Don't these two look happy and proud?
Well, they should. The younger of the two (I am guessing you will have no trouble identifying which of the two is younger) is captured here leaving his Ordination Exam. That's Jeffrey Dirrim, and he was unanimously and enthusiastically recommended to the Conference for his Ecclesiastical Council - a final examination of sorts before his Ordination.
He is a member of First Congregational United Church of Christ in Phoenix, which explains why he is standing next to his proud pastor, Rev. Dr. Steve Wayles (who, in a little more than a week, will be my and Mimi's pastor also).
This is an important step in the life of any candidate for authorized ministry, and we are proud of him for having presented himself as well as he did. We wish him the best both in his Ecclesiastical Council, and in his future ministry.
