Dear Pastor,

It's been real.

Love,

Originalist

I would recommend that you try to call him and schedule a face-to-face first. You know he is busy but your assumption that he won't have time is leading you to go to a more impersonal approach which increases the possibility he will perceive it as disrespectful. Besides, communicating clearly with your pastor seems to be very important to you and you probably don't want to second-guess if you could have done things differently/better in the future.

I would talk with him...no matter how busy he is he is your pastor and he has an obligation to meet with you unless he says he does not have time...if that be the case then in my way of thinking send him a nice card saying you were sorry he could not meet with you and inform him and thank him for being your pastor...try to leave on the best terms possible...

What kind of ........ is this? You don't know if he should stay or move on.

He needs to prayerfully make a decision that is best for him and his family.

I hope I am wrong but I see the pastor glancing at the letter before he tosses it into the garbage bin. Then preaching about rebellious people who like to church hop.

Breaking up is hard to do.

Nobody likes getting a 'Dear John' letter.

If he cant find time for the saints he is no Pastor at all. A Pastor is not a sermon machine. He is supposed to be a SHEPHERD. If he has no time to fellowship the saints who want fellowship he is a hireling.

This is wisdom in love... as we've come to expect from Sis. Alvear.
