His ministry was in the media with a focus on children and families so it was in no way former. To my understanding that "charge" was given as part of ordination after he was into his professional career and throughout it he remained an ordained minister within the presbyterian church.

- dpeck 9y agoThat’s the thing, he never was a parish minister
- hprotagonist 9y agoah, true enough. "he was a minister who never lead a parish", then.
