The last seminary I went to, a very conservative reformed one - they generally accepted a lot of students from an christian undergraduate school, however they told them to be out in the world for atleast two years before entering seminary. I think thats a good idea, only I would up it to atleast 3-4 years. You have to see a bit of life first. Time also is a good test for calling. If this is what you are really about and this is not just some phase ...<BR/><BR/>I have heard that there is a high burn out rate for pastors also.rgbraohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243742903460712693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-1132190927634397442005-11-16T19:28:00.000-06:002005-11-16T19:28:00.000-06:00Yes, I too have seen this problem.

I will weigh in on that topic after you post yours.Diane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442757505452061995noreply@blogger.com
