Hello Pastor

Persecution of church leaders in the North American context does not come from outside the church. I have never yet had a church leader say to me, "I am quitting. The pagans are getting to me."

-- Reggie McNeal in The Present Future

Most pastors have been on the receiving end of calls like this.

Well, o.k. -- persecution is too strong of a word -- and we should be thankful. Our patience is being strengthened.
