I think I would disagree with you. A person becomes a backslider in the pew....when they leave they've rejected Christ

I've visited a church 2 weeks in a row. The first week, the pastor wasn't there. Ok, he's out of town. No big deal. But tonight, he was there before service and I met him. But then not there for service, and the guy who preached mentioned that the pastor has been taking a break all summer.

I would give three reasons and allow one month for each reason:
1. Get away from the people
2. Get away from the people
3. Get away from the people

Paul took 3 whole years off at one point. Some kind of "retreat."

Re: Reasons a pastor would take a 3 month break
You know, the whole, "this pastoring thing is so stressful", I do find to be humorous, and when Prax mentioned Peter and Paul, I think he got it right on the money. Paul didn't just abandon an assembly that he started to take three months or three years off for vacation. Outside of the "second tithe", I can't really think of "vacations" in the Scripture, and for the last 200-300 years, since the Industrial Revolution, "vacations" are maybe 60 or 70 years old. I can not imagine my great-great grandparents working in the shoe mills here in Massachusetts having ever gone on a "vacation", maybe they got a Saturday off and piled their kids onto the back of a truck and went to the beach. We don't need vacations, they are nice to take once and a while, but some of the pastors I've seen are drama queens/divas. Yes, construction might be a good job for some of these "three month off" pastors, or working in a mill or sweat shop. A pastor should not get stressed out, because a pastor should not be alone in the assembly, there should be "elders in every city"- that "elders" there is plural...
