The Entire Student Body of Bethany Lutheran Seminary - Home of the Schwan Chapel -Ten (10)!

 

Notice the identical graphic for their Teigen lectures. Kilcrease has a Jesuit PhD and also taught at a Jesuit school plus a Catholic convent school.

 In two years they could not conjure up an ELS professor? They loathe WELS

Bethany Lutheran Seminary - Bombs Away

 

Jack Kilcrease, Jesuit PhD, WELS born but ELCA college and seminary trained, is the fitting symbol for Bethany's watered-down Pietism.

I looked up Bethany Lutheran Seminary - The Little Schoolhouse on the Prairie - for its student population. The photo showed a total of seven students, four being ordained and three being given a vicarage. The faculty is Schmeling, Schmeling, and somebody. The senior Schmeling is retiring, leaving behind the suggestion of nepotism, his son the only other one on the faculty for a time.

The new president of the Little Schoolhouse on the Prairie has a degree in mining engineering. The ALC's David Preus liked to say that the conservatives majored in the minors, but now they major in the miners.

President Hartwig earned an MDiv at Bethany Lutheran Seminary.

Bethany lacks a sense of irony. One of their speakers, Jack Kilcrease, earned his PhD at a Jesuit university and teaches at an ELCA style online school - where Jay Webber got his STM after 20 or more years of academic labor. Since Jay and Jack are both passionate about Objective Justification, Jay probably suggested Jack for the Bethany lectures.

Another knee-slapper: Jay and Jack's favorite web server trains women for Lutheran ordination.
