Description
The Testing of Vocation: A Comprehensive Study of Ministry Selection in the Church of England. This 100th anniversary edition marks a significant milestone in the history of the Church of England's process for selecting candidates for ordained ministry. Robert Reiss's detailed study provides an essential reference volume for historians and students of vocation and ministry, exploring the development of the Church's concept of vocation over the past century. The book examines key changes in response to societal and ecclesiastical shifts, including the impact of two world wars, declining numbers, and new developments such as women's ordination and non-stipendiary ministry. Authenticated by the Ministry Division of the Church of England, this unique record offers a valuable insight into the evolution of ordained ministry in the Church of England. 448 pages, paperback binding.
