Canon Michael Writes
In the late 1980’s I attended a Selection Conference to enable the church to discern my perceived calling to the priesthood. One of the selection activities involved drawing a piece of paper from a hat, on which was written a question and then lead a 10-minute discussion on that question with others exploring their vocation.
