New seminary president's gay-conversion past catches school by surprise - Philly

 "Bad optics. That's all I can say."


New seminary president's gay-conversion past catches school by surprise - Philly: "...she has never denied her affiliation with OneByOne, and had disclosed it to a seminary board member before the vote. He also said she has in recent years actively promoted inclusion for LGBTQIA+ people in the church.

Latini’s former leadership of OneByOne is not the only source of anger for many in the seminary community. They’ve also made clear their displeasure with the administration’s handling of the presidential selection process in 2017 and the secrecy shrouding it. Students, faculty and alumni first heard rumors of Latini’s past earlier this year, and the story circulated without an official statement from the school until last month."
