As for alternatives there are a number of shorter \"ministry training\" schools. For instance in my context we have an Every Nation School of Ministry (2-4 months) and and Every Nation School of World Missions (5 months?). Though students in these do a lot of reading and write some papers, it\'s not really an academic environment, in the strictest sense of the word. The focus of the learning leans heavily to an emphasis on application. I think programs like these can serve as a great way to get some intensive training, especially for those just starting out. Ongoing learning can take place in things such as \"coaching networks\" and even within ministry teams that are intentional about learning together.
That said, I still think seminaries have a place... check out my next post for more of my thoughts on that. :)
