Where seminaries have failed?

Too many seminaries lack true mentoring programs.

Jesus taught the Twelve by being with and traveling daily for three years. Now seminaries have nailed the time spent, most are three year programs, yet seminaries lack an ability to daily spend time with their students. As a seminar student I understand concepts and the importance of education and of understand theological issues. Yet, I need more than education when preparing for ministry. I must have the ability to mentor others into God's work in their lives. This is a tall task that seminaries must try to provide for their students. Seminaries are unable to do what Jesus did with the Twelve but suppose seminaries had a closer relationship with their students. How powerful would it be for seminaries to spend time in church, home, and class of their professors?
Student also need to be willing to branch out and spend time in church and not just in the classrooms. The problem with mentoring is not the concept but actually living it out. True mentoring takes time, effort, and dedication from both parties.
