Hi Brian! I'm going to comment on what you've said:

Of course.

I've seen both ways: too many people turned away from Jesus, and a lot 
of people who enriched the faith of their community and themselves 
because of their Seminary education.

Of course. But I don't think this should be taken as an ironclad 
alternative.

A theologian _is_ a worker, too. The church needs theologians today, and 
perhaps more than ever.Theologians commited to the Word of God that has 
been revealed without admixture of error, and yet fully in touch with 
current trends and news, and with their community's needs and worries. 
We need people able to apply the revealed and inerrant Word of God to 
our world in a responsible, yet uncompromising, way.

Blessings,


Eduardo
