I thought we were done with hearing about this new age crap… I hadn’t heard anyone mention the “E” word since I was making fun of it 12 years ago in seminary… It was – at best – passe then. Now I come to read that someone somewhere is still having to deal with this TOTAL crap in a diaconate formation program.
It just goes to show that there is nothing new under the sun (Eccl. 1:9)..
So below are listed some decent articles to take a look at… Articles I thought for sure no one would be reading 10 years ago because I thought no one would still be messing around with this new age silliness. 80s modernism dies hard in some places I suppose.

SS,
I didn’t know you went to Seminary. You are full of surprises! 8)
I still have the cassocks to prove it.
Did you make it to any Orders?
just marching orders!
Just kidding, I left before any orders.
I went to an Enneagram workshop given by a friend’s monther. What c**p!! Yeah, let’s divide the entire human population into 9 personality types. Gee, that makes sense.
The enneagram did not pinpoint my personality at all. I walked away scratching my head wondering why anyone would buy in to this inaccurate, new age garbage!!
