When I applied for admission to seminary, part of the application process involved a physical examination. As I talked with the physician about going to seminary, he commented, “Most doctors are highly trained but poorly educated.” The distinction was not one that I had heard before, and it puzzled me. When I asked what he meant, he said that members of his profession were taught to perform tasks rather than to respond to ideas. From that physician’s comment I learned an important distinction: education is not the same thing as training.
