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
“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.”

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…”

Dr. Moore's work on structural

lectures and books on psychology and spirituality is available through the C.G.

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
