Abstract	This article examines today's functioning of Christian seminaries. In contemporary America, the overwhelming percentage of seminaries focus on student intellectual development and theological accuracy. The author observes, however, that such an emphasis is a major departure from seminary historical practices in the United States and is contrary to the primary goals of the future ministers themselves and the congregations they serve. Evidence is presented that suggests that seminaries should return to more spiritually and practically based practices that are more in tune with the needs of both the future ministers themselves and their congregations. The author recommends steps that can be taken to accomplish this change. (As Provided).
