Right now, as you know, there aren't a lot of options besides the dinosaurs. Hopefully some great alternatives will start becoming more readily available soon. Thanks Nathan.

I'm reluctantly dragging myself to seminary for some courses part-time, but the things you've articulated keep me wondering why I'm investing myself in a dinosaur of an institution..

Great point. By criticizing the traditional seminary experience, we're not saying that ministers don't need training or higher education. What I think is sad is how the way we train and educate tomorrow's church leaders is the same way the government uses to mass educate today's youth. Come on, we can do much much better. Matt.
