When I was a teenager I attended an ecumenical gathering called an Ashram. Following a period of prayer, one of the leaders of the Ashram, whose name was Ken, came up to me and asked, "Are you planning on going into the ministry?"
I was shocked by Ken's question. I couldn't understand how he could walk up to a complete stranger and ask a question like that. When I found my voice, I said, "That's not something I've ever considered."
