I was thinking of more "recent vintage" i.e. men who graduated from WTS within the last 10 years or less. |

Covenant scares me a little because it's more Broadly Evangelical than Truly Reformed, or so it seems to me.
If I were to attend a seminary, I would attend one of the RTS campuses, hands-down, but then I would not be going to seminary to be a pastor anyway. | I think I get what "truly reformed" is, but what are you saying "broadly evangelical" is? To me, broadly evangelical means semi-pelagian. Covenant certainly is not that. If I had it to do over, I'd go to Covenant again, no doubt. I'm definitely not "broadly evangelical". | | |
