Excerpt from The Congregational Way: A Hand-Book of Congregational Principles and Practices
The ministry has changed from the time when one was only considered to be a minister while he ministered to some local church, and when installation was in some sort a reordination. It has come to be a profession, in which the man once ordained has a standing of his own in the churches and in the ministerial association.
