I was at a gathering of Baptist ministers today for one of our "districts" (a subset of the regional association!).
And I was struck that for all our longings for new ways of being church and new expresions - its not easy being a church leader!
Especially in a setting where you inherit traditions and structures that weren't designed for mission today.
I for one feel more resolved to pray for pastors and vicars even in "dying" churches - maybe resurections not far away?
