[edit] Move

This page should be restored to Yoido Full Gospel Church, per our standing naming conventions, which prefer customary romanizations (where they exist) over strict RR or MR. Unfortunately I made a mistake when attempting to undo the initial move, which is why the page is now at a title which is not correct by any standard. Sorry! Hopefully this will be fixed soon. -- Visviva 08:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Regardless of the ROK spelling conventions, YOIDO is the name used on the international correspondence/letterhead of the church (I know, because I've corresponded with it myself). I have restored the original spelling, thank you very much. David Cannon 11:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. or Mr.

Please remove all references to Dr. Cho and change to Mr. Cho. To be styled as "Dr" it is necessary to have received an accredited Doctorate/Phd. It appears that Mr. Cho does not, I do realize that "Dr." in Korea is often used as a term of respect however in the English language section it is misleading. Mr. Cho on his published biography states that he received 2 (non-honorary) degrees. One from Bethany Bible college and the other from California Graduate School of Theology. Bethany Bible college is not accredited to issue any Doctorate degrees (Only up to Masters level) and is listed by the California Schools and Universities Accrediting authority, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) http://www.wascsenior.org/wasc/ as "Accreditation continued-warning issued" The California Graduate School of Theology is not listed by WASC as being accredited at all. Regional Accrediting Authorities can be found at the Department of Education website http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/accreditation_pg7.html

Someone has a disagreement with this and keeps undoing this change. Before you undo this again could you please comment and say why you are doing it i.e. why refer to David Cho as Dr if he does not have any accredited PHD remembering that an honourary doctorate does not entitle the person to be refered to as Dr. Here is Mr. Cho's self published biography/profile on the Yoido Full Gospel Church wedsite [1]
