Abstract
It used to be assumed that persons went to seminary because God had called them and had called them with the Holy Spirit to do God’s work. Dr. Michael Dash’s article shows that this is not so and he attests this by pointing out that many theological scholars have written about the need for a person to have a sense of commitment in some form of spirituality in order to be of service to God’s people. Being spiritual is not a one-time accomplishment; it is a continuous growth and development toward an engagement with God.
