<p>CBX: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Trinity Graduate School of Apologetics and Theology''' is a conservative Christian School based in Kerala, India and is traditionally Reformed in doctrine. The majority of degrees obtained through Trinity are done so through distance learning over the internet. Trinity has students enrolled in over 140 countries around the world. <br /> <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> Trinity Graduate School was founded by the Calvin Research Group based in Kerala, India, which is geared toward educating Christians in strong Apologetics, Polemics, and Theology. It offers both Masters and Doctoral Programs in many fields of Christian learning. <br /> <br /> Trinity Graduate School of Apologetics and Theology is located on the campus of [http://www.cusat.edu/home.htm Cochin University of Science and Technology] in Kochi, Kerala, India.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochin_University_of_Science_and_Technology] <br /> <br /> == Accreditation ==<br /> <br /> Trinity is fully accredited by the [http://www.icaats.org.in International Council for Accrediting Alternate and Theological Studies (ICAATS)] based in Kerala, India. ICAATS is an evangelically conservative accreditation agency that is registered with the government of India. ICAATS is not recognized by the United Stated Department of Education because the School and the Accrediting agency are not based in the U.S. Neither is ICAATS a government approved agency because it is geared toward theological and religious education, which is private and therefore does not require government approval. Just as the USDE has nothing to do with theological accrediting agencies in the U.S., the Education Department in India has nothing to do with theological accrediting agencies in India. <br /> <br /> == Philip School ==<br /> <br /> [http://www.philipschool.info Philip School] is an offshoot of Trinity and offers undergraduate degrees in apologetics and theology. Like Trinity, Philip School is accredited by ICAATS and is based on the same principles of education. <br /> <br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> <br /> Official Website of [http://www.trinitytheology.org Trinity Graduate School of Apologetics and Theology].</div>

<p>CBX: </p> <hr /> <div>The Way of the Master Radio is a Christian talk show which is broadcast through local FM, satellite, and internet radio. The show is hosted by Todd Friel and is based on the award winning (NRB) reality based show Way of the Master, hosted by former child actor Kirk Cameron and Evangelist Ray Comfort. <br /> <br /> Way of the Master Radio is heard on over 150 radio stations in the United States and has recently begun broadcasting in Australia.[http://www.wayofthemasterradio.com/news.shtml] <br /> <br /> <br /> == Guest on WOTMR ==<br /> <br /> The Way of the Master Radio show has featured popular authors, speakers, and pastors from all over the world. Among some of the more familiar names in Evangelicalism who have been guests on the show are men like John MacArhtur, Albert Mohler, Mark Dever, Ken Ham, Os Guiness, Peter Hammond and many others. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Primary Themes ==<br /> <br /> The primary theme which the show seeks to center around is evangelism and equipping other Christians to do evangelism. Many times on the show they will do what is called &quot;streetfishing&quot; in which a man on the street (a &quot;street fisher&quot;) will randomly approach strangers and ask them if they would like to talk about spiritual issues on the radio. In these sessions, either Todd Friel himself, or one of the other co-hosts (Kirk or Ray) will share the gospel message with the person on the phone. This approach has received much praise and a bit of criticism by listeners. <br /> <br /> Other topics, such as theology and Christian life are discussed on the show. <br /> <br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> <br /> The Way of the Master Radio [http://www.wayofthemasterradio.com official website].</div>

<p>CBX: /* Alumni */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Louisiana Baptist University (LBU)''' is a conservative Christian University and Seminary located in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was originally founded in 1973 as Baptist Christian University under the auspices of Baptist Tabernacle in Shreveport, LA. Since its establishment it has graduated over 1,100 graduate and undergraduate students through on campus and distance learning programs. <br /> <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> Louisiana Baptist University was originally founded in 1973 as Christian Baptist University under the direction of Baptist Tabernacle in Shreveport, LA. Christian educators and church leaders decided that there was a great need to form an institution in Louisiana to train Christian leaders in the orthodox traditions of conservative Judeo-Christian education. LBU claims to be one of the pioneers of distance education and external degree programs and that many of the nations leading pastors hold degrees from the University.<br /> <br /> Since 1973 it has expanded its academic programs to include Christian Communications, Christian Counseling, and Christian Education. <br /> <br /> In 1993 the name of the University was changed to Louisiana Baptist University to accomodate the revised charter and the expanding programs. As part of its significant growth and development, the University has instituted a Seminary Division.[http://www.lbu.edu/machistory.html]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Facts About LBU ==<br /> <br /> Established: 1973<br /> <br /> President: Dr. Neal Weaver<br /> <br /> Faculty: 44<br /> <br /> Students: 1,100 undergraduate and graduate<br /> <br /> Location: Shreveport, Louisiana<br /> <br /> <br /> == Accreditation ==<br /> <br /> Louisiana Baptist University is not accredited by any accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Government, this is due mainly to the fact that LBU chooses not to seek accreditation. LBU is one of six approved colleges and universites of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International and those who graduate with a concentration in missions can be approved as a missionary for the fellowship.[http://www.bbfi.org/colleges.htm] LBU also has the approval of the Association of Christian Colleges and Theological Schools (ACCTS) which is a Christian agency involved in approving Christian schools. Though LBU is not regionally or nationally accredited it is however, well known throughout the Christian academic and theological community. Some of the keynote speakers at LBU commencement ceremonies have been well known Christian leaders like Jerry Falwell of Liberty University and Dr. Paige Patterson of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. LBU claims that in some cases Liberty University accepts transferred credits or degrees from LBU as well as other well known seminaries. This is not unusual considering the fact that credits and degrees of other institutions like Bob Jones University (unaccredited until 2005) have been widely accepted by accredited schools of higher learning.<br /> <br /> == Wikipedia Article ==<br /> <br /> The reliability of an article on Wikipedia describing LBU has been brought into question by many for serious mudslinging and heavy criticisms against LBU. This has caused some to question the neutrality of the article posted on Wikipedia due to its hostile and bias nature. Users on Wikipedia have gone so far as to use what's known as &quot;original research&quot; to support some of the negative claims against LBU. For example, a claim made by Steve Levicoff in his book entitled &quot;Name and Frame It?&quot; (1993) wherein he claims LBU to be a degree mill but he does not cite his sources to verify it. Some have criticized LBU for awarding students with &quot;life experience&quot; credits, however this is not an unusual pratice even in accredited secular universities. LBU claims that their evaluation processes for gaining such credits is very precise and detailed.
