This article draws implications from my recent study of the first 150 years of Clergy Education in America for Protestants, Catholics, Jews, African Americans and working class whites. I focus on the ability of these schools to prepare leaders for various arenas of public life: families, congregations, schools, voluntary associations, and publishing. The implications for today's seminaries include reframing historic pedagogies in the liberal arts, oratory, and debate; the formation of religious charisma and iconic leadership that are socially transmitted; the orientation of interpretive practices of sacred texts and traditions toward symbolic production; the reinvigoration of theologies that enrich faith communities and the public imagination; and reclaiming the missional nature of theological and rabbinical schools through public media, the arts, and populist pedagogies.
