Every time a pastor abandons one congregation for another out of boredom or anger or restlessness, the pastoral vocation of all of us is vitiated.
I have to say I feel that, I really do.
A place for three friends, separated by many miles, to read, discuss, and (in spirit) settle into deep leather chairs, in a secluded library and drink nice coffee.
How does that work?
ReplyDeleteBecause it shows we do not value the people whom we pastor, in and of themselves, and as gifts from God? And therefore that our role is for our benefit, not theirs?
That sounds about right, to me.
