Part One - ELCA Seminary Summarized Merger Disasters
LSTC - Seven mergers rolled into one stink-bomb.
Luther Seminary - Partnered Northwestern Seminary, Sinking Fast
United - Gettysburg and Philadelphia - New President Accused of Heterosexualism
Pacific - Rolled Down the Hill, To Make Room for Muslim Education
Part Two - Even Worse ELCA Seminary Mergers?
- Southern is the nickname for the $30,000 a year cost to study at Lenore-Ryne College, where the chickens have come home to roost. They include various denominations (Babtist, Mefdist) to beef up their enrollment. Shrinking and moving the seminary has become a lively sport in ELCA.
- Trinity in Columbus gathered Hamma Seminary at Capital University to shame the Scriptures, the Reformation, and their $90 million losing lawsuit. 55 students? Maybe less. Sodom and Gomorrah is their theme, which they were parading decades ago, as I saw on their notices about upcoming ordination.
- Wartburg Seminary promotes the DEI pronouns, which are hilariously goofy on their faculty page, only for some of the women and men, looking like fad-conscious grammar idiots.
Their grammar is not so hot either - "It’s always a great idea to seek out additional funding sources. We maintains (sic) a list of outside scholarship opportunities."
