A seminary is an educational institution focused on training individuals for religious leadership, particularly within the Christian faith. Students at seminaries often study theology, scripture, and pastoral care to prepare for roles such as pastors, ministers, or priests. Seminaries can vary in size and structure, with some affiliated with specific denominations, like the Catholic Church or Protestant groups. Many seminaries also offer advanced degrees, such as a Master of Divinity, which is commonly required for ordination in various religious traditions.
