As one who was blessed to go through "The System" of Pre-ministerial
training at Concordia High School, Milwaukee, Concordia Junior College,
Milwaukee, and Concordia Senior College, Ft Wayne, I have one hope
for today. That before a student enters one of our LCMS seminaries,
please attend an LCMS Concordia University.
I realize that many second career seminarians do not have that choice.
However, if a high school graduate feels called to the Holy Ministry,
it would help him immensely to have 4 years on a Lutheran University
campus and take some pre-ministerial courses.
