FAILING TO SHARE THE PULPIT and OUR CALL

I just want to thank the author. I have personally experienced pastor's insensitivities of one of Korean presbyterian congregation in Huntsville Alabama. He is the only one to be preaching and afraid someone who knows more than he does. Calling him brother is insult to him. Calling Plymouth Brethren church cult because he is threatened by his only pastorship unlike biblical model of plurality of elders (pastors). He is not listening to congregation although he is not well read. Listening to only his supporters to stay on the job. Most of the time pastors are imported outside and his desires and finishing seminary qualify for pastorship instead of congregation and other five things mention in the book. It's time to check psycological condition of pastors like we do check astronauts.
