Is Your Pastor an Outsider?

Tom Garasha, Director of Pastoral Care and Coaching for the EFCA West district asks some interesting questions on his blog as the result of reading, "When the Church was a Family," by Joe Hellerman. What do you think?
  • If the church is truly an community then why are pastors often the outsider?

  • If the church is a supposed to be the family of brothers and sisters, then how come pastors are the last ones to experience community in their own church?

  • How can a pastor preach and encourage people to authentic community and not have a close trusted relationship with anyone in the church.
