Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Tier three: a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, matching this atlas's established convention for a Wikipedia citation. Reliable for the Christian Broadcasting Network's basic founding history and chronology; not a substitute for dedicated scholarship on Pat Robertson's ministry. NotesA collaboratively edited encyclopedia article with no named author, used here alongside CBN's own history page for founding facts both sources agree on.
