Sorry for being quiet for so long, but with a new year opening I am ready to get back into this issue and share thoughts with “all of you” out there. Be sure to speak up by leaving comments on this site!
I recently came across a few things which made for interesting reading. First is at http://www.lstc.edu/etsfm/index.html, which is about The Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago’s campaign, Equipping the Saints. The campaign’s goal is $56,000,000. Also, read the interesting article, “Who Pays for Seminary Education?” at http://www.lstc.edu/resources/publications/epistle/fall_06/fall06-sec5.pdf.
Also, think that the high cost of a theological education is a new problem? Far from it. The Christian Century has an archived article online at http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=982 which is nearly 21 years old now, and makes clear that even in 1987, “Several students confided that money was the main question for them in deciding whether or not they could indeed attend seminary.”
