A word from the seminarian: The time has come to talk of many things

Abstract

For many, a call to ministry is a time to talk of many things. Theological education is not something to be taken lightly. An acceptance of a call to ministry requires careful consideration of the correct institution of higher education. Furthermore, theological education is a time in which those called to ministry begin to explore and refine the calling—to find the place in which God has called them to minister, whether that is a church, a hospital, a foreign country, or a classroom. The changing landscape of this post-modern, post-Christian world will require seminaries and divinity schools to change, it will require ministers to change, and it will require ministry to change.
