Radical Chic crisis hits Presbyterian seminary faculty
The Christian Century laments a drought of qualified staff at Protestant seminaries amid economic strain and dwindling alumni support. It highlights San Francisco Theological Seminary president Arnold Come decrying a phantom issue while Rev. W. Hazarah Williams faces questions over his Urban Black Center and questionable accreditation. Williams’s past discipline and the center’s funding requests shadow GTU, as John Fry joins the faculty amid mass terminations. Critics call it radical chic and a push for relevance in denominational leadership.
