Hey ladies! There's a new class just for us!
Seminary launches homemaking for women

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=13886275

:puke:

Here are a couple of press releases from the school:

‘Homemaking is Noble,’ Patterson says on Fox News
http://www.swbts.edu/pressreleases/story.cfm?id=61190B2E-15C5-E47C-F9DD95D614158528

SWBTS women’s studies dean outlines homemaking concentration on national radio show
http://www.swbts.edu/pressreleases/story.cfm?id=8F266DB9-FB28-DBD3-A54B593345AA8FD8

God help them if they saw my house right now. My dirty child is rolling around nekkid on the floor, the laundry hasn't been done in days and my husband knows better than to ask when he'll ever taste a hot meal again.

I'm single-handedly bringing down Christianity with my lack of homemaking skills! Wee-hee!!!!!

(All that aside, I do think the Western Thought, Greek and Latin aspects of the course would be very interesting.)

1. Back in the day, they used to call this the MRS degree.
Lordy, Lordy....There goes their accredidation.

When the fundies took over the Baptist seminaries, schools like Duke (where I went) got flooded with Baptist refugees. (One of them told me they were sick of hearing about Methodists all the time. When I told her that Duke Div School WAS a United Methodist School, she was shocked. This was after she was there for two years. :eyes:)

2. I wonder if they get extra credit for getting a Jesus on toast.

5. While everybody could do with a Home Ec course
in school (we had it in 9th grade), this is just silly.

I learned to do all these things growing up, plus keep a job. :P
