TO: Graduates of 1983
FROM: Dr. Ian Rennie, Dean
It is my desire for you, as for each student leaving Ontario 
Theological Seminary, that you may exercise a ,whole' ministry. 
In this connection one may think first of all of those going into 
congregational ministries, but the concept is applicable to every 
type of ministry. By a 'whole' ministry I mean one that is not 
lopsided, but which rather contains in good measure all the 
necessities of vital ministry.
I wish for you a ministry characterized by biblical preaching 
and teaching. You will spend major blocks of time each week 
studying the Bible, using all the tools that you have learned in 
Seminary. You will meditate on the Scriptures and know the Holy 
Spirit making the truth alive to you. Then you will communicate 
the Word from God, persuaded that this Word is the most living and 
powerful reality in all the world.
Also a ministry which has major focus on worship and prayer. You 
will lead the company of Christians into the presence of God, 
there to express their gratitude, devotion, love and joy in song 
and prayer.
You will have a ministry which nurtures fellowship, reflecting 
vulnerability and servanthood, and which prepares Christians to 
relate in honesty and depth through sensitive counselling.
The ministry that you will have will be Charismatic. By this
I mean that the Holy Spirit will be so evidently present that the 
authority of God will be known and miracles of deliverance will 
be regularly anticipated.
Your 'whole' ministry will express itself as a model of outreach, 
so that evangelism and missions are the lifestyle of the Christian 
community.
And finally, there will be a social involvement which seeks the 
healing of society as well as the renewal of the Church.
May God give us all 'whole' ministries so that we may see the 
development of ,whole' congregations and ,whole' Christians.
