Martin,
Are you suggesting the seminary move into the church? If so, I like the suggestion.

The understanding of Spitiual formation and servant leadership styles learned through a combination of class study and mentored experience. We need a good network of good ministry mentors. Finally, training schools must find ways to equip a range of people, beyond the seminarian or other matriculated student, for the ministry of preaching. To reach our world for Christ, we need a multitude of lay people (if such a term is even appropriate), to announce the gospel in every corner of our nation, indeed around the globe. These preachers can benefit from instruction in preaching even though they will not earn a degree in one of our evangelical institutions. We will do well to provide training for them in the context where they live and work. I love this quote by stutzman which highlights the two much needed skill development areas.
