I pastor in Memphis. I like to think that there are quite a few great churches in Memphis.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
No personal attacks here. Pointed out inconsisties in principles with a brilliant analogy.

I beg to differ. In which case I have a solution.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
I thought this might be relevant to this discussion, From Ed Stetzer's Blog:
It is quite normal for pastors to live in a culture of isolation and separation. One pastor cogently captured it for me this way as he said, "Everyone else in the body of Christ can confess sin, but if I do I'm done." The reality is that every pastor is a person in the middle of his own sanctification. A pastoral culture of silence and separation simply can't work. Is it workable for a pastor to live in isolation from the essential sanctifying ministry of the body of Christ?

Pastor Keith, do you think that the way the organized church system is set up with one pastor over a congregation of say...800 members or even 300 members contributes to the isolation of the pastors?
That is a lot of stress put upon one man and his family.
