Is the Pastor's Wife entitled to Call herself Pastor by Association?

[revrandy]

Is it by Entitlement or Hard Work?

Let me ask this...

I could see someone earning this title by working hard at home and at church.. but are they just entitled to it by being married to the Pastor?

Does your Pastor's Wife call herself Pastor?

That really bugs me and I don't think it's an entitlement just because you are married to a pastor.

Does she play an active role at the church?

It seems many have gone that route and they collect a paycheck from the Church too along with the Pastor's Salary...

again I don't have a problem with it if they are reliable and do the work of a Pastor... but just to claim the title and really do nothing seems to be the route some go...

Yes, many churches I go to the wife preaches also. I would say 75%.

I think that is more prominent in black churches.

Been there done that and have the T-Shirt.It works because in truth if the church is moving along in the right direction you can counsel the women and he the men
and both together on the hard cases.It gives alot of accountability.A one man show is always limited.I know of several churchs where the whole group of elders are in on counseling.I have been invited in on this before and at first found it strange but if the truth be told there is safety in a multitude of counselors and
several words of wisdom were shared.I looked up on our platform at church last night at at least six or seven elders were seated on the platform.Each of them had a role in the service from singing to announcements or thus saith the Lord.
God is good.
