What Are People Saying About the Claremont University Project?

Recently I posted a link to the press conference where Claremont School of Theology officially announced the launch of the Claremont University Project - a multi-faith/interreligious graduate school/seminar. As expected, there has been a wide array of responses to the idea of a Christian seminary transforming itself into an explicitly interreligious institution. Some welcome it as the future of theological education, some as evidence of the natural end of a “weak,” Liberal version of Christianity, and others are simply confused about why this is news or why seminaries are still allowed to grant graduate degrees. Bloggers, religious organizations and news outlets have all reported on the project. Here are what some people are saying:
