I chose to go to a seminary away from my home conference. Now I have to make choices between church and school when it comes to meeting with dCOM. I'd like to meet with them during Annual Conference, but that just seems impossible - not sure why just yet. We're all in the same place; we all have to eat... I see time. It's frustrating... just frustrating. I too have been caught by the ordination process. I chose to go to a seminary away from my home conference.

Ordination will be at least 15 years away for me. I live in Oregon and the only way to be ordained is to move to Ohio or California to finish seminary. I have a family and can't pull up stakes and move, so for the next ten years or so I can be a local pastor but that is as far as I can go. That is not right. Good luck with your CPE.
