The board of trustees of Episcopal Divinity School (EDS) in Cambridge, Mass., has voted to roll back tuition by 25 percent for its master of divinity and master of arts degrees in theological study programs next year.
“This decision reflects EDS’ commitment to making theological education accessible to a wide range of students,” said the Rev. Randall Chase, acting president in a release. “For several years we have been looking for ways to address the problem of access to an Episcopal seminary education: our distributive learning master’s program makes access possible for students unable to relocate for two to three years; reducing tuition for our fall and spring master’s students, in combination with our financial aid program, helps to reduce seminarian debt, which often serves as a barrier to studying at EDS.”

I wonder.
It’s still over charging for what students get in the realm of Christian/Anglican formation
Well, good luck with that. Seabury tried that the year before they closed their M.Div. Program.
That it is some form of education is certainly more-or-less obvious. That it is theological, perhaps. Did they mean re-education? As in training wordlings in the Faith of Christian Church once delivered so that they were converted and could take the message into a culture that despised it?

Is Marvin Ellison still on the faculty or appearing frequently as a keynote speaker?
Can I get an even bigger discount if I’m willing to live in a polyamorous commune?!!
