It will not happen anytime soon because:

1. Government should stay out of the religion business and so shouldn't contribute.
2. Christians, Catholics, Jews, Buddhists, etc. already give to THEIR OWN organizations.
3. And finally, Paganism abhors the concept of "tithing," in other words, Pagans are cheap!

I'm a Wiccan Pagan and have tried to start a couple of Pagan organizations and these people just don't want to give! At least, not enough to make a difference. So that's why no Pagan seminary.

I am not alone, nor am I truly one of a few. I have heard voices speaking up all across the country and even in other countries, wishing to have a program or programs such as these. The silence is here to be broken, and the ringing of one voice shall be joined by others. I say to any and all who read this, who support and think why not, to stand behind this cause. If a Catholic, a Hasidic Jew, a Sunni, A Buddhist or a Sikh can have such open and funded for them, why not have such a program for us pagans. We are not few, we are not small and with this we can truly show you our voice. Not in some tyrannical oppressive speach or inviolent actions against others...but in a peaceful way, a proper way and a way that speaks to all our brethren and sisters.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B3CB83F5-4809-40E6-A6ED-96371A6EE96B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
