(Or anyone who might want to answer)
Anyone who has ever applied to be accepted in a seminary program knows that the seminary looks for (among others) a sessional recommendation. This is very standard procedure.

Southern Baptist seminaries expect recommendations from the applicant's home church with at least three other recommendations. Generally those come from the local Executive Director and a couple of other experienced pastors.
