An inspiring story from Dr Jerald F. Dirks(Abu Yahya)-A former Minister(deacon) of the United Methodist Church.

“There is some irony in the fact that the supposedly best, brightest and most idealistic of ministers to-be are selected for the very best of seminary education, e.g. that offered at that time at Harvard Divinity School. The irony is that, given such an education, the seminarian is exposed to…much…historical truth…As such, it is no real wonder that almost a majority of such seminary graduates leave seminary, not to “fill pulpits”, where they would be asked to preach that which they know is not true, but to enter the various counseling professions. Such was also the case for me, as I went on to earn a master’s and doctorate in clinical psychology”
