I've seen this in both the UPC and independent churches.

IMO, a Pastor should not preach more than a certain number of weeks a year; he should set aside services not only for evangelists or missionaries, but also a good number of weeks out of the year for ministers within the church to preach and grow in the ministry.

I would love to get Votivesoul down here with us but he seems to be at the center of a rising New Testament Church where he is.

Whatever happened to the restoration of a minister?

To pay or not to pay. That is the question.

Being totally honest with myself, I do not see how having them has helped me or enhanced my ministry in the slightest.

Looks like you answered the question already.
