Pastor General

By Judson Poling

Dave and Penny have an appointment with the pastor of the church they recently visited for the first time. He comes off somewhat firm at first, though he does impress them by remembering their names. They soon discover his military-like style is just the tip of the iceberg: he is a virtual dictator in his church. He "goes by the book"-which is the book he wrote. He has a church organizational chart-with him at the head in a big box and everybody else in a small box under him. When he forces his aging secretary to give him 20 push ups for forgetting to bring cream for the coffee, Dave and Penny flee. This is a broad satirical look at controlling-style leadership-which for some is painfully too close to reality!Topics: LEADERSHIP, CHURCH LIFE, SERVING OTHERSCharacters: 2 MALES, 2 FEMALESParticipants: 4Author: Judson Poling
