[Anglican Mainstream] 26 Jan 2008--Ed: Well, it’s not the actual headline, or indeed the story, but it is the response of Anglican officialdom to new government proposals to charge full fees to students taking a second degree of the same or lower level than their first - which would indeed include a lot of trainee clergy. However, the ‘case against’ presented by the director of the Ministry Division overlooks the fact that the Church of England has been downgrading theological training from degree level for decades, encouraging people onto part-time courses and precisely the two year foundation degrees it now apparently says are not suitable for the “brightest and best”. Just as a ‘for instance’, how many ordinands study Greek, let alone Hebrew, to any level of competence?
