ordination exams.

ordination exams.

Friday, April 8, 2011

A group of pastors and I made an overnight bus journey north to G., a town in our state surrounded by unreached villages.  We conducted three days of ordination exams.

I was shocked by how little Bible knowledge several longstanding pastors had – like identifying Moses, Joshua, Cornelius, or when the Flood happened.  But others had studied well and passed.  Their names will be submitted to Anugraha Presbytery for consideration of ordination.

After passing my own ordination exam this month last year, it was very nice to sit on the other side of the table.

Of course, after several full days of exams, we had to break out for a little adventure.  The only thing G. had to offer was a little hike of this hill and a great view of the town.
