Capitol Hill Baptist Internship

Below is a snippet from the Capitol Hill Baptist Church website detailing their pastoral internship program (read the full thing here: http://www.capitolhillbaptist.org/we-provide/internships/description/). Sounds exciting. Not sure how I feel about not giving interns much in the way of actual ministry practice, but I think no matter what a young man couldn't fail to benefit from such an experience.

"What do you get when you drop six budding theologians into the perfect church, and attempt to grow their preaching, teaching, and other ministry gifts by plunging them headlong into practical and theological training? We aren’t really sure. You will have to check with some other church.

Nothing fancy happens in the Capitol Hill Baptist Church (CHBC) pastoral internship program. We simply want to unveil regular, day-to-day ministerial life and provide men aspiring to be pastors with an ecclesiological and pastoral grid for doing the work of ministry. How should the church be organized? Who should lead the church? Does the Bible discuss church membership? How does church polity affect the functionality of the local church? In addition to observing church life today, CHBC interns will spend much of their time engaging in conversation with great pastors and theologians from the past."
