What would you think or say of such an occurrence at a Christian seminary?

I looked at the link. It is not clear to me what you are asking us. Would you be so kind as to clarify your point? Thanks, brother.
Peace,

Brian:
I had to look around the Acadia site to determine that this is a Baptist institution. Why would such a school have such favorable interaction with the Vatican? Good question and not a good sign for the spiritual health of the seminary.
Peace,

One of his best known books is called Crossing the Threshold of Hope, an aggressive ecumenical and universal manifesto, really. He said this, "The Muslims worship the one true God. Hinduism is another means of taking refuge in the one true God. Buddhists have God's help in reaching true enlightenment." He said, "There is much that is holy and true in all false religions and even animism can prepare a person's heart to receive the truth of Christ." Basically he said God helps every man create his own personal salvation by doing good and the Holy Spirit, he says, operates in every religion. Boy, this is the message everybody would like to hear, right? Stay where you are and do your best.
it was suggested of me, just last week, that I forgo my studies at that seminary and start over in a reformed institution.
So this is your school?
It is not surprising consider the pope said in his book to quote John Macathur from his sermon 'Pope and the Papacy'

But a Baptist church, that is sad. Well American evangellyfishism is liberal at every turn so it is not surprising but truly lamentable.
If it is your church I would say its a deal breaker, get out of there as fast as you can unless you have a special calling to combat it Jude style.

Why should you need to start over? If you shop around, you could probably find an institution that would accept some of your credits.

4. Use Proper Grammar, Punctuation, and Capitalization
If English is not your second language, then you are expected to show other board members the courtesy of properly punctuating and capitalizing your posts. It is commonplace on the web to disregard these rules but improper grammar does not demonstrate consideration toward others who are trying to understand what you communicate. Mistakes in grammar are understandable but willful sloth may result in posts being deleted if they are consistently sloppy.
Brian, may the Lord bless you in these decisions. I think this is the most important consideration:
Join a church. Come under leadership. <---- horse
Seminary. Ministry <---- cart
