Arthur,You've asked a very good question. But, when we replace the word "ministry" with the word "service", we see just how strange it looks:"If your service is primarily defined (by yourself or by others) by the offices or titles you hold, what does that say about your service?"-Alan
Alan,Quite right. I am afraid though that "service" is not the first word that comes to mind when we think of ministry. Perhaps "leadership" or "authority" but not "service".
Arthur,Isn't that both sad and ironic, since "ministry" = "service" not "leadership" or "authority"?-Alan
