When should church and pastor part company?
The ending of a pastorate is often a difficult time for all concerned. Indeed, even in the most satisfactory circumstances, when a pastor is confident that he has been called elsewhere by God, and his family and both congregations recognise God’s wise hand in the move, the change is still a difficult one to manage.
Graham Heaps
For the pastor, eager for the new challenge and opportunities that the Lord’s providence is bringing him, there is still the pain of leaving his friends behind.
