After three years in seminary and a year of finishing ordination requirements, complete with the Search and Call process: I was ordained into the Philadelphia Association of the United Church of Christ (UCC). This joyous occasion happened on June 19th (Father's Day) 2011. Click here to see photos of my ordination service. Scroll down half the page to view the photo gallery.
Within the UCC, in order to be ordained, one must have a "call" to a church. My calling church is the Dover Church in Dover, MA. I did my canidating sermon on May 1st and was voted into the Associate Minister position that day.
My first day as the Assoc. Minister at the Dover Church was June 1st!
