I have always though those under the age of 30 are not to be taken serious in a role of Ministry. This is not a private opinion–rather the opinion of the Holy, Catholic Apostolic Church. The same church that provides us with intelligibility of the Scriptures.
They believed this not because of some “vain tradition”–but on the basis of the account of our Lord’s ministry found in the Gospels.
Canon 11
Let not a presbyter be ordained BEFORE HE IS THIRTY YEARS OF AGE, even though he be in all respects a worthy man, but let him be made to wait. FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS BAPTIZED AND BEGAN TO TEACH IN HIS THIRTIETH YEAR.
