That There May Be Ministers

About the Book

The complete story of Disciples ministerial education in California is long overdue. It is needed so that the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) may better understand the long struggle and sacrifice, of both clergy and laity, to provide a means of educating the leadership of the church. Understanding how those who have gone before us wrestled with similar problems may help us better chart the future.
