They Came and Surely They Saw

Each year, the Seminary welcomes visitors in February for a special program, described this way on the website:

If you're in the discernment process as a postulant or exploring your faith and ministry as a lay leader, a visit to The School of Theology at the University of the South is your best way to experience Episcopal seminary education in Sewanee, Tenn. Student-organized and student-led, Come & See 2015 will introduce you to community life and theological formation in one of the most beautiful settings in the nation. Once on the Mountain for Come & See, your expenses -- food and campus lodging -- are covered by The School of Theology.

The signs went up and the weather began an exciting performance of its own: road-closing snow and ice with extreme low temperatures, followed by rain and fog so dense a mystery novel fan would feel she had walked into a scene with Sherlock Holmes himself. 

If any of the visitors decide to matriculate here, they will already have met the other great experience of Sewanee's community life: winter's capriciousness.
