Who Wants to Answer Some Questions For me For My Class Tonight?!

Yep, I agree completely! Actually the Church I was at in IL before coming to Colorado for college was about 50 persons, but persons of great faith and not moneyhungry. The pastor acutally graduated from the same college I'm attending now.
Statistics show that most pastors will be both working a job and pastoring within the next few years....well at least in the Church of the Nazarene anyways.
Our college president was trying to work a deal with the local community college to start a program that helped future pastors get a business/ management degree to help start their own business while being a pastor. This way, the pastor lives off his own income rather than the Church paying him.
Kind of like Paul and tent making.

In my opinion if a pastor fails to be out in the real world with other than the membership because he won't see the trials and tribulations that are going on outside his membership. Being in the real world seeing real life situations (not just sitting behind a desk and preaching sermons) is continuing education to be qualified to stand in front of the congreation and preach. Most preachers that just sit behind the desk and preach become very dry and boring pretty quickly and they have no clue why the congreation is leaving.
