The Ohio Independent Baptist, January 1961

Januan, 1961 H. TED CARY ORDAINED At 3 P.M. Dec. 5th an ordination council convened at the r equest of the Faith Baptist Church, Van W ert, Ohio, for the purpose of having their pastor, H. Ted Cary, examined with the view of having him ordai11ed to the gospel ministry. Rev. F. Donald Worden of Calvary Baptist of Findlay was elected moderator, and Rev. Ralph Kemmere r of First Baptist of Findlay was elected clerk. The church clerk read the letter of invitation to the churches, after which Rev. Ralph Nordlund, editor of the Ohio Independent Baptist, of– fered prayer. The clerk of the coun– cil then took the roll. Twenty-fow· delegates and pastors from churches in northwest Ohio, Indiana, and Il– linois were recorded as present. The council heard the candidate's account of his conversion from a nominal church membership to real salvation, and also his call to the min– istry. Being well established in a good job and with a family to sup– port, his surrender to the call was not easy. His conversion and call were so evident that little time was taken in questioning him. Pastor Cary then proceeded to read his doctrinal statement. He covered the major doc trines of the Bible and was interrogated thoroughly on sev– eral points. At the conclusion of their questioning the council moved to go into deliberate session and excused the candidates and others not on the council. A fine testimony as to God's blessing upon Mr. Car).:'s mi11istry was then given by one of the members of the church. Rev. Henry Murdock of Harvey, Ill. , gave a few words of commendation as to his background and his faithfulness as a member and Christian lay work– er. A motion was made by Rev. Earl Umbaugh of Fort Wayne, Ind. , that the council recommend that the cht1rch proceed wi th the ordination. It was seconded and p assed unani– mously. The church took all council mem– l)ers who could stay to a restaurant for a sumptious supper, and th or– di11ation servic was co11dt1c ted that v ~11ing at tl1 cht1rch . Rev. Wm.
