Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
No matter the time frame the new guy won't be around long term. The board will see to that.

Some of you would probably have a pastor in 24 hours!
I wonder what kind of pastor you would have?
Not a very good one in all probability I can tell you that.

In all seriousness, our church JUST got a new pastor. We had been without a pastor for 2 years and 1 month. There were some real issues with the former pastor (his wife, specifically). We never thought it would take 2 years to find a new one. But I really believe now that we needed that time for God to do some healing in us before the new man came. We are certainly not the same congregation that we were two years ago. Same people - but we've all changed. Alot. It's been a good thing.
There is nothing wrong with waiting to see what God's timing is.

If 2 years without a pastor made you better people just think what 5 or 10 years could have done!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Your denomination doesn't have a thousand more ministers than churches.

nope, you're right, we do not. Becoming a minister in our denomination is not an easy thing. It is a very serious thing

Glad you got a new pastor and it worked out for you. We are still looking at my church, but it is not like we are desperate to find one right at this moment, I suspect we will simply keep looking until we find one like you did.
How long it takes is...basically...."how long it takes"!(However long that is, is anyone's guess)
