But there's also the standard seminary ideal of having the students be
a worshiping community while they're there. Granted, this is easier to
form and sustain in a seminary like Nashotah House, out in the woods
and lakes of rural Wisconsin, where it's more like a Benedictine
monastery with few outside options. They take full advantage of that
and explicitly use the term Benedictine to describe what they're
aiming for.

So I think it's a bit more than having MP, Eucharist, and EP available
to students; it's that the seminary can become, perhaps for the only
time in some of the students' ministries, a community keeping the full
rule of worship. But I recognize that this value might not be
universally, um, valued.
