Concerning “the call” to pastoral ministry

An excellent post at “Irish Calvinist” asks the question, “Have I been called to pastoral ministry?” I heartily agree here with Erik Raymond. I must say, this is a subject very close to my heart. In fact, this subject—pastoral ministry—stands way apart for me as the only painful thing about by leaving the Black Church to unite with a predominantly white, evangelical church (If I can gather my feelings together into words, I’ll have more to say about this in a future post).
