The Alaska School of Ministry (AKSOM) was established to provide ministerial education venues in Alaska.

Combining Faithfulness With Learning: Avoiding The Path Of Secularization At Brigham Young University, J. Gordon Daines Iii

Theses and Dissertations

Most research universities in the United States began as religiously affiliated institutions. Beginning in the late 19th century and continuing over the course of the 20th century, the vast majority of these institutions engaged in a process of secularization through which faith moved from the center of academic life to the periphery. This paper elucidates a conceptual framework for understanding how and why Brigham Young University did not follow the path of secularization that so many research universities, originally religious in nature, pursued. It examines the steps that the university and its sponsoring institution (The Church of Jesus Christ of …

Evaluating Transformative Spirituality In An Organizational Leadership Program At A Christian University, Elizabeth D. Rios

Theses and Dissertations

In the field of Christian higher education, some educators are more concerned with marketing their programs to nontraditional students, the fastest growing segment of new enrollments. Although many view that as a blessing, the issues of mission and specifically spirituality are of concern to educators and administrators who want to avoid the secularization already impacting many fine schools in the country. At satellite locations, some educators perceive that the lack of structured practices and intentional procedures and the marketing of convenience-based structural models have watered down the offerings of Christian higher education. This applied dissertation evaluated whether spiritual development and …

The Purpose Of A Chapel Convocation Program At Taylor University (Notes For A Panel Discussion), Milo A. Rediger

Milo Rediger Writings & Addresses

The number one consideration is found in the nature of Christian higher education. To be Christian, higher education must be whole-person growth. The process and the experience must include the intellectual, the physical, the social, and the spiritual. The total Taylor program is intended to provide opportunities in all of these aspects of the individual's growth.

In the spiritual aspect of growth there are two important facets. The one has to do with the individual devotional life of the growing person. The other has to do with corporate and group experience in worship and other phases of religion-related experiences. This …
