== Education ==

After receiving General Educational Development (GED), he studied through [[Montreat Anderson College]] and has a Doctorate of Divinity Degree from [[Indiana Christian University]], and a Doctorate of Sacred Literature from [[Bethany Theological Seminary]].

If the reference to Montreat Anderson College is to be retained, this statement should be expanded to document the awarding of a degree, if appropriate.  The grammar should be improved by substituting the word "at" for "through" if he attended the institution, and the first clause should be altered as well.  If he did not attend the college, but studied "at a distance," this fact should be noted.
