Even better is an end to denominational seminaries.  You can certainly have
classes on the polity stuff you think you ought to want to know, but a lot
of great learning happens at a seminary that does not happen in a school
run by one church just for its own kids.

I had lots of friends who were from a fundamentalist background and hence
we had conversations in our seminary you just could not even have the
vaguest chance of having at a denominational-centered school.
