Calling (LDS Church)
A vocation () is an occupation to which a person is especially drawn or for which they are suited, trained or qualified.

History The idea of a vocation or "calling" has played a significant role within Christianity. Since the early days of the Christian faith, the term has applied to candidates for the clergy. It soon began to be applied to those who felt drawn to a more rigorous observance of their faith through the contemplative lifestyle of the hermits and monks and nuns.
