Preparation for Ordination

B. W. Randolph

Sinossi

It has always seemed to me that what lies at the basis of all preparation for the ministry is the sense of a Call from God. I do not, however, wish to narrow the sense of the word “vocation.” There are only two ways of looking at life for everybody. Either we are here in the world to carve out a career for ourselves, to push along as best we may, regardless of God and man; or else we have to respond to a Call from God, to listen for God’s voice—remembering how very complex are the ways in which God speaks to men—and then to obey, and to obey actively, energetically, and to the end.
 
Hence it often seems to me deplorable how late men are sometimes in deciding what they are to do in life. “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” is the prayer that should be put into a child’s heart very early in life. It should be taught to listen and then to respond. But I may assume here and now that most of those to whom I am speaking have finally settled that God is calling them to the ministry, and the question that we want to consider is how a man can best prepare himself.

The Opening of the Protestant...

Mark Valeri

During the mid-seventeenth century, Anglo-American Protestants described Native American ceremonies as savage devilry, Islamic teaching as violent chicanery, and Catholicism as repugnant superstition. By the mid-eighteenth century, they would describe amicable debates between evangelical missionaries and Algonquian religious leaders about the moral appeal of Christianity, recount learned conversations between English merchants and Muslim scholars, and tell of encounters with hospitable and sincere priests in Catholic Canada and Europe. What explains this poignant shift? 
 
 
 
Using a variety of sources, The Opening of the Protestant Mind traces a transformation in how English and colonial American Protestants described other religions during a crucial period of English colonization of North America. After the English Revolution of 1688 and the subsequent growth of the British empire, observers began to link Britain's success to civic moral virtues, including religious toleration, rather than to any particular religious creed. Mark Valeri shows how a wide range of Protestants—including liberal Anglicans, Calvinist dissenters, deists, and evangelicals—began to see other religions not as entirely good or entirely bad, but as complex, and to evaluate them according to their commitment to religious liberty.
