Wednesday morning at the Banner began again with prayer and then there were two sessions before lunch on our theme of a lifetime in ministry. First we had Lessons in Life and Ministry: A Personal Reflection the second message from retired minister David Johnston. This was a lovely reflection on his long ministry in various Presbyterian churches touching on conversion, call, convictions, challenges, etc. Then after coffee we had a helpful first exploration of the subject When a Call Comes to a New Ministry from David Campbell, who I believe is in his third charge. This did not answer every question by any means but it did argue (from Acts 16) that in the sovereignty and guidance of God it can be right to accept a move from one post to another. David made use of the writings of Hezekiah Harvey, someone I had never heard of. He had plenty of anecdotes from church history too (Chalmers, Thornwell, etc).
