When I initially went to Westminster, thinking that I would be challenged in my faith and intellect, I could not have prepared myself for the ways in which I was actually challenged. Westminster was undergoing something of a political turmoil as I entered there. The faculty and staff were divided over the writing of Professor Peter Enns. This created a toxic environment at the Seminary. And Enns was only the tip of the iceberg.

After not a few questionable political moves, two other professors were dismissed; one professor being moved to "retire." It is finally the unchristian handling of these things that moves me to caution all those who are thinking to attend this seminary. Westminster is not a place where you will grow spiritually, unless you wish to grow by choosing to undergo a time of trial. Toxic is the word that must be used again.

I would not waste my money by going to Westminster.
