I'm actually currently enrolled at Trinity at their extension campus in south Florida. I'm finishing up my BA there and should have it done by December. I realize that their Divinity school in Deerfield is doubtless different from my experience with their undergrad university here in Florida, but I get a taste of what Trinity offers even now. And yeah, both TEDS and GCTS were on my shortlist a while back.
But it came down to two things that made me elevate RTS Orlando to the top slot. 1) They are Reformed and I am definitely interested in learning from Reformed professors, and 2) Orlando is a manageable distance from where both my wife's family and my family live (Miami). If we have a baby anytime soon, it'll be near-impossible to continue with seminary if I'm at South Hamilton, MA, for example.
What I meant to communicate by stating that adherence to confessionalism not being my primary concern is not that I prefer a broad perspective to a Reformed perspective. No, I definitely prefer a Reformed perspective. But take Dr. Frame for example, I fit in with someone like him quite well and he's not exactly the confessional poster boy. I reject the RPW, for example. I'm also not a strict cessationist, but more of a modified cessationist (or restricted continuationist, if you like). You get my drift. |
