"For many [cathedrals], trust funds and endowments are all that is sustaining them."
That reminds me of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. With an $80 million endowment and growing, it only has 60-some M. Div students per class, and yet they pay through the nose to go there. Then they have all the non-M.Div. filler GED students (DELTO, etc) who have no business being there. Of course, the deaconesses are all pretty so I can't say anything about them.
Meanwhile, Dean Wenthe is retiring from Ft. Wayne. I guess he thought that making Ft. Wayne as expensive as Yale Seminary was enough of a life achievement, and everything else would just be anticlimactic.
