Was beginning to think none of you were going to blog on this, so why no comment? We've known many of the former interns who went from SMU Perkins and they found it to be a phenomenal experience. We couldn't afford it, so interned in the US. I am guessing someone noticed that the Christians were getting in and the Muslims were being vetted harder. In addition, we used to ordain our probationers as deacons but no longer do that, they are probably not even commissioned, thus caught in the "unintended" consequenses of a law aimed elsewhere. And the "unintended" consequenses of our changing the ordination process.
Why no comment? Well, the story seems more like a bureaucratic screw-up than religious or national discrimination, in spite of the inflammatory headline.
