A priest [pastor] is someone willing to stand between a God and a people who are longing for one anothers love, turning back and forth between them with no hope of tending either as well as each deserves. To be a priest is to serve a God who never stops calling people to do more justice and love more mercy, and simultaneously to serve people who nine times out of ten are just looking for a safe place to rest. To be a priest is to know that things are not as they should be and yet to care for them the way they are. - Barbara Brown Taylor (Protestants believe in the priesthood of all believers so were all fellow ministers - and so, IMO, what she said applies to us all). - Roger Wolsey
