Ordained December, 1979. Served in local churches, and as an Army Chaplain. That being said, I am not sure what you are asking for.

Well the thought is, with such a well of experienced Clergy it would be good to have some idea who is who, maybe for a solemn ping list?

That and after yrs or Pastoring (as imho, everyone who serves has pastored) it would be fun, and invocative to gain wisdom from the experienced, not the learned?

That to me is one of the wonderful things about Christianity, the knock on the door at 1 am, or healing the breach in a relationship, such things are rarely every mentioned.

And to be sure, there are other duties, such as Hospital Chaplain at 2 am, what helped in those situations to make Christians better servants of Christ?

Well in the large picture:

Even a Bible College Graduate has completed 4 yrs of courses, the RCC priests have finished..6 yrs?

A large proportion of a lifetime spent studying the Scriptures is surely an asset?

And by asset, I am speaking to Relationships, not monetary ends. How can there be tens of thousands of educated people and it not be looked on as a well of wisdom?

Bot practical, and esoteric?
