This seems to be stating the obvious, but it is important anyway. Ministers often have an enormous amount of training and experience, in diverse areas. I think there are two dangers in this: on the one hand, a minister may think therefore that he or she is qualified to run a Church; on the other hand, a Church may underestimate the minister's qualifications for the job. OBSERVATION: But at the end of the day, a minister's calling is most important, and this may have little to do with training and experience. I myself have twelve years of ministerial training. Thirteen, if one adds what Congregationalists call "probation".
