it's funny, but...

People are apparently preferring to raise a stink over the ULC thing versus my new name.

I love it!

When I get home I'm going to look into Cherry Hill Seminary for priesthood training. I've heard of them and seen their stuff for years but haven't been able to do anything with them--and they seem to be pretty reputable. If I wait for Hellenic training like everyone else is (and I did) it'll be ages before I can accomplish anything worthwhile.

So, fuck it. Doing it all on my own and bulldozing through.

The best priest training I had was being a Benedictine Monk within Catholicism and then living with a Catholic priest for a time.

When I finish my BA in religious studies (I'm close at 192 quarter hours) I hope to attend Divinity School (Vanderbilt is my first choice). I would rather go this route than the on-line Pagan schools out there.

I would consider the RCC seminaries as being very good ones. So I'm not surprised that you found it very good. But do the Benedictines provide training towards the Holy Orders for all regular clergy?

Going for M.Div?

I was a Benedictine something like 15 years ago, and am no longer Roman Catholic. But the training was good. Regarding M.Div, once I finish Wright State (Religious Studies senior) I hope to attend either Vanderbilt Divinity School or a U.U. Divinity for M.Div.
