As many know, Christina and I were graduating from Augustana College and getting married at the end of 1969. People said, "Oh, you are going to attend Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago!" I said, "No."
"Why not?" Answer - "Chicago." LSTC moved out of Maywood Seminary in Chicago, into the grand and glorious new buildings. LSTC was glued together from seven seminaries and it kept shrinking faster than wool socks in the dryer. They had to abandon their hideous LSTC to adopt a morganatic marriage with the Roman Catholics, renting a floor.
They sold the LSTC to move to the Roman Catholic merger of mergers. But wait, there's more.

Philadelphia-Gettysburg is a fairly recent merger of two more ELCA seminaries, known for each one's loathing for the other. The merger began with the students accusing the new leader of having heterosexual tendencies.
