I really appreciate your comments, and I think I’ll look for that quote.

It was great seeing your ordination. And I enjoyed the brief time when I was on your interview committee a few years ago. When I was ordained, someone gave me a quotation from John Wesley regarding his ordination, but I don’t have that readily available and I’m too lazy to go look it up! Basically, Wesley was talking about what a profound experience it was. Sometimes I think we try to downplay being ordained–we don’t want to be so “set apart.” But there is a reality there that we shouldn’t deny. God has called and gifted and the church has recognized and affirmed your calling and gifts for this particular ministry.
