“Ordained” not “became”
I have reinstated the word "ordained" and wikilinked it. This is the normal term used within Christian churches for ministers of religion when they are given the rank of minister/pastor/priest. When they are ordained, they are usually accredited with the title "Rev". Ordination lasts for life.

In the Calvinist churches such as the Dutch Reformed Church or the Presbyterian churches, ministers are "called" by the local congregation to serve that congregation (See this website). In the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England, ministers/priests are "sent" to the parish by the bishop. For this reason I have reinstated the word "called".

 * Regardless of what User:Up and in might have changed in the article Dominie, the word "Dominie" is in common usage in South Africa for ministers of the Dutch Reformed Church. I have also reinstated the word "ordained" in place of inducted. The word "inducted" is the ritual when a priest or minister takes up a new post, so it is incorrect to use it in this context.
