It seems his only "job experience" in the legal field was while he was in Law School itself where he worked for a local law firm, probably doing research and clerking. He then continued schooling before entering the ministry full time. Doesn't seem to have ever practiced law, and I don't really remember that about him either.
You can also tell something about a person by looking at their hobbies and how they spend their free time - bad news here; flowers and bugs.
You can make a lot out of that - or you can do what DKB did his law degree and make nothing out it at all.
Not sure what you mean by that. I just think it's funny that a scribe was elected GS of the UPC.

This scribe (DKB), despite earning such high honors never did anything in the legal profession but scribble. At least that's the way it seems from his bio.
I'm just sayin' - he went from Law School directly into full time ministry - with a stopover in Jackson for a bit more book learnin'.
There's a culture (or better yet "cultures") in the legal community that cause us civilians to occasionally mock lawyers like The Baron. DKB doesn't seem to have spent any time sullying himself with chasing ambulances and the such.
In trying to cast the guy into some sort of mold we may end up leaving "lawyer" completely out of the picture. The pictures of wildflowers and fungi on his home page probably tell you more about the guy than his law degree.
Just because DKB did not choose to practice law with his law degree does not mean anything bad.
I don't know his life's story so can't comment on when he felt the calling to ministry and how that timeline flows with his law school experience but for someone with an intellectual bent I think law school is a great background for many vocations, including the ministry.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I not only went to JCM with her but I drove her to the Emergency Room when she almost cut her thumb off working in the cafeteria!
Whatever happened to her? Did she marry a preacher?
That wasn't one of the gals you stole a kiss from ?
Didn't you kiss RG one time at JCM ?
