The ALPB Online Forum continues its solemn march into higher education oblivion. I just wrote about California Lutheran (ELCA) firing its president and hiring John Nunes (LCMS/ELCA) as a temporary president. His credentials include closing the NYC LCMS college, so he is going to be in demand to close a few more schools in a few more years.
The Forum Letter is a bit shocked about how far their ELCA buddies are taking liturgy. More reports are coming in, all parading the same package. I could copy a few paragraphs, but today's Big Five shock - ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC - only stirs up boredom, ennui, and despair.
In other news, the failing LCMS college in Ann Arbor has announced cutting its athletic program (yawn) when they previously promised it would continue another year. Colleges do not implement or dissolve programs overnight. Claiming it was going to last one year more (Les Mis) is the same as ending in one year.
Once upon a time an engineering firm asked for everyone to meet in the conference room. A witty guy asked, "Will this be for resume writing?" They were being absorbed by a much larger firm. Nothing was named but people were looking ahead, and it did happen.
