Guests:Steph BanerLynn FiechterFred WitzigShow notes: What are pros and cons; what expectations should congregations haveWhat expectations should ministers have? What is the congregation's role?Thoughts of retired ministerDifferent minister models: priest, wise sage, body (entire congregation responsible for the Word)Value in shared ministry model (involving entire congregation).Ministers are committed, but want to know how to do it.Ministers need to rely upon Holy Spirit; need for congregation to pray.Need to deal consistently with difficult Bible passages across our congregations.Weight of responsibility is good.Should not think I have to do it all.Should not compare ourselves; we are each uniquely gifted.Pulpit does not contain all gifts the church needs.Weakness of our model is for ministers to reduce expectations too far because of the congregation's involvement.Study of Word is healthy expectation (Instructions from Timothy).
