In reading recent headline about a local minister -- a senior pastor tape recording a meeting of a local ministerial association meeting, I cannot believe a minister did this.
Do I now dare to talk to my local pastor for fear that if I said the wrong thing he will release it to the local paper? How dare he do such a thing? The church forever has steadfastly kept silent about these matters told in confidence, and I feel that the same rules apply to local pastors when they meet. You cannot violate items of this nature.
Any clergy of the church violating such conversations makes me more than just a little upset. Who can I turn to when in a time of need? Do I have to worry when he might tell someone else? This is not a political thing. This is a holy man playing tattle tale. Wow, have we really dropped our morals or what?
