How Would I Change Seminary Training?

Okay, imagine you're in charge of the seminary. How would you prepare pastors differently? What would you change?

GJ - I am straining to imagine it. Getting rid of the Wauwautosa delusions would be essential. The worst thing about the Wisconsin sect and the Little Sect on the Prairie is this - Synod Worship. If one must always bow to the synod's Talmudic glosses on everything, what is the point of studying the Scriptures and using the Book of Concord as a rabbit's foot?

If a senile professor invents something even more preposterous than the previous incarnation of UOJ, the synod must be follow lest the old geezer be found wrong.

As District Pope Nitz wrote in one of his threatening letters to me, "You are taking on the whole seminary faculty!"

I think the system has to unravel before something new replaces it.

If a pastor can be known as adulterous and get promoted for it, the synod has not changed. A lot of pastors need to resign, retire, or go to prison before substantial changes take place.
