[Magdalen] The Value of Seminary in a World Gone Mad | Kyle Roberts

[Jay Weigel]

Depends on the person and the seminary, I would think. My priest graduated
from an Orthodox seminary and has a boatload of theology. Of course he was
a philosophy major in college and had an interesting religious background
before that, so I'm sure that makes a great deal of difference. Somewhere
along the line he also picked up a social work minor too so he could do an
"outside" job. He's one of the best educated people I know around here.
