A Church on its Deathbed
From No Other Foundation by Fr. Lawrence R. Farley, and Ancient Faith Ministries

About this episode
The episode discusses the contrast between the vibrant portrayal of a seminary and the reality of its denomination's decline.
Recently I read a copy of the alumni magazine from a mainline Protestant seminary. It was very well done and showcased a number of people, both faculty and students, all fervent in their faith and zealous to serve the Lord. It presented the seminary, as it intended to do, as a place of thriving faith, burgeoning mission, and robust spiritual health, which I’m sure it is. Reading it you would never know that the seminary was part of a denomination (which I will not identify) that is on its deathbed.
