Paulin (Michael) Blecker     Miscellaneous Notes   We know that Michael Blecker, former Dean of the seminary and President of the College was actively homosexual and died of AIDS related causes. There was some talk about his inappropriate behavior at St. Johns, but I have no validation that any took place there with minors. (Sipe) "Following a battle of several years with cancer, Father Michael Blecker resigned the presidency of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley last fall and returned to the Abbey where he died peacefully on 12 May."
