community education
Ryan Bolger co-author of Emerging Churches, has some thoughts about educating a community of faith rather than one pastor on his blog. It's a real interesting idea. have you been in a church that the senior pastor wasn't that good of a teacher. Hitting home: What are we not good at? would it be ok for someone else to the things "that pastors should do"? What if your really good at taking care of people? Not so good at teaching and someone else comes forward to teach and they really connect. Do you hand over the preaching and you shepherd the sheep and leaders? hmm. things that challenge my pay check and influence. I'm not sure what to think. Do you?
