What is a Seminary? « Heidelblog
On R. Scott Clark's blog there is a post entitled “What is a Seminary?” with the following comment concerning improving "oability to educate students":
"5. Our students would come with sufficient financial support from their congregations so that they could concentrate on their studies."
In the ideal situation, do you think it best if a seminary student does not have to work either a full or part time job? Also, lets say that the seminary student's church cannot support him fully. Would it be wrong for the student to solicit his friends and family for additional financial funding in order to not have to work during seminary? (Sort of like investing their money into this man in hopes of making him an asset to Christ’s church).
Also, does anybody know how this has been viewed or practiced down through the centuries?
Are there any denominations that seek to not only pay for seminary but also the student's living expenses?
