Call Day is when students completing their studies formally receive their first ministry placement and assignment, which we also refer to as a “call.” This is because the two vicars (pastoral interns) Walker and Jonas that I work with at Bethel in Dallas formally received their calls to serve as pastors at Bethel with an expected ordination date of September 28th. By the time the storms ended, and the flight ban was lifted it was after 4, but there was still a flight at 5:15 that would allow me to maybe get there in time for the service, but alas that flight was, of course, delayed till 6:30, sealing my fate as to being there in person.
