Yes, but the way a search goes, Trinity and Nashotah candidates have to go through the diocesan office. Ain't no way that candidate's going through if the bishop's heterodox or a company man/woman. I was part of a search committee and any Nashotah or Trinity candidate's resume was tossed into the trash bin...that's if he managed to slip through the deployment officer's scrutiny at the diocesan house. Then the bishop has to consent if the search committee manages to choose a Trinity or Nashotah candidate. So you've got all these graduates with nowhere to go in TEC.

Same deal for a Christian Ed director search process that I was in. No Trinity School grad made it past the deployment officer. Then there's the deployment officers' quarterly or semi-annual gatherings where they trade info (kinda like trading athletes) on the different candidates. These guys know the scoop on their priests. There's nothing deadlier to these guys than having a Trinity or Nashotah graduate.

What you said.

The Diocese of Atlanta is hopeless, the bishop is a big bud of Griswold and Schori. He would no more consider a Nashotah or Trinity graduate than he would march naked down Peachtree Street . . . in fact he would be more likely to do the latter if it involved a Gay Pride parade or some such nonsense . . .
