The only way in which an Eastern Christian college would have sufficiently critical mass to survive would be through the cooperation of all jurisdictions--Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Church of the East. However, I do not think we--or more specifically, our hierarchs--have the requisite level of emotional maturity to put aside their confessional differences in order to serve the common good.

At least the chapel would be used all day with four different chapel services every day. Of course, deciding who gets what time for the chapel might be as difficult as deciding who gets the next shot at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The students better come to school with brooms and sticks in hand.

I would prefer for all non-Eucharistic services to be held in common, rotating through the different rites for Vespers, Orthros, and Compline. At this point, only the Eucharistic services need be held separately.
