I count choosing to attend seminary among the absolute worst decisions of my life. Many among the progressive 'mainstream' churches refuse to accept that their denominations are endangered, and almost sure to be extinct in a generation or two. This article presents an entirely unbalanced view of seminary and what it can do for aspiring clergy. There should be at least some mention of the job stress, the dim prospects for employment, and the crushing debt that also comes with the choice to attend. It is unlike choosing another profession in almost every way.
