The ELCA Seminaries Only Occupy a Floor of a Building,
Not a Campus, Not Even Their Own Building

 

The 55 year old Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago was sold off for around $17 million.

WE’VE MOVED!

The Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago has moved into our new home located at 5416 S. Cornell Avenue, fourth floor, Chicago, Illinois 60615. Please update our address in your records to reflect this change. 

The meltdown into one floor of a building is the new Pacific Seminary. It once had acres and buildings at the top of the hill. 

Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus Ohio also did a major shrink after coughing up $90 million from a lawsuit after they ordained a known pedophile. Capital University absorbed Trinity, noting that they did it without adding to the cost. In other words, the seminary had to accept its lowly new role.

There are other examples and likely plans for shrinkage. For some reason the recruits are not lining up to be like this seminary, who received a call upon graduating from Luther Seminary in St. Paul.



This man danced for his friends at the Luther Seminary chapel. They laughed - and he received a call upon graduating. Remember, according to Herb Chilstrom, the first ELCA Presiding Bishop, they had been working toward those goals before the merger happened.
