"Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore are professionals known around the world; he for reorganizing colleges and universities and for establishing highly-successful work-study programs; she as a world class curriculum and reading authority; and both as child specialists who shared in the founding of modern homeschooling... affectionately known as the "Grandparents of the homeschooling movement." They have been involved with homeschooling for 55 years. Some of their successes include: The Moore Formula which has produced an unusual numbers of scholarships. 4 

See: Letters <http://www.homestead.com/barbooch/WhitePaper.html> re: Homeschooling to Heritage Foundation. 

Regarding Controversy over Moores methods:

"...For the last few years, however, some of his ideas seem to have fallen into disfavor. His books are no longer as widely circulated and cited, and he is seldom invited to speak at conventions.... Great controversy surrounds the whole issue. Dr. Moore has disagreed strongly and publicly with other home school leaders (notably Gregg Harris) over issues such as when and how children should learn to read, whether and when traditional academic means such as textbooks and workbooks should be pursued, and whether home school groups should be exclusively Christian, or open to any and all beliefs. An effort at Christian mediation and peacemaking was made, but apparently with little lasting success. J. Richard Fugate, President of Alpha Omega Publications, even wrote a book refuting Dr. Moore's position that early reading is harmful to children, and tracing Dr. Moore's approach to humanistic origins. Clearly Raymond Moore is no longer in the lead, or even in the mainstream of home education in America...Though a professing Christian, Dr. Moore's main focus seems to be providing children a loving and warm environment where they may be free to blossom in their own way, at their time, without pressure. He emphasizes real work and service, lots of free play, and no formal academics until age 8, 10, or 12...A Seventh-Day Adventist himself, he made frequent reference to God, to family and religious values, and the value of service to others. His writings portrayed a childhood of peace, security, warmth, beauty, freedom, order, and natural, unforced discipline, where little ones could romp and play, learn and grow according to their own instincts." 5 

Hewitt Research Foundation, awarded a grant $250,000 by the National Institute of Education (NIE) to do "A Study Which Compares the Academic and Behavioral Measures of the Home-taught Child with National Norms." Dr. Moore was an Adjunct Professor of "Early Childhood Education" (ECE) at NOVA University located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. NOVA University is part of the South Florida Education Center - a "master plane" for an "Education Park" of four elementary schools, a junior high school, a high school, a junior college, and a full university. It is part of the public school system of Broward County (Fort Lauderdale), Florida, operated and financed in cooperation with various educational institutions and foundations... NOVA University is an INSTITUTIONAL MEMBER OF THE WORLD FUTURE SOCIETY! 63"  6 See: Jay Gary & The World Future Society

The World Future Society held a 1982 conference, in which Al Gore welcomed and arranged for members of Congress to attend. He also moderated a session including New Age networkers Barbara Marx Hubbard and other New Agers and Club of Rome members. Gore was also plenary speaker at the 1986 World Future Society Conference. 7

In 1969, Sam Moore purchased Thomas Nelson Publishers, vowing to return it to its once proud place among the leading publishers of the world. 10 In 1958, Sam founded the National Book Company. Three years later, he incorporated Royal Publishing, a Bible publishing company. He sold stock in 1962 to about 250 people including Billy Graham's mother...With popular authors ranging from Robert Schuller and Charles Stanley to Jack Hayford and John Hagee, Nelson's distinctive mission is to serve the entire Christian community in all its diversity...Thomas Nelson has also grown by bringing other companies into the publishing family, including Here's Life Publishers, J. Countryman, and the Spanish- language publisher Editorial Caribe, Inc...In 1992 Nelson took a significant step forward with the acquisition of Word, Inc., one of the world's foremost Christian publishers and home to many popular authors including Billy Graham, Charles Swindoll, Max Lucado, Barbara Johnson, and Frank Peretti. Today, Nelson and Word titles consistently dominate the Christian bestsellers lists..." 11 

CNP's Robert Wolgemuth was former president Thomas Nelson Communications; former vice president of sales/marketing/publishing division, Word, Inc.

He co-founded and was chairman Wolgemuth & Hyatt Publishers in 1986, with now Senior Vice President and Publisher of Thomas Nelson Publishers, Michael S. Hyatt. The company was eventually sold to Word in 1992. Hyatt and Wolgemuth then formed a Christian literary agency which represented several of the most successful authors in the industry. In 1998, Hyatt sold his interest in the business to Wolgemuth and joined Thomas Nelson, Inc.  12 

Thomas Nelson debut the New Testament of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) in 1946. In 1976, Nelson Publisher initiated the New King James Version. Two meetings of the North American Overview Committee 13 met at Nashville and Chicago in 1975 to assist in preparing guidelines for the NKJV. Members of that committee and a Nashville Convocation of 1984 included the following CNP/Religious Roundtable members: Tim LaHaye, D. James Kennedy, Jerry Falwell, Ben Hayden, Mary Crowley , W.A. Criswell, E.V. Hill, Henry Morris, Bill Bright and Charles Stanley.

"The business was being managed primarily by George M. Brown (Thomas Nelson's son-in-law) and John Buchan, a noted novelist (of such popular works as Prester John and The Thirty-Nine Steps), biographer, and political correspondent. John Buchan, a close friend of Tommy Nelson became instrumental in expanding the company's offerings of classic works and educational resources... 14 

In 1906, John Buchan of the Rhodes-Milner Round Table became a partner in the publishing firm of his old classmate Thomas Nelson which was located in Edinburgh, Scotland. [See: Cecil Rhodes]

"Buchan was not a member of the inner core of the Milner Group, but was close to it and was rewarded in 1935 by being raised to a barony as Lord Tweedsmuir and sent to Canada as Governor-General. He is important because he is (with Lionel Curtis) one of the few members of the inner circles of the Milner Group who have written about it in a published work. In his autobiography, Pilgrim's Way, (Boston, 1940) he gives a brief outline of the personnel of the Kindergarten and their subsequent achievements, and a brilliant analysis of Milner himself...Buchan went to Brasenose College, but, as he says of himself, 'I lived a good deal at Balliol and my closest friends were of that college.' He mentions as his closest friends Hillaire Belloc,... T.A. Nelson,... Edward Wood (the future Lord Halifax)..."

"Buchan went to South Africa in 1901 on Milner's personal invitation, to be his private secretary, but stayed only two years... he left in 1903 to take an important position in Egypt. This appointment was mysteriously canceled...it is...likely that Milner changed his mind because of Buchan's rapidly declining enthusiasm for federation. This was a subject on which Milner and other members of his Group were adamant for many years. By 1915 most members of the Group began to believe that federation was impossible, and, as a compromise took what we know now as the Commonwealth of Nations -- that is, a group of nations joined together by common ideals and allegiances rather than a fixed political organization...The present Commonwealth is in reality the compromises worked out when the details of the Milner Group clashed with the reality of political forces. As a result of Buchan's failure to obtain the appointment of Egypt, he continued to practice law in London for three years, finally abandoning it to become a partner in the publishing firm of classmate Thomas A. Nelson (1906-1916)." 15  

"Born in Perth in 1875, John Buchan, 1st Baron of Tweedsmuir, is one of the fathers of the modern detective thriller. These days, the term 'Buchanesque' is used to describe well-written, fast-paced and subtly plotted spy novels. As well as a prolific writer of fiction, John Buchan was a statesman, a director of Nelsons the publishers, President of the Scottish History Society, Governor General of Canada and Chancellor of Edinburgh University - the list of his appointments is too lengthy to give in full detail." 16  Although trained as a lawyer, Buchan became private secretary to Lord Alfred Milner 17 , high commissioner for South Africa. In 1903 he returned to England where he became a director of the publishing company, Thomas Nelson & Sons. 18   Footnotes 9-18

Thomas Slick Moorman-  CNP 1998; member, advisory board, The Salvation Army; President, Moorman Land and Cattle Company; member, The Argyle, San Antonio Country Club, German Club, Order of the Alamo and Town Club; director, Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association; director emeritus, San Antonio Livestock Exposition; former member, finance committee, Republican Party of Texas; chairman of the board, Foundation for Christian Education and Vital Food Sources.

Dr. Henry M. Morris- CNP Board of Governors 1982, member 1988, 1996, 1998; founder, former  President/Director for the Institute of Creation Research 19 ; co-founder and former president, Christian Heritage College 20; co-founder and former president, Creation Research Society 21; co-founder and president, TransNational Association of Christian Schools 22 (TRACS); From 1957 to 1970 he was Head of the Department of Civil Engineering at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Henry Morris was TRACS' founder and chairman. Henry Morris's own Institute for Creation Research was accredited via his TRACS.

The Institute for Creation Research was first established in 1970 and reorganized with its present name in 1972 to meet the need for an organization devoted to research, publication, and teaching in those fields of science particularly relevant to the study of origins. It was originally formed as the research division of Christian Heritage College (also established in 1970, but became separate and autonomous in 1981).

The first graduate courses were taught in the summer of 1981, and all degree programs were then examined by the Office of Private Postsecondary Education of the State of California and received the State's "Approved" rating in June 1981. In 1989, the Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction attempted to withdraw this rating and close the school because of its creationist perspective in science. Legal actions taken by ICR, however, prevented this, so that full "Approval" was reconfirmed early in 1992. In 1995 the Council for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education confirmed that ICR/OS met the exemption requirement as defined in California Education Code 94303(B)(2). The exemption from the approval process is related to ICR/OS's national accreditation under TRACS and is good for the calendar years 1992-1996. 23 

TransNational Association of Christian Schools (TRACS) 24 

Currently: 25 

TRACS is a nationally recognized accrediting body of Christian schools and colleges, and welcomes the affiliation of institutions which seek to excel in the pursuit of Christian higher education....

TRACS is a voluntary, non-profit, self-governing organization of Christian postsecondary institutions, and is recognized by the U.S.Department of Education (USDE) 26  and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) 27 as a national accrediting agency authorized for the accreditation and pre-accreditation of postsecondary institutions that offer certificates, diplomas, and associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degrees.  The USDE recognition was reaffirmed for five (5) years in December of 1999.  CHEA recogntition was granted May 1, 2001, for a period of ten (10) years...."

Some of the executive.... 28

....TRACS Executive Director, Russell G. Fitzgerald, holds a B.S. from Frostburg State University, and an M.A. and Ed.D. from West Virginia University. Having been with TRACS since 1988, Dr. Fitzgerald assumed the Directorship of the agency in 1997 ...

He joined with TRACS as a Regional Coordinator in 1996 and continues in the capacity of Associate Executive Director...

Dr. David Beck > Regional Coordinator >...received his Ph.D. from Boston University. Dave has spent many years traveling and teaching abroad (which he continues to do) and has been with TRACS since 1998....

According to Steve Levicoff, in his book Name It and Frame It, from Chapter 10, which discusses TRACS historically... More

As Levicoff stated:

"TRACS has a category called "associate status." Unlike candidacy or full accreditation, associate status is not a membership category, but is a way for Christian schools who agree with the doctrinal standards of TRACS to identify with the agency. Unfortunately, some degree mills have subscribed to TRACS as "associates," implying legitimacy through an agency that has been recognized by the Department of Education."    Footnotes 19-30

Two of the diploma mills that Levicoff referenced are found in connection to the credentials of the Don and David Hargis. See:
