doing ministry

On page 14 of the UK edition of The Briefing (Sept 08, Issue 360) we learn that "in our last issue, we looked at the difference between stratergy and tactics. In this article, David Shead tells the story of how he was forced to change tactics while doing ministry in Slovenia."

I think it would be strategic, as I may have mentioned before (!), if Mr Shead were forced to say that he "ministered" in Slovenia. We serve people and the Lord Jesus. We do not do ministry. I hope it is a grammatical (as well as potentially a theological) crime to say that one "does ministry"?

Thanks for putting up with my rant. I feel much better now.
