Evangelical Seminary is interested in orthodoxy, in this particular case a kind of hyper- rational Calvinism. Theological correctness is a high value. Mainline Seminary's main concern is orthopraxy. It values encounter education where a person comes up against prejudices, preferences and the like. Social justice, inclusiveness, human dignity are understood as signs of the kingdom.
Political correctness is valued.
Each seminary seems to have a group that gets picked on. Mainline Seminary sees that white males understand how they have misused power and are often confronted by women, ethnic folks and liberation theology. Evangelical Seminary often gives women a hard time, since several faculty do not feel they belong in church leadership. Both groups experience some tough times, but at the end feel that have grown and matured. The students leave having internalized the ideas and values, though not every student buys the whole package.
