She enrolled at Anderson University during the same semester as James and they married in 1964 after their junior year. Throughout college, James worked at a J.C. Penney, held various jobs on campus, and served as a minister of music in a small church.〔 Upon graduation, he took on a job as the university's Director of Student Recruitment, which he held until earning a Master of Divinity from Anderson School of Theology in 1970.〔〔 Deanna also continued her studies, following a degree in Elementary Education with a master's degree from Ball State University.〔 They then moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where James served as a pastor at Pasadena Park Church of God.〔 Cory's younger brother Todd was born there in 1971.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Todd Edwards )〕 A year later, the family returned to Anderson and James resumed work at the university. He directed church and alumni relations until 1975, at which point they all moved to Columbus Ohio. James served as a senior pastor of Meadow Park Church of God for the next fifteen years and also studied at Ohio State University, where in 1987 he received a PhD. in Educational Policy and Leadership.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Anderson University Executive Staff )〕 Cory, Todd, and their younger sister Katie showed an interest in the arts from an early age. They would put on puppet shows and plays and used a tape recorder to create their own radio shows.〔 Cory was around seven or eight years old when they first started experimenting with their family's Super 8 video camera. Their first film, succinctly titled ''Movie Stuff'', did not have a plot and was simply a chance for them to learn how to use the camera and try out special effects. As they continued, they made films in several different genres, including a superhero film called ''Captain Lightning'' that was directed by Cory, a Laurel and Hardy type comedy called ''Crime Doesn't Pay'' that was directed by Todd, and an action-adventure film that centered on a character named Jack Francisco. As they grew older, their films became more elaborate, often taking them months to complete. Starting with storyboarding the shots, they would go on to create their own sets, miniatures, and costumes. Neighborhood kids joined in as extras, and sound and special effects were added after filming.〔〔 In school, Cory usually turned in films for class projects and occasionally won national competitions with them.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =About Cory Edwards WRITER / DIRECTOR BIO )〕 As he was growing up, Cory's mother worked as a teacher in both public and private schools.〔 In addition to his work as a pastor and at Anderson University, James also held the positions of president and CEO at Warner Press, the publishing house for the Church of God.〔 He and Deanna have known gospel music singers Bill and Gloria Gaither since early on in their music career. The Gaithers' son Benjy was a childhood friend of Cory and his siblings and often collaborated with them on their films. While attending Anderson University, Cory and Todd served as directors for the on-campus comedy show Cheap Thrills.〔 Cory interned at an animation studio in Ohio during his summers and graduated in 1990 with a major in Broadcasting and a minor in Art.〔〔 That same year, his father was elected president of the university.〔 Upon moving back to Anderson, Deanna assumed the position of Children's Program Director at Alternatives Inc., an organization that works with women and children in domestic crises. Although she no longer holds this position at the organization, she is currently a member of the board.〔 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「Cory Edwards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
