Nashotah House Theological Seminary honored the Very Reverend Charles Hough, III, Vicar for Clergy in the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, with the Distinguished Alumnus Award. Fr. Hough is the first Roman Catholic priest to be so honored.Distinguished alumnus awards are typically given in response to a substantial contribution. I don't know if this was the case here, but if it was, Fr Hough III was presumably doing quite well.
Fr. Hough said, "Nashotah House is very gracious to give this honor. I was indeed humbled to receive the award, and it was also a joy to be a part of the group from the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter who were in attendance on Alumni Day at Nashotah House."Msgr. Steenson, himself a former Board member of Nashotah House, joined with Fr. Hough's family and friends at the presentation.
From a Catholic point of view, Nashotah House is no less compromised than any other Episcopal seminary, since it follows the TEC line on nearly every issue. This also fuels the view I've heard that Jeffrey Steenson was deeply compromised, by his membership on the Nashotah House board as well as by advancing in TEC while finessing any disagreements he may have had with its policy developments in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.
Might it be time to delete this three-year-old entry from the site?
