What One Thing Would You Change about Seminary?

I found a link to The Gospel Coalition with the title, What One Thing Would You Change about Seminary?  The responses from four current and former seminary professors—two well-known, two not—are interesting and telling.  D. A. Carson, and Jeff Louie give input which maintains the status quo of academic training with some adjustments.  Albert Mohler addresses the attitude of the seminarian.  Richard Pratt gives the most provocative response by noting how seminaries are largely impractical training institutes by dwelling on academics and sacrificing practical application.  Christian ministry training should have the former and but dwell on the latter in a hands-on format.

I like it.
