The Tale of the Wondering Warden

Interesting that I would have mentioned the Meeting House yesterday as today I ran into a former COTM Warden who is now a member of that community. He described how disheartening he found leadership in the church. I explored why that was and his description reinforced my commitment to changing the way leadership is done in this parish. We make Wardens do all the crap that no one else wants to do. They have many of the worst burdens of ordained leadership but none of the sense of ministry to balance it. They have poor supports and little training. I've got to make some bold changes in how we do leadership if I want to further the ministry of this place. God help me!
