Letters to Editor Ordination proce dure ~r o the e<litor : I came across two thing in the December i sue of the 01 B which prompt thi note. Fir t you invited reader to hare an idea or comment and then an ordination report fur– ni he<l the idea. For the ordination ervice to be conducted the arne day a the coun– cil meeting could produce an em– barrassing situation. To arrange for both would be to assume the certainty of an affirmative recommendation from the council; and for the coun– cil to rende1· a negative report would ernbarra the local church and it program. Now I know that thi would be an infrequent occurrence But did you ever hear of a candidate being turn– ed down or an ordination being de– f erred? Youngstown R AYMOND FOLK Medina Ohio R ev.
