where i will not be going to seminary

so i'm in the midst of searching for a seminary. there are no decisions, but definitely some front runners. a lot of schools have a dual degree program, where i can go to school for 4 years and get my masters in divinity and my masters in social work. i'm totally biased to do this. 4 years and 2 masters?!?! plus the amount of work that a pastor does with local non profit organizations and government organizations (as far as helping out on boards for housing etc) is insane. if i can get a degree to help me do that better, i'm going to do it. and if you do a dual degree program it chops a year off each individual program. so 4 years, not 6 for the degrees.anyway. so there is a school in st.louis, eden seminary which partners with washington university to do the dual thing. then mccormick which is in chicago where you can do the dual thing, but i'm not sure what secular school is involved, louisville seminary which is in louisville (duh) and partners with the university of louisville. and then there's a seminary in lancaster with no dual program and one outside of atlanta with no dual program. so those are the choices right now. obviously if dad doesn't do well after his surgery lancaster might be the only choice (it's less than 3 hours from state college) but based solely on word of mouth and websites i'm loving st.louis.plus the msw program is very well recognized and would be a stellar education.

i will not be going to seminary here
and that i know for sure ;O)
happy monday! it's soggy here in state college, with no glimmer of sunlight in the near future. so i'm amusing myself with the internet. ok...back to work!
