He has instructed us to look for a pastor who will basically help us close up shop because we only have 5-7 years left. Talk about drama! We are a Presbyterian congregation of 110 members (median age 62 - which is the median age for Presbyterian churches nationwide). We had a pastor of 18 yrs retire 5 years ago, had in interim, called a 30-something divorced mother of 3 (our 1st woman pastor) who got engaged and left the congregation to marry after only a year and a half. Now a good portion does not want a woman pastor. MORE DRAMA. So, thank you for sharing your frustrations and thank you for letting me vent mine. Good luck to you - you and your committee are in my prayers.ChoirMistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027110302844713157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49666280130980510.post-5262689385511220802012-04-04T22:13:43.841-04:002012-04-04T22:13:43.841-04:00just wanting to thank you for being you, friend. x...just wanting to thank you for being you, friend. xoMommy Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989213786947802537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49666280130980510.post-51618350663137292492012-03-11T22:47:38.979-04:002012-03-11T22:47:38.979-04:00this is one of the reasons i find church hard... a...this is one of the reasons i find church hard... all of the details, the rules, the drama... but i guess it's hard to avoid too. love your honesty here, friend.Mommy Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989213786947802537noreply@blogger.com
