My ecclesiology class is beyond weak. I have been in class for close to ten weeks now and the only thing we have discussed is...
1) there is a universal church
2) there is a local church
3) there is a pre-trib rapture of the church
4) the church started at Pentecost
There has been absolutely nothing of real worth discussed (I am thinking Word, sacrament, discipline, or purpose for example).
This has caused me to think. If seminaries take ecclesiology so lightly (I know I am broadstroking and am sure our reformed seminaries do better), it is no wonder why our churches take church so lightly.
Do you think that if seminaries would equip our pastors with a greater understanding of ecclesiology that our churches would be stronger?
