I don't think I've thought about, when something should happen to the Pastor, what we would do!! I do believe that most would probably go and visit and bring prepared meals to the spouse, at least I'd like to believe that would happen!!

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted April 16, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2017 For the information of all: I have removed a post from this thread for the following reasons: 1) Doctrinal discussions are not allowed in this thread and I specifically reminded people of that when I made the OP. 2) The subject matter of the post has been restricted. 3) The post contained a URL to a post by a person who has been restricted as to the content matter that he can post here and that URL took you to such content matter, by that person. Due to the reasons above I removed the post and it cannot be brought back to life. IOW, I did not hide it from view. It is gone. I simply ask that people who post here respect the rules and actions that the Administrators (I am not an Administrator.) put in place.

Administrators debbym Posted April 16, 2017 Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2017 it is similar to when any primary caregiver who has no back up goes down. Usually those who have no preparation to take an responsibility just flounder. i think of a husband who dies leaving an utterly dependent wife who cannot write a check, drive a car, or pay a bill... hey i know it sounds awful but it has happened. it can be a single mom or single grandmother who has been taking care of everyone, and when she becomes ill the takers are not prepared to give. I think pastor should not be the core of spiritual care-giving in a congregation. He should be coaching the members and training everyone in ministry. phkrause 1 Quote deb Love awakens love.
