Q: After all your education requirements have been completed, you will need to write an ordination paper describing your experience and calling. This paper will be submitted to your denominational committee. The length of your paper may vary, but you will need to cover, in full, your academic, social, and spiritual journey throughout the process you have undergone thus far. You will also need to demonstrate your personal conviction and dedication to the calling. The denominational committee will want to interview you one last time before deciding whether or not you are ready to be ordained. If you have completed all the steps, you will usually pass the interview, but you should still treat it very seriously. Your ordination paper will be discussed at your interview. The committee may also ask you to clarify or describe things not explicitly disclosed in your paper. As with your first interview, you should answer honestly and completely. Do not withhold any information. Once your denominational committee determines that you are fit to be a reverend, an ordination service will be set up for the sake of formally ordaining you into ministry. Many ordination services are held individually, while others may be held for groups of people seeking ordination as a reverend at once. Find out what to expect from your denomination beforehand. Some denominations will allow you to jump straight into the life of a reverend or pastor, but others will require you to serve under another pastor for a probationary period to determine if you have the ability to operate on your own. During this probationary period, you will have slightly more responsibility than you had during any internship you may have gone through, but you will still report to a church pastor or reverend whose position is higher than yours. While you may not need a state license to simply preach at church, if you plan to become a reverend who can also perform marriage ceremonies, you might need to be formally licensed by the state before doing so. If you have gone through the process and have received your denomination's approval, getting a state license will usually consist of very little. You may simply need to file or fill out paperwork. Contact your county or state clerk to find out what the requirements are. As with any other field, one of the trickiest parts of becoming a reverend can be actually finding work as one. Many denominations will assign reverends to certain churches, though, or at least help direct those reverends to churches in need of additional leadership.
A: Write an ordination paper. Schedule a final ordination interview. Attend an ordination service. Enter into a probationary period. Find out if you need a state license. Get a job.

Article: Before you rush off to confront the man who hurt you, ponder the situation and your feelings about it. Has something like this happened before? Could you be over-reacting? Spend some time reflecting on the situation and your feelings. This may work better through a journaling or free-writing exercise. Set a timer for 10 minutes and write down everything that comes to mind about the situation. Although it's smart to delay until you get your emotions under control, don't wait too long, so that the other person doesn't forget the offending situation. Regular journaling can help detect problematic patterns in your relationship. Take some time to think about the man's point of view and why he may have done what he did. Sometimes people may hurt you on purpose and other times it's purely an accident. People may also be affected by other stressful things going on in their lives, so take a moment to think about anything relevant the man is dealing with. Considering his point of view doesn't excuse his behavior. It may simply help you understand the situation more fully. If you are hurting right now, take the time to address the hurt first. If you do this, you will come off as calm and clear-headed during the interaction. So, practice self-care. This may involve taking a relaxing bath, eating nourishing foods, writing in your journal, spending time with friends, or just vegging out on your sofa for an evening. Once you've gotten some distance from the hurtful experience, seek the input of a few trusted friends or loved ones. Tell this individuals about what happened. Then, get their feedback. How do they view the situation? Would they react similarly? They may be able to help you confirm that you were mistreated or see the situation in a new light. Get the opinion of people who aren't strongly biased for or against the person who hurt you. Think about how this person will react when you tell him he hurt you. You might use previous situations to determine what's most likely to happen. For example, does he generally play the victim card or deny having hurt you? Does he apologize, but do so insincerely? Use what you know to set reasonable expectations about the impending confrontation. It can also be helpful to think about what you're hoping to gain from the confrontation. The way you approach the conversation might change if you are looking for an apology vs. a change in behavior. Set reasonable expectations about your desired outcome. Consider what you are hoping to gain from the interaction, and then compare that to how you expect the person to react. Will your needs be met by confronting him? Is it worth the effort to share your feelings, but have them be undermined? Whether it's worth the effort probably lies in how important the relationship is to you. If the person who hurt you is a spouse, friend, or relative, it may be impossible to sweep the situation under the rug. If the person is a casual acquaintance, you might simply distance yourself from him in the future rather than confronting him.
