We find that taking Highway 30 northeast is the best route so we get off of 29 at Mo Valley.where was he pastor!? i went to college in blair, so i have been through mo valley iowa often!
Can anyone tell me why it's necessary for a seminary student to have a Bachelor's degree? Especially since the school seemingly, couldn't care less what that degree is in???
If you'll forgive me, it sounds like academic snobbery.
In order to earn a Masters degree, one must first have a Bachelor's degree. You need to be able to work at that academic level.
There are certain requirements that must be met in order to enroll in the MDiv program. Many Bachelor programs do have similar requirements, especially if its from a Christian college. Plus, the seminary offers certain "pre-sem" courses that must be satisfactorily completed in order to be able to take any MDiv course work.
There are also other seminary programs that don't necessarily require a Bachelor's degree, but the requirements are much different, and they are not Master's level study. There is no degree given.
One might ask, if there is no degree given for the work, why enter into that field of study. As human beings we work for something and if we are giving our money to an institution we want proof that our education was worth the money we paid for it.
Which is why I'm not a fan of the Alternate Route or DELTO programs. I mean, who is it that dictates why some need the full academic program to be a parish pastor and why others don't need that study. I've never been able to understand how a pastor is to be able to apply the Old Testament to his preaching and bible study if he never studies it in Hebrew (which is not required for the AR certification). And DELTO has changed their requirements a few times since I first looked into it. I have no idea what the academic requirements are for that anymore.
"Mr. O'Hara, there is illness at the Slattery house. Emmie's baby has been born and is dying and must be baptized. I am going there with Mammy to see what I can do."
Out of the blue, here I am reading about babies needing baptizing where I least expected it
What are the requirements of entry to DELTO. I just read their brochure and it is unclear. For instance with my AB degree what would I have to have to qualify for the DELTO program?Which is why I'm not a fan of the Alternate Route or DELTO programs.

What's up? Can't type with our mouths full of pie? Keep talkin' folks.Hey, everybody's in the kitchen! How about some pie and coffee.....I'll serve.
A friend of mine from high school and I e-mail occasionally and she has begged me to read Gone With The Wind so we can have online discussions about it.
Ok, so I checked the book out from the library and started reading this this afternoon. Near the beginning of the book, Scarlett's mother Ellen has to go to a neighbor's house...here's a few lines and I think you guys will appreciate it:

Clyde Autry---Yea from LQ--seen his posts---if he could do the program I sure could---he's different.I believe the AR program allows for the student to trade 10 years of church involvement (Usher, Elder, Sunday School teacher, President of congregation etc.) for one year of academic training which means that they have 3 years left and of those 3 years, one is a vicarage.
I have met a few guys here at FW that are on the AR program and they are nice guys, but will their education be adequate?
As for DELTO, I agree 100% with your analysis. I have heard of people in that program (Clyde Awtrey from WRM) and I wouldn't want to be in his church if he was pastor. I know from some of the Professors here that they are still tinkering with this program and there may be a major restructuring in the next couple of years.
AR still gets something out of the deal, but not an MDIV.
Low-sugar for my bro, Rad. *picky, picky*Hi Sis--Is the pie low sugar?---aw heck--I'll have some anyway
