Category talk:Presbyterian universities and colleges

August 2006

This category is very small (12 entries) and consists mostly of Category:Presbyterian Church (USA) Seminaries (10 entries).

It might be more useful to readers to have a couple of larger but mutually exclusive categories

• Category:Reformed seminaries and theological colleges for those focusing on Divinity (academic discipline) and ordinand training like the PC(USA) seminaries, Westminster College, Cambridge and Calvin Theological Seminary, and
• Category:Reformed universities and colleges for liberal arts colleges like Calvin College affiliated with Presbyterian and Reformed churches.

There will be limited overlap where a school provides both general education and ordinand training.

What do you think? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 08:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Great work! I have added a few seminaries (and former seminaries). I did not yet add places like Knox College, Illinois, The Scots College or Presbyterian Ladies' College, Perth.

Perhaps we could rename it [[Category:Presbyterian seminaries and theological colleges]] to match with the naming of other sub-categories in Category:Seminaries and theological colleges? That way the category focuses on pastoral education and theology. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 08:12, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Neither The Scots College nor Presbyterian Ladies' College, Perth are theological colleges. They are schools. Blarneytherinosaur 08:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC) comment copied from Talk:Presbyterianism

Exactly. Similarly, Knox College, Illinois is not a theological college, it is a liberal arts college. That is my motivation for proposing renaming the category.

By the way, Category:Presbyterian schools has Category:Presbyterian universities and colleges as a sub-category. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC) comment copied from Talk:Presbyterianism
