Over the weekend I hear a retiring minister thank a lot of people.
Somewhat surprisingly, someone he was grateful towards was a person who supported his family, but was relatively unconnected to much of the ministry he provided.
And, ideally, everyone in ministry needs someone who is willing to support then with minimal skin in the game.
They're on no committees...
They're on no rosters...
They aren't a gatekeeper of the church...
To most, they just appear as someone who faithfully fills a pew every Sunday.
Due to their distance, they're able to provide a relatively clean slate and removed perspective with thef minimal possibility of an agenda.
And this is their greatest strength.
