Aims of some inside a seminary (5)
I believe the answer is:
ideas
'aims' is the definition.
(I know this)
'some inside a seminary' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'IDEAS' can be found hidden inside 'inside a seminary'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ideas that I've seen before include "Thoughts, concepts" , "Thoughts, personal views" , "thinking" , "Aside (anag.)" , "Brainwaves" .)
