Honestly, I have always thought of pastors as gatherers. It amazes me that I need to get fifteen letters, three phone calls and an audience with the mayor just to talk to another saint of God thirty miles away - SIMPLY BECAUSE I AM A PASTOR!!!
What is it with this culture of fear we have created?
Folks, in my short seven years as a pastor I have learned that you can't keep people who want to leave, and you can't force people to come who don't want to. You also can't keep people out of your church that want to come.
It IS a public place.
Normally the guys that scream "sheep stealer!" the loudest are the worst offenders.
BTW, I do believe in ethics, I just think we go overboard sometimes.
It's as if we think we own people or something, and it's silliness.
