DEAD SEMINARIES

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010 | Uncategorized

It’s not pinin’!  It’s passed on! This seminary is no more!  It has ceased to be!  It’s expired and gone to meet it’s maker!  It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn’t sold some its buildings, it’d already be pushin’ up the daisies!  It’s metabolic processes are now ‘istory!  It’s off the twig! It’s kicked the bucket, it’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-SEMINARY!!

…the seminary needed between $2 million and $4 million, seminary spokesman Bruce Parker said at the time.

Isn’t that about the same amount the Episcopal Church has pissed away on all those lawsuits?

The Tutu Center…for Liturgical Dance?

It’s not dead. It hasn’t shuffled off from this mortal earth. It’s stunned. You stunned it!

Well… some ideas… Perhaps the Muslims are looking for space for a new Madrassa!

LOVELY PLUMAGE!

Remember back when the Episcopal Church was going to single-handedly eliminate global poverty because everyone was so rich nowadays, they could just search down the back of the sofa for the spare change to do it?

Tempting fate, and it looks like fate couldn’t resist.

Bovina Bloviator,

TEC has relieved itself of much more than $4M in conducting lawsuits; it now has a cash flow problem.

What happens when blood or oxygen can’t reach a vital area? Yep, you’ve got it! Flat-lined!

“It’s expired and gone to meet its Maker!”

And good luck with that, btw.

Who needs a seminary when conforming to the spirit of the age renders the organization salt without savor? I ask.

“The Rev. Canon Denis O’Pray”
How ironic a name. The Seminary has an O’Pray but it doesn’t have a prayer.

OMG I *so* want to buy this property and start a new engineering or business school… lol

Doctor taking seminary’s pulse: “Either this seminary is dead or my watch has stopped.” Kudos to Grouch Marx.

It’s just a flesh wound!

Why does TEC need a seminary when everyone of its members is entitled individually to “discern” what the spirit is saying from one minute to the next. All its prospective ministers need is training in chairing/manipulating meetings and how to move against and exclude/force to resign/declare as having abandoned office or resigned and subsequently sue all those who do not accept the “flavour of the popular and progressive discernment of minute”.

Perhaps they can raise funds by tapping another Python skit: “Hello, good evening and welcome to ‘Blackmail’!”

Good riddance.

Sad story of a sad demise. But they did it to themselves. Amazing what overdosing on the Zeitgeist will do to you.

“LaVallette
