RICHMOND, July 1 - A festive collection of displays promoting Presbyterian
theological seminaries were arrayed outside the General Assembly plenary hall
Wednesday evening.

The "Seminary Fair" was a perfect venue for seminary alums and prospective
students to mix and chat.

Representatives of all 10 PC(USA) seminaries were on hand to hand out
brochures and branded chachkies.

Kerry Rice, director of admissions at Louisville Presbyterian Theological
Seminary, said graduates were checking in to see what's new at their
respective alma maters. "I'm also talking with a lot of young adults who are
considering a career in ministry," he said.

Craig Howard, director of recruitment and admissions for McCormick
Theological Seminary in Chicago, said he was fielding lots of inquiries about
his institution's degree programs.

Each seminary contributed books by faculty members for free drawings.

The PC(USA) seminaries are Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Austin,
TX; Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, GA; University of Dubuque
Theological Seminary, Dubuque, IA; Louisville Presbyterian Theological
Seminary, Louisville, KY; McCormick Theological Seminary, Chicago, IL;
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh, PA; Princeton Theological
Seminary, Princeton, NJ; San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo and
Pasadena, CA; Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary, Atlanta, GA; and Union
Theological Seminary & Presbyterian School of Christian Education, Richmond,
VA and Charlotte, NC.
