Why Instant Online Ordination Is Insulting

Why Instant Online Ordination Is Insulting

I was having a conversation with a coworker the addiction clinic I work at concerning ordination. He had not known that I was a local pastor, so we got to talking. He said “funny thing is I’m a pastor too.” Intrigued, I proceeded to ask him where he was pastoring at. He responded that it was an online ordination. Then a sweeping realization came over me. That was a bit insulting.
