My first Pastor Joe Gwynn whom I consider to be a true Modern day Puritan Pastor.

I would like to ask you if the Spurgeon college grads would be considered as not having been formally trained. Al Martin at Trinity doesn't hand out the sheep skins either.

BTW, I am not fully condoning the practice but do recognize that some men are called to Pastor that have not been formally trained.
