Seminary Relaxes Policy on Sex
An Episcopal Church seminary in Virginia “has relaxed its 25-year-old policy barring students and faculty from nonmarital sex and homosexual behavior,” reports The Christian Century magazine. The chairman of the board, Peter J. Lee, said: “Let’s face it, most seminarians are in their 30s or their 40s. There are no house mothers and no bed checks.” Over the past 11 years, enrollment at the seminary has dropped 33 percent. Additionally, over the past 25 years, the average age of students entering the seminary has risen from 27 to 40. “What I’m trying to do as chairman of the board is to prevent some 28-year-old from being denied admission because we discovered he was having sex with his fiancée,” said Lee.
