I was able to upload our non-profit W-9 to Zoom and found another portal to please - the independent auditor of our status. I will work on that tomorrow.
Meanwhile the Library is being modified for the Reformation Seminary lectures. There will be more table space and modifications for other improvements. I am aware that the failing Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago is the result of seven mergers. Yale Divinity - helmed by Greta Thunberg - is the result of four seminaries, which include Andover, Newton, and the Berkeley Episcopalian Divinity School. Andover actually snuck over to Harvard to facilitate a merger for a while, leaving behind some buildings, books, and nostalgia.
Buildings and books once seemed necessary, but now they are a burden. General Episcopalian Seminary in NYC has $60 million in endowment and about 60 students. The Nashotah House Episcopalian Seminary, where Bethany Lutheran Seminary's previous president (ELS) earned an STM, is strong in the Anglo-Catholic traditions. Schmeling taught his ELS students that Mary was assumed into heaven because there is no record of her death!
