The mormons don’t have seminaries, and bishops aren’t necessarily theologians in any denomination.

In any case, a bishop in the mormon church (from my experience) was similar to the pastor of a local church. He wasn’t necessarily over a large region with dozens to hundreds of churches. But, even those regional bishops aren’t necessarily theologians.

I know of one current bishop, for example, who was a successful Christian Camp leader.

And while you’re at it, google LDS Seminary. I am a graduate, BTW and so is Mitt.

“The mormons don’t have seminaries, and bishops aren’t necessarily theologians...”

True words. And it shows.

Actually, at some of the big high schools around here there are actually LDS seminaries right next door to the schools. If I recall correctly, the one in Page, Arizona, is actually on school property.
