The harsh reality is that more times than not the succession plan is based on ego, greed, and control rather than what is best for the church.

I think most of the time its groomed for it, go to keep it in the family.

I'd be curious to hear your justification for this statement.
What's the difference?

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Discussion can be more focused on destruction than construction.
There are many speculating on a church and minister they do not know.
The family that was on staff at TPC was among many that were on staff. TPC has been blessed with many ministers through the years on staff. Currently he did have 2 son-n-laws on staff and one daughter that was on staff.
There were 2 other secretaries, children's pastor, music director and etc that were not family.

I think one glaring difference is the church shouldn't be a business.

Agreed, and many times that "son" was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has never been through nothin', thus he cannot even relate to the hurting ones in the pew.
