The Association of Theological Schools/ATS
Editor’s Note: The World Evangelical Fellowship/WEF’s role
in theological education is comprehensive and global; encompassing the planning
and development for all theological curriculum and leadership
development. WEF’s name has been changed [2001] to World Evangelical Alliance.
The Association of Theological Schools/ATS serves as the accrediting
agency for most post graduate theological study and for most of the seminaries
in the U.S. and Canada. ATS plays a pivotal role in the transformation of
the church. Consider the fact that ATS accredited schools train the
majority of all U.S. pastors and theological professors. Add to this the
questionable and extensive partnerships between ATS accredited institutions and
the private foundations; through the largesse of the foundations, which are run
by powerful corporations, ATS is virtually under their control. But this
coexistence is how it was designed to be.

WEF’s ICETE/ International Council for Evangelical
Theological Education, 1980
< http://www.worldevangelical.org/textonly/3icete.htm
“ICETE's history is rooted in the emergence of networks of evangelical
theological schools in the third world during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
From among these new associations came a call in 1978 for some means by which
they might be in regular contact and collaboration
at the international level. The WEF
Theological Commission agreed to sponsor the project, and ICETE was formed in
March, 1980, at meetings in Hoddlesdon, England. In the years since its
founding ICETE has become an established
international forum for dialogue and cooperation among evangelical theological
educators. ICETE has also taken a leading role in fostering renewal and
excellence in evangelical theological education worldwide. And ICETE has sought
to ensure that the interests and concerns
of theological education are effectively voiced within the larger venues of
evangelical cooperation globally. ICETE's membership now covers all major
regions of the world…” emphasis added
“ICETE
is a global community, sponsored by seven continental networks of theological
schools, to encourage international interaction and collaboration among all
those concerned for the enhancement of evangelical theological education
worldwide.”

role in the Transformation of the Church. Consider the fact that ATS accredited
schools train the majority of all U.S. pastors and theological professors.
After reading about ATS, below, it is hoped that the reader will understand how
all Christians are strongly influenced by what is happening in the “schools of
divinity.”

“The
Association of Theological Schools has functioned as an accrediting agency
since 1936. ATS member schools conduct post-baccalaureate degree programs
designed to prepare persons for a wide variety of positions of ministerial
leadership and teaching and research in the theological disciplines…The
Association of Theological Schools, through its Commission on Accrediting, is
recognized by the United States Secretary of Education for the accreditation
and pre-accreditation of freestanding theological schools…”

“At
the present time there is no important foundation in this country that is not
controlled, usually directly but sometimes indirectly, by the Rockefellers or
their agents, to be converted to the propaganda, conspiracies and other uses of
the Rockefeller Empire.” ~ Emanuel Josephson, Rockefeller "Internationalist", NY: Chedney Press,
1952, p. 91. |
The Fund for
Theological Education – History
< http://www.thefund.org/about/history/index.html
“The Fund for Theological Education was established
in the early 1950s as a response to a perceived
crisis in Protestant theological education. At that time, a group of
influential seminary educators, clergy, and interested lay persons had become
convinced that the quality of those entering the ministry had declined and that
many of the best and brightest students were
choosing professional careers outside the ministry. In order to encourage
talented college graduates to consider the ministry, an unprecedented
initiative was launched in 1954 to attract promising but otherwise undecided
candidates to seminary education. Begun in close
affiliation with the American Association of Theological Schools , the Fund for
Theological Education grew both in scope and size over the next forty years and
became a leading force in support of excellence in theological study …
“A new kind of scholarship program for theological education
was envisioned in 1953 by two nationally known educators, Nathan Pusey, President of Harvard University, and Henry Pitney Van Dusen, President of Union Theological Seminary,
New York…Pusey and Van Dusen were not alone, and they were able to convince the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund to support a new
initiative that would enable highly qualified college graduates considering but
undecided on a ministerial career to enroll in an exploratory year of
theological studies. In 1954 an eminent board of directors was established
under Pusey's leadership in close cooperation with
the American Association of Theological Schools to guide the new
program…”

numerous books in the field of psychology and spirituality, he is the Series Editor of the Paulist Press series on Jungian
Psychology and World Spiritual Traditions, an
interdisciplinary series relating psychoanalytic insight to
the major traditions of human spirituality. A comprehensive
list of his audiotaped lectures and books on psychology and spirituality is
available through the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. Dr. Moore is perhaps most widely known for his work on ritual
leadership and the masculine psyche. His five volume series on masculine psychology and spirituality (co-authored with mythologist Douglas Gillette) is the most influential theory of masculinity in today's
international discussion. The structural psychoanalysis outlined in these books
has put him at the forefront of theory in masculine psychology, masculine
spirituality, and masculine initiation. These volumes, include King, Warrior, Magician, Lover:
Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine; The King Within; The
Warrior Within; The Magician Within; and The Lover Within.

Evangelicals
and Catholics: A New Partnership
We're fighting the culture war with 'an ecumenism of the trenches'
Roman Catholics in the United
States have been in the middle of a passionate public debate lately, about the
tensions between churchly authority and academic freedom in Catholic higher
education. Since I am a seminary president…
I have a vested interest in what
goes on in contemporary Catholicism, having devoted considerable energy in
recent years to evangelical-Catholic dialogue…
All of this was forever changed
for me in the 1960s. The Second Vatican Council, convened by Pope John XXIII to
open the windows of the Roman Catholic Church to the breezes of theological
change, has been one of the great spiritual events of my lifetime. In my
continuing efforts to be a faithful Christian in a "post-Christian"
culture, I have regularly looked to Roman Catholics for companionship—and
often, wisdom and inspiration--on the path of discipleship.
Nor am I alone in this.
Evangelical theologian Timothy George [see Beeson Divinity School founder
above] has pointed to an important new phenomenon that he labels "an
ecumenism of the trenches," where evangelicals and Roman Catholics have
found common cause on a number of social issues, and are even increasingly
finding occasions for praying and studying the Bible together.
Evangelicals and Roman Catholics
have exciting new opportunities for dialogue and cooperation. And as we talk
and work together, we may actually learn some new things about what it means to
serve our Living Lord in a contemporary world in which we can emphasize the
strength of our common convictions, even as we continue to engage in friendly
arguments about the important things that still divide us.

Interviews Presidential Candidate George W. Bush
In the final weeks of the
election, George W. Bush discussed his faith and policies with Editor-in-Chief,
Steve Waldman.
< http://www.beliefnet.com/frameset.asp?pageLoc=/story/47/story_4703_1.html&boardID=7200
~ excerpt…
BELIEFNET: Do you
think that all major religions are equally true?
BUSH: I think
that we're all God's children, and far be it from me, as a lowly sinner, trying
to decide who gets to go to heaven and who doesn't, for example. I mean at one
time, in 1994, I said, "My faith says you must accept Christ to go to
heaven." And there was a significant backlash because, as typical in
politics, the full story wasn't told. And there was a typical backlash amongst,
you know, some Jewish people in Texas that basically felt I had said that they
can't go to heaven. I worked hard to make it clear to people, far be it from me
to tell you I get to decide who goes. I'm working on myself. I'm focused on me.
And so to answer your question,
there are great religions in the world, and it's important to recognize that
there are great religions in the world. And there are many shared tenets of the
great religions. "Love a neighbor like you'd like to be loved
yourself." And there are some wonderful callings. I just happen to be a
Christian…
BELIEFNET: If you
believe that the way to the Kingdom of God for you is Jesus Christ, in a sense
don't you have a moral obligation to try to urge other people to follow the
same path?
BUSH: Not in
my line of work I don't. My line of work is political. My line of work [my job]
is to walk the walk, and respect others, and respect their religions. And
secondly, I'm not so presumptuous as to play God. There are many great
religions in the world.
God is all-powerful and
all-knowing, and, you know, we'll never know until we get to heaven the
ultimate answers to many of the religious questions. But the president of the
United States' job is not to try to convert people to religion. The president
of the United States' job is to set an example, to make sound decisions, to
respect religion, and, if asked, to herald religion. But the key is not to hold
out, you know, my religion is better than yours…

This innovative school [Fuller’s
School of World Mission] began in 1965 with thirteen students and a vision
shared by seminary founder Charles Fuller, President David Allan Hubbard,
and Donald A. McGavran, founding dean of the School of World Mission. Dr.
McGavran's vision continues to be strongly felt as a driving force of the
School. He saw his ministry as a rediscovery of the original focus of the
Christian mission which is to communicate the Gospel so that people repent and
put their faith in Christ and become his followers in the context of
worshiping, nurturing, serving bodies which we call churches. He believed these
churches should grow and multiply but that they
should not look the same in every culture.
