[quote:0c051e687e]If you made that statement (which I have a hunch was for effect rather than reality) in my examination committee, you would never see the floor of presbytery, regardless of your other gifts or skills.[/quote:0c051e687e]

I don't want to be a pastor, or a 'minister of the Word' in that sence. I do not believe I am called to do that. If I made any prior references (that might be what you are thinking about) to that occupation, I no longer find it agreeable to my purposes (though I don't think I ever said anything like that).

I can DEFINITELY see where that would not go over too well if one did desired this ministry.

Must one be an ordained minister in order to teach church history, historical theology, and the likes?
