Where the Seminex library ended up
The Seminex library is owned by the ELCA seminary in Wartburg in Debuque, IA, but is used by an un-accredited (I think) Lutheran seminary in Austin, TX. There it is housed in a library on an Episcopalian campus--a library that the Austin Lutheran seminary shares.
Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest
ETSS Library
The Booher Library maintains and develops collections and services in support of the present and future teaching and research needs of the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest, the Lutheran Seminary Program in the Southwest, and the church as a whole.

Affiliated Libraries
LSPS/Seminex Library
The Library of the Lutheran Seminary of the Southwest is integrated in the Booher Library shelves and catalog. This collection, still owned and provided by Wartburg Theological Seminary, developed originally in Christ Seminary Seminex (St. Louis). The LSPS/Seminex Library serves all the patrons of the Booher Library but is especially dedicated to supporting the academic curriculum of LSPS.

Lutheran Seminary of the Southwest library access
Our students have access to three libraries: The Booher Library of Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest, in which the LSPS library is incorporated.

GJ - The Seminex library was comprised of books stolen from Concordia Seminary's library (St. Louis). I asked a Seminex supporter if it was true they stole books from the seminary to start their library. He said, "They were OUR books!"
The seminarians grandly walked out but came back the same day for the food and dorms. They put up a sign, "EXILED," but they exiled themselves, in the most comfortable way possible. The exiled professors continued to receive their pay, but they did not work.
The Left Wing of Missouri called the seminary "801" after its address, because they were the real Concordia Seminary. Eventually they had to give up that ruse and call themselves Christ Seminary. They were befriended by the LCA and the United Church of Christ. The gay activist Metropolitan Community Churches sent their students to Christ Seminary, which included a professor caught in the park chatting up a male undercover officer. That same professor, Deppe, went on to teach at Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago (LCA, now ELCA).
Apostates are always victims. They are always being persecuted. They really play that up.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
