The Pastoral Studies Institute (PSI) has been charged to recruit, guide and assist non-traditional students who aspire to the pastoral ministry through their pre-seminary and seminary training. Why? In view of the array of challenges our synod faces in these day, why now? Our traditional program is producing a sufficient quantity of pastors. Do we even need non-traditional students? Besides, what makes us think we know how to prepare men from different cultural and language backgrounds for ministry? What will we do with these men after they have completed their education?
