| At least the ELS admits to the demographic shoals ahead, and this blog is not the cause. |
From ALPB:
"Earlier this year Lenoir-Rhyne University and Southern Seminary announced plans to merge. Now the latest edition of Above the Fog, the alum newsletter for Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary announces merger exploration between PLTS and California Lutheran University."
Two more ELCA seminaries are in trouble:
- Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago.
- Wartburg Seminary, founded by Loehe.
That means four ELCA seminaries are threatened with insolvency. Merging Wartburg and LSTC would only mean that two weak seminaries would unite - like Sears and K-Mart.
