One calling

We discussed whether a pastor's calling is different from the rest of us. Page 271 of the textbook explains the post-reformation view of work and calling: we are all called in the same way and it is no holier to be a pastor than to work in a "secular" profession. This view leads to the so-called "Protestant work ethic" and this is arguably linked to the development of the modern world. While debatable, the fact that it is even debated only emphasizes the importance of the impact of the concept of predestination on our present society.

Our group discussion was to share on our own personal calling, especially the process by which we have determined or are determining our calling.
