Whose Ministry?

On Tuesday, February 16 an annual CAREER DAY was scheduled at Calvin College. This project was jointly sponsored by the Counseling Center and Placement Office of the College, who arranged to bring on campus some 55 representatives of business, industry, community agencies and the professions. Among the wide variety of career areas to be represented the list includes GOSPEL MINISTRY represented by Rev. Gordon Negen and then farther down the list, simply THE MINISTRY whose scheduled representative is Rev. Marchiene Rienstra. Mrs. Rienstra had spear-headed the feminist drive to break through the Biblical, confessional and church order barriers into the ordained ministry of our churches. Failing in that effort, she became pastor of a United Presbyterian Church. That is the denomination which has gained notoriety by admitting a minister who refused to acknowledge the deity of Christ, while at the same time outlaws ministers and churches who have conscientious scruples against admitting women to ordination and has been seizing the property of such churches. The Calvin Board of Trustees, learning of Mrs. Rienstra’s scheduled appearance on Career Day, expressed its disapproval. But she still appeared. Whom is Calvin College trying to recruit for the ministry—and for whose ministry?
