Ben Reed’s article seems just a wee bit out of place for Thinking Anglicans like myself. Mind you, his article here does reflect the Baptist Church emphasis – 50 % of the pastor’s work load. One does wonder about the sacramental part of this ministry.

“If we mess up…God is upset with us. “

Hm, not entirely sure this person has reflected on the Incarnation……

Missing from my previous comment – on Ben Reed’s article – the word ‘preaching’ being 50% of a Baptist’s ministry. This leaves little time for pastoral and sacramental ministry.

The thing I found troubling about Reed’s article was the idea that he (and other Baptist ministers) work for God, while the rest of us work for our human employers.
