Thanks for the link.
Do you think that districts should provide pastors for pastors? I mean provide ordained ministers that have the sole function of the Gospel, as opposed to DP’s,VP’s and Circuit Counselors who are the function of the law?

I certainly think they should.

I’ve been on CRM for almost 3 years. Unfortunately, the circuit counselor at the time and the district president at the time were not supportive of me taking a leace of absence to get treatment for depression. At this time I have undergone counseling and am also on medication. Unfortunately, I have not received a call to full time ministry (LCMS). Needless to say it is frustrating to hear from the district president and the circuit counselor that “It’s God’s timing.” I wonder if there will ever be an opportunity for me to return to the ministry.
