What surgeon and parent, when approached by a son or daughter with aspirations to become a surgeon, would hand them a scalpel and send them off to a hospital to practice medicine? There is a reason why Disciples treasure the Bible, spiritual disciplines
and a well-rounded theological education when forming its ministers for a lifetime of service. Thank you for contributing to and promoting the Thanksgiving Offering!
Special thanks to Rev. Dr. Gary Peluso Verdend, President of Phillips Theological Seminary for the comparison between preparing surgeopns and forming ministers
