Re: How close should a pastor get to the members?

I hear you. I wouldn't want anyone to "cow" to me either, nor salute me, nor bow down before me, nor hail me as king! That's not to say I don't have highly reverential feelings towards my pastor, and though we are equal at the foot of the cross, and though we all have gifts and callings, I don't personally see him "on the same level". Obviously, we're both human and we both have flaws, but God's mantle and appointment on him, and my submission to him, is reason enough for me to hold him highly. He likely feels like the foot washer, but the fact is, just as the disciples felt of Jesus, I would feel uncomfortable with him in that position.

Point taken though, and illustration valid.
