In conjunction with our most recent print issue of Leadership Journal, which explores The State of the Pastorate, we’re featuring a series of personal essays by pastors answering one question: what is the current state of your pastorate?
Each entry represents the unique viewpoint and concerns of an individual pastor in a particular context. While the accounts may vary, all represent the current state of God’s work in the world through his church and those who lead it.
