Don't Be Like Union Seminary in NYC

 Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago, ELCA. I was predestined to attend this grim, newly merged seminary in 1970. The remains of seven seminaries can be found here, but there is very little interest in attending. I did not even visit until I needed some books for my dissertation. Here is one response to Union's contrition for plant abuse.

Union Seminary's touching confession of sins to our subjugated plants motivated me to look over the school's tuition and faculty. Union never affiliated with a denomination - unlike LSTC - and established a reputation as a cutting edge theological school.

Union Seminary chapel - confession of our sins against plants.
Luther Seminary - ELCA - a male seminarian, certified for ordination offered a drag dance routine, getting hoots and applause from his tiny audience.


Studying at Union is expensive. I could not find an end to its mandatory charges piled on top of ridiculous tuition fees.

The Union faculty is cray-cray, a basket of radicalisms - womanist, gay, religions of the world, plus Scripture as a target of their mockery.

They once had a reputation for famous faculty and alumni, which drove them over the cutting edge of liberalism to stupefaction. If you have not followed this blog, which "no one reads," then you are unaware of the steps leading to this state.

 This compost tumbler was solemnly dedicated at the LSTC chapel some years ago, the students unaware of their plantism, being insensitive to the feelings of plants. WELS-LCMS-ELS are now in this orbit and crashing downward with ELCA, where Mother Earth is worshiped.


ELCA is almost there, and LCMS-WELS-ELS-ETC are following.

 The LCA began this a few decades ago, but this is WELS. An education expert said, "Look at how few are in attendance."
