I have very little respect for those types and I feel like it makes the unity needed to reach an entire city impossible. If someone in our area wants me or anyone else to do anything and they are unwilling or too unethical to contact my pastor first...it is a definite no-go. I am of the firm opinion that if you know someone to be a member of another church, you contact the pastor first.

Good post, some may see it as old school, but I often wonder if ministerial ethics are a thing of the past. But ethics should not be so easily disregarded these days, and I think speaks volumes about a person integrity.
