I did not detect anyone teaching anything outside of the Confession from the Professors - they are great. Many resent having to keep silent about some of these issues.
I transferred to GPTS this year. All the staff are preachers and women cannot take the Divinity programs. And if women have some classes that our ususlly assoicated with the Divinity degrees they are encouraged to not debate with the men but to learn quitely. |
I was not aware of this at RTS-Charlottee. It is certainly not Presbyterian polity to admit women into preaching classes. Dr. Michael Milton is the new President at the Charlottee campus and is a good friend. He is solidly Reformed, so perhaps these issues will be addressed. | Please keep me posted.
