The Pastoral Call Process

My friend and colleague who writes at Naked Religion has begun a series of posts (beginning 8/5/5) on the process of pastoral call. It is well worth reading, especially for those whose churches may be approaching a pastoral vacancy. I hope to respond shortly on this subject - one for which I feel a LOT of concern - for reasons already known by those who know my history. The trick for me is to fairly, responsibly, honestly, and objectively review the facts in my own story as they touch on this challenge facing the church of Jesus Christ and its pastoral servants. More later.
