Abstract:
Comments on the process of "dissolving the pastoral relation" and refusing ordination. Dislikes ministry employment that has a pre-set termination date, as it renders "the relation between a minister and his people a mere secular affair--so much pay for so much service." Worries that such arrangements "prevent permanency in the pastoral relation." Apologizes for the haste in which he wrote and the likelihood he misaddressed Rogers, as "you are a stranger to me I know not whether you are an ordained minister, a candidate or a layman."
