Today the results came back from the Ord Exams I wrote in August. (Sigh.)
There are four Ordination Exams. (Five, if you count the Bible Content Exam.) I passed Worship & Sacraments, flunked Biblical Language Exegesis. So I’m 50% happy. Or even 75% happy, since I had previously passed Polity and theology. (Indeed, 80%, counting the Bible Content Exam.)
In a week or two I will get the actual exams back so I can see what the readers didn’t like about them.
In the meantime, here are some preliminary lessons learned.
1. don’t forget the Calvin quote this time
2. translate Hebrew rather than Greek
3. use a lesson plan rather than a sermon outline
4. endorse the conventional wisdom
5. preach it
(While I’m linking to things, here’s the mongo PDF with all the old exams.)
P.S. You’re cheating. You posted this comment but it was to an earlier incarnation of your blog. You just didn’t want to change the date.
Hmm. Why am I logged in as Administrator?
Especially when it says that I’m not logged in.
Some kind of weird saved state in Safari. It appears to be gone now.
And, yes, I did cheat by pre-dating this, my second actual post — but the date is accurate.
