Theological preparedness as ecclesiastical requirement. Our theological training Reconsidered
The theological and spiritual aspects of training for the ministry belong inseparably together. Likewise theological training and endowment by the Spirit should not be seen as alternatives, but as complementing each other. In order to identify the theological requirements for the ministry eight typical functions of a minister of the Word are discussed. The effective implementation of these functions is, however, greatly impeded by fundamental changes in modern society. This increases the responsibility of theological faculties. In conclusion tentative guidelines for a revised theological curriculum are presented.
