How much information should the saints expect from their pastor?

I agree that no pastor would want to bring up any news of infighting or highly controversial issues. The local church is supposed to be a place of healing.

But to imply that the GS is practically unknown is to reveal a level of ignorance on the part of the average saint that shows they've been shielded from more than just the fussing that goes on.

I dont really agree with that. my current pastor isnt going to leave the UPCI. I dont know where he stands no the TV issue. My former pastor and now Bishop of my church was just elected Executive Prebytor. Most of the people in my church wouldnt know Brother Haney from the post man. I think that is pretty common. I dont think it is just something that Cons are doing. I think it is just the way it is for Con, Mod and Lib churches.
