That is quite a statement from both Frame and Spring - two seminarians (p.11).
| Concerning pastor's going off to seminary, if they haven't before they are pastors will they have the time while serving as pastors? Or would it be better for him to step down from the pastorate and continue serving in the church? This way he would have time and still be a part of the church. Or maybe some other compromise?
