This month, we hear talk of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego now struggling to support 50% of it's congregations as missions. Earlier this week, the New York Times, yes, the New York Times asked whether or not PBS is worth saving from it's financial down-spiral. Earlier today, I get a letter from San Diego Schools Superintendent asking parents for ideas about how the district should deal with massive budget cuts coming to San Diego public schools. Tonight, I see that Seabury claims the distinct honor of being the first liberal Episcopal seminary to succumb to the economic realities of their increasingly irrelevant and disintegrating liberal protestant church.
Rumor has it that it's not just a Seabury problem. We could see other liberal Episcopal seminaries making similar announcements soon. Stay tuned.
Just remember, though, that all's well in liberal protestantism.
