Ed: Dave when you write "If you read the history of SBTS, one of the most wrenching moments in its history came when it chose to move from downtown Louisville to the remote hinterlands of Lexington Road in the 1920's. My prayer for my new spiritual home is that this move will be equally as advantageous."
I join you in the prayer that the proposed move for the Richmond Seminary be equally advantageous for them as was the Move of SBTS from Down Town Louisville and specifically the
Rockefeller Building out to the "Beeches". And even as much as SBTS first Major move from Greenville to Louisville.
I have mixed emotions about Richmond or more specifically about a few of their grads who made a quick move from SBTS to Richmond . On the other hand,
I feel very privileged to have taken classes with and having had membership in Louisville churches with some of the former SBTS professors who also made the same move. I was a bit surprised to see your reference to the present campus of Richmond Seminary as sacred Space.
I am excited with some of the new courses that are being suggested at Richmond, especially short term opportunities for lay persons.
