Unfortunately it was very hard to follow as it kept shutting off. i tried everything i know , which is not much!
i f I have got it right she is saying that a minister is not a social worker or a recreational organiser , but must, first and foremost ,be a spiritual example and guide.
This takes effort dedication and a strict sense of priority,and attention to their own understanding and spirituality and she is absolutely correct .
i am glad that your flock includes ” the people of the blog”
