Grad school for God's HR department — where doubt goes to get credentialed.
means A school for training people to become priests, ministers, or religious leaders.
from From Latin 'seminarium,' meaning 'seed plot' or 'nursery' for plants — itself from 'semen,' seed. The word originally meant any place where young things were cultivated to grow, and by the 16th century it had taken root (sorry) as the word for institutions that cultivate future clergy — minds planted early, tended carefully, harvested into the priesthood.
