Pensacola Christian College (PCC) is a fundamentalist, Independent Baptist〔 liberal arts college in Pensacola, Florida. Since its 1974 inception PCC was opposed to accreditation, but later reversed this position and was accredited with Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=October 2013 Accreditation Commission action )〕 ==History== Arlin and Beka Horton graduated from Bob Jones University in 1951,〔''CLA (Law Association ) Defender'', 4:9 (September 1981), 19; Bob Jones University ''Vintage'' (yearbook), 1951, 183.〕 and moved to Pensacola, Florida in 1952 to found a Christian grade school. That school, Pensacola Christian Grade School, opened in 1954 and was later renamed Pensacola Christian Academy. In 1974, the Hortons opened Pensacola Christian College to further their vision of "Education from a Christian Perspective." Pensacola Theological Seminary, an extension of PCC's graduate school, was founded in 1998. In 1996, state and federal agencies requested millions of dollars of unpaid taxes between 1988 and 1995 from A Beka Book, at the time a division of PCC. A Beka Book (named after Horton's wife, Rebecca), provides a K-12 curriculum that is used by some Christian schools and homeschooling families〔Our Foundation. (2008). A Beka Book, para. 2. Retrieved from http://www.abeka.com/OurFoundation.html〕 and is one of the largest Christian textbook publishers in America. In February 2012, Arlin Horton announced that he would be retiring from the ministry after the May 2012 school year. The school's board voted unanimously to install Troy Shoemaker, a PCC graduate, as president of the college. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pensacola Christian College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
