“The disease has so far progressed that we now tend to assume that graduate school honors are the qualifications we should look for in a ministerial candidate. Paul’s requirements for a godly ministry are set aside, and we think that it is all right to do this because the man whose marriage and family are stretcher case (and got that way while he was working his guts out in seminary) nevertheless has professional certification. He has the right papers on the wall, embossed and signed. This is nothing less than the capitulation of the evangelical church to the bureaucratic mind. Nothing good can come of it, and the sooner we find the way of repentance the better” (The Paideia of God, p. 107).
