I must admit here, I read what you said without my glasses on.
You said:
And there aren't many good seminaries either
Instead of seeing the word “many”, I saw the word “any”.
That was why I used the word “pessimistic”.
I apologize.
Like you, if one chooses to go to a seminary; they should be very choosy.
A while back, over coffee I was talking to my pastor about their search for another pastor for the Church.
Their search was a very frustrating one, as the Church had put together a series of questions for potential candidates.
Although they interviewed quite a few seminary trained candidates. They did not even find one, that did not have some liberal beliefs.
While, they eventually found one. That person, was from an established Church from a different province, who was looking to move to B.C.
Him and his wife and two small children, have been at the Church for more than a year now and fortunately he is a good pastor.
