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.

More on the Bloat
bruce-church (https://bruce-church.myopenid.com/) has left a new comment on your post "Bloated Hours, Bloated Costs at Lutheran Seminarie...":
Wow! I guess everyone is so stunned by the situation with the LCMS seminaries that they can't even comment--including even President Harrison. One seminary president is calling it quits after this year, too. I wonder why.

GJ - Readership is staying near 2,000 page-reads per day. I get an idea who is reading it by some of the emails I get.
One ELS pastor said, "Everyone reads Ichabod." Traffic was very high during the last WELS convention.
Synodical officials make sure they know what is being said about their territory, so assume, Rev. Church, that every post about them is read and discussed.
I see things evaporate right after being quoted here. That is why I kelm them into the post instead of just posting.
And readers - Rev. Church has provided a vast amount of information about the cost of seminaries. Fairly soon I will post my 25 year predictions. Remember, I was 25 years early in writing about ELCA.
If you do not read this blog for the opinions, read it for the facts and the quotations.
