The last entry in the journey of a clergy-to-be is when one becomes a full pledged elder. That happened to me last July 2011. Months before the scheduled annual conference, I submitted my letter of application to the Board of Ordained Ministry. I have already finished my theological papers years ago and so I was just patiently waiting for the Board to affirm my calling. This year is the year when I satisfy all the requirements set forth by the Book of Discipline. If the Board finds me fit and able to perform the duties and responsibilities of an elder then they would affirm my calling to be a set-apart as a servant-leader in the United Methodist Church.
