Pastors: How Seriously do you take the Training of Young Ministers?

I'd still like to hear some answers to the initial questions this thread posed:

QUESTION A / PASTORS: How many of you Pastors take mentoring young ministers seriously and what are some of the things you do to teach and train them.

QUESTION B / MINISTERS: What things did your Pastor do that seemed to help you the most as you were maturing in ministry?

I had a great idea a while ago. Why don't you write a book on this subject. Tell about your experiences. What you do with your young preachers, etc. Give a list of what pastors should be teaching their youngsters. You could get other ideas from Pastors that teach their young ones, etc. I'm sure some pastors don't have a clue as to the fact that they should be teaching their young ones, and wouldn't have any idea what to teach them. Most pastors that I sat under would have me preach but that was it!
