Pastor Without a Pulpit

I've though long and hard about changing the name of this blog. After all, I am no longer a pastor, at least not in the conventional sense. I may be one in the not so distant future, I don't know, but currently I am a pastor without a pulpit.

Or am I?

I friend reminded me this morning that there are people who are reading my blogs that may not attend church. And there are others who attend church but at times find something lacking in the traditional concept of church. There are others who attend church and absolutely love it in its entirety, but may come to my blogs looking for something a little extra. To some of you, perhaps I am still a pastor.

In addition...

I have been having dinner every so often with a good friend who has an unconventional ministry, he pastors pastors, in truth I don't know if he would consider it a ministry or not. He has a group of pastors that he communicates with, sometimes one on one, sometimes in larger numbers, and he pours into us, in part by letting us unload on him. [Believe it or not, a pastor usually doesn't have many people to confide in] My friend was telling me of another pastor friend of his who has been having difficulty with the whole 'church' thing. He told me that this guy has a group of people that has come around him, and that is where he is often most alive. My friend told me that he told this other guy, that is where you have church. And this, is where I currently have church.

So...

I guess what I am trying to say is that the title stays the same, because I may not have a physical pulpit I stand behind currently, but the keyboard does just fine.

Peace and Love,
Pastor K
