In England a lot of the seminary education occurs in ecumenical 
settings, mainly Anglican and Methodist but sometimes including a 
broader spectrum.  Given that what unites us is greater than what 
divides us it seems to me that there is value in all students studying 
the ecclesiology and emphases of the various traditions so as to produce 
greater understanding and better ecumenical relations.
