The magnificent campus in Pasadena is now to become
the Headquarters of The Worldwide Church of God, its
Graduate School of Theology and the world headquarters of
the AICF with all of these functions expanding to do
God's Work. All aspects and departments of the Church
are to remain in Pasadena. Again, we must vigorously
resist the temptation to begin moving any of the Church
service departments to Big Sandy. All efforts should be
made to maximize the Church activity in Pasadena thus
making an ever-increasing impact on the world through the
Church and the Foundation.
In doing the above we effectively separate the
Church and the undergraduate College and powerfully put
the focus of our commitment where it properly belongs, on
the Church and the Work of God.
However, if Ambassador College is to survive as an
institution of God then it must remain under the control
and ownership of the Church and be fully consistent with
the principles and teachings of God.
I repeat, "WE ARE NOT IN THE COLLEGE BUSINESS!" The
only reason for the continued existence of Ambassador
College is to support and contribute to the work of THE
GREAT COMMISSION. If it ever loses sight of this fact
God will let it fail.
Ted, I am very pleased with your desire to elevate
the recognition and the esteem of the Worldwide Church of
God. So long as you continue to do so you will have God's
blessing.
With love in Christ's name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
