standards, and I greatly apologize for any damage this has caused. I want my ministry to be one of humility and meekness. Know that I am working diligently to update my websites and info.

Regards, appreciate your prayers

Extremely gracious and well spoken. And your ties with your English "lawyer" who was taking "legal action" ?

I hope nobody follows this pastor's example in an emergency situation. If you want to pray, pray in the waiting room and don't interfere.
I know that those Aussies are an informal bunch - but I have a hard time picturing the surgeons standing there with their huge Crocodile Dundee bush knives in hand and getting ready to gut poor Lee with "Pastor Slack" in the operating theater as well, when the good pastor saves our suffering protagonist from the Fosters drinking slashers.

Knight, You certainly have my prayers. While this post is astounding, your stature and integrity immediately benefit in the eyes of myself and others who do not know you outside of this recent thread. I am sure the same is true of your peers and those who otherwise know you.
