In memoriam: the educated pastor

October 16, 2008

SED President Diefenthaler is reporting to the district this morning that one-third of our new pastors are being trained “in the field” via the SMP program, among other alternate tacks to ordination. “This is a significant development,” he said. He meant it positively, but I think it is a sign of the end. Pastors of [...]
