This just seemed like a back handed comment, but maybe is was not intended to be.
I took what he said as, he was trying to find ways of getting a seminary education, possibly to see what happens down the road.
I was simply trying to show him that there were alternatives to the traditional brand of seminary, which is not for everyone, not everyone is called to be a pastor but that does not exclude them from learning or doing something more than just attending church.
Dabbling! I have talked with many pastors who have jumped through all the right hoops and it seems like all they did was
dabble in theology at seminary.
I won't speak anymore for him or presume to know what he meant...
