If you want to serve in a confessional Protestant communion as a minister, where should you go to seminary? Related to this is the role that seminaries play in the life of a denomination. Lutherans have closer ties to their seminaries, Presbyterians are all over the place (even though the OPC and PCA depended on seminaries for their start), and Anglicans rely often on evangelical and mainline institutions. Then there is the question of the laity (and especially women) and where they receive formal theological education. This episode has ideas, maybe a few answers.

Korey Maas teaches history at Hillsdale College. He also talks a lot about Lutheranism of the LCMS variety.

Miles Smith teaches history at Hillsdale College. He writes about Anglicanism.

D. G Hart teaches history at Hillsdale College. He talks about Presbyterians sometimes with other Presbyterians.
