Pastoral Termination

http://www.bpnews.net/43286/pastoral-termination-common-but-often-avoidable-experts-say
Interesting article that states that as many as four in ten pastors will be forced to leave a church -- either by firing or pressured resignation -- at least once during their ministry careers, according to researchers.

As I read it, my heart ached. Nobody knows what a pastor goes through. It's not even possible for them to imagine how lonely it can be for not only him, but also his family. I hope that you are praying for your pastor, and thinking many times over before you say something against him or his family. Yes, they make mistakes, and some of those mistakes may need to be addressed, but those mistakes need to be handled according to Matthew 18:15.
