Interesting article in the Colorado Springs Independent about the John Jay Institute, another “train up the politicians of tomorrow to be good Christian theocrats” school (excuse me, “para-academic institution”) operating out of the basement of Grace & St Stephens Church down in the Springs — the Episcopal property currently being squatted on by Rev Don Armstrong and his CANA congregation.
(Though the article notes that the Institute is actually moving to the Hearthstone Inn — one year lease with an option to buy the $2MM property — apparently it will just hold classes there, and it’s HQ will still remain at Grace.)
Not surprisingly, Armstrong’s “spokesman” Alan Cripppen is the President of the Institute, with Armstrong being one of the luminaries on the board of directors. One does wonder where all the money for scholarships and property is coming from.
(via Fr Jake, who has a few further comments on the subject)
Ohhh….
It would be wonderful if it all works out that Armstrong and G&SS are in violation of there tax exempt status.
