"Ordination is the acknowledgment and commission by a community of believers that a person has been called to ministry". The title "pastor" is the role in which a minister serves. A pastor is an ordained minister, as is a bishop, an evangelist, etc. Ordained minister is the recognition of their calling -pastor, etc. is the description of their role.
