Congratulations! And thank you very much. One further question: How much theology is now required in the colleges?

Re: homosexuality. I was just reminded of the old term marriage in jest , an occurance that seems common these days even between man and woman. Among homosexuals it seems to be the norm. So mockery is the right word.

In the College (and I believe the other schools as well, but I am not as sure about them) a minimum of two semesters of Theology are required. The first course must be either "The Problem of God" (taught by many different professors so each section has its own spin) or Introduction to Biblical Literature. For the second semester students may choose an intermediate-level elective; there is quite a broad range of these, so while many students choose to focus on Christianity a/o Catholicism, many others study other world religions or a variety of religions.
