  RICHMOND, July 1 - A festive collection of displays promoting Presbyterian theological seminaries were arrayed outside the General Assembly plenary hall Wednesday evening.

The "Seminary Fair" was a perfect venue for seminary alums and prospective students to mix and chat.

Representatives of all 10 PC(USA) seminaries were on hand to hand out brochures and branded tsotchkes.

Kerry Rice, director of admissions at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, said graduates were checking in to see what's new at their respective alma maters. "I'm also talking with a lot of young adults who are considering a career in ministry," he said.
