It was a great privilege for United Graduate College and Seminary International, from Mars Hill, North Carolina USA and the American Christian Education Institute, to recognize sixteen of the top business and national leaders of the country of Uganda. These prestigious gentlemen were honored with an Honorary Doctorate in Humanities for their outstanding achievements. This was a great day for the nation of Uganda.

In attendance at this service was the Chancellor of Makerere University, Professor George Mondo Kagonyera. Professor Kagonyera was quoted saying, “I have never seen this many elite people honored at one time any where in the world.”

Professor Clyde Rivers said, “It is very important to continue to build the honor system within Africa. It is also important to have the elite of the African nations record their excellent works in books so that they can leave a legacy for generations to come.” Professor Rivers challenged these elite men to be great and record their achievements.

United Graduate College and Seminary International is one of the pioneers of online education in the Continent of Africa carrying worldwide accreditation.

Christian Education Accreditation Is Valid

In the constitution of the United States of America. We have the establishment clause" which prohibits government from making any law respecting an establishment of religion. This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits the government from unduly favoring; one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion or non-religion over religion.

This is our constitutional right in the United States of America. We as religious organizations have the right to establish our own accreditation agencies to accredit us by our peers in the faith, because our government cannot

endorse any religion above another because of the establishment clause in the first amendment. Understanding this when looking for a theological or seminary education is very important to know. We have the right to our own accrediting system and we are within our rights as American citizens.
