Two Sunday’s
ago, a candidate for an assistant pastor position interviewed at our church.
The candidate presented a well-prepared message and I requested his email
address. Our current pastor said, “I feel the church board has an
obligation of protecting all of [the candidate name’s] information at this
point. I hope you will be patient while I see what the rest of the board
thinks about giving out the e-mail address.” Seriously? The church leadership wants
to protect a pastoral candidate from a fellow believer’s email? It is sad and troubling
when pastors and elders succumb to the manipulation and leadership tactics of
the world. Paul said, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Ro 12:2
NIV).
