Ian - I sure did. I was at DB for about a year and a half before Rob clinched it. You were there?

Panic - thanks for your input. And everyone else, I still hope to receive some more. My wife's parents live there, and we would like some kind of family support for when we have children that we just don't have here in Boston, sadly.

I go to GCTS now - Regents sounds a little more liberal. I'm comfortable with that, I guess. I would like to be in a Reformed seminary, but I'm really looking for the church to be my prime source of education, esp. doctrine, not the seminary. And as I think about it, it occurs to me that if the Lord ever calls me to a pastoral position, most of my congregation will not be reformed (at least, they probably won't start out that way :wink ) And who knows, maybe somebody who isn't reformed will catch onto something that the reformers never did.

However, I am committed to my denomination (PCA), not only to be a part of it but to submit to it as much as I can. As far as I know, I do agree with the tenents of Westminister, with a couple of exceptions that I haven't yet studied.

So here's a broader question: Should reformed Christians go to non-reformed seminaries?

Hmmm . . .
