DESCRIPTION OF THE E. D. SMITH NATIONAL SCHOOLS OF PROPHETS
The E. D. Smith National Schools of Prophets, also called "The National
School,"
will administer a network of schools, also called "The Schools." The
Schools will
enroll learners from the conferences of and communities served by
Triumph
the Church and Kingdom of God in Christ, also called "The Church."
Through
the Schools, The National School will enroll prophets, leaders, and
seekers.
A student may study in a seminar, certificate, diploma or degree program
The study must satisfy an approved plan of work, learner's aspiration in
a
Church ministry or department, or student professional-development
program.
THE MISSION OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL
The National School will stand as a source of intellectual rigor and
prophetic
vision; of spiritual energy; and as sustaining support and inspiration
for strong
leadership that shapes society and the future. Learners in The
Schools will
explore new scholarship that teaches, integrates, and applies
Triumph-doctrinal
perspectives about the arts and sciences of life and spirituality.
The mission of the
The National School is also to build leadership strength in The Church
and the
communities it serves by providing prophetic leadership. The
National School
will provide its learners with a higher moral and religious education
through the
written, spoken, and revealed word of God for district, state, and
county conferences.
The National Schools' curricula will be designed to prepare students to
be seekers,
prophets, and leaders in Church and associated ministries of The Church.
Any student
that a School approves for admission can benefit from its program and is
welcomed.
Seminar courses, for example, will be tailored for persons irrespective
of educational
levels.
FOUNDATION COURSE
The foundation course for all studies in the Schools of Prophets will be
a new
Kingdom-planting and world-changing discipline known as Triology.
Triology is a
word coined by Chief Apostle Russell D. Clark, a successor of Father
Elias Dempsey Smith.
The word comes from the words 'Triumphant' and 'logos'. To be
triumphant is to have
the integrity of knowledge of the power of God in man and women to
subdue and conquer
death in the body. The ending syllable 'ology' comes from the Greek
'logos', which refers
to the study of meaning and discourse (including spoken, written or
revealed Word of God).
The combination of 'Tri' and 'ology' gives 'Triology': the
systematic study of written sacred
texts, spoken Word, and revealed Word about God's plan for humanity in
pursuit of eternal life.
CATEGORIES OF SCHOOLS
The National School will try to reach church members where they live.
The National School
will provide consultative and support services to assist jurisdictional
Schools to establish
quality academic programs, best practices, student records management,
and administrative
policies requires of approved schools. Any District, Annual, or
Quarterly Religious Conference,
or Local Church may establish a jurisdictional school when it is
approved and governed by the
standards and requirement of THE NATIONAL SCHOOL. A Local Church
School must have at
least seven (7) students to be approved by The National School.
