  The Detroit, Mich., region has a few educational institutions for the pursuit of spiritual truth. Programs called distance learning or e-learning make it much easier to find suitable programs. Instructors post reading material, timetables and exams through virtual, password-protected systems. In all, these online courses promise Bible-based teaching and edification which at one time exclusively served the Detroit area, but has now expanded to incorporate worldwide scholarship in the dawning of distance education.
