Your pastors love you (taken from the Mars HIll Blog - TopicsExpress



          

Your pastors love you (taken from the Mars HIll Blog announcing closure of campuses) Ive noticed a pattern in the official Mars Hill communiques. They strategically plant this phrase inside of difficult news. I have to say that as a former pastor and church planter myself I find the usage of this phrase creepy, manipulative and parental. It reveals an emotional immaturity in the leaders. The fact that they need to resort to reminding people that your pastors love you indicates a shallowness and frankly fear that people dont actually believe this.They also telegraph a warning as in, dont even think that anyone else could ever be your pastor. It reminds me of people who wear buttons telling the world that I HEART my husband. Frankly when I see that I read... I DONT LOVE my husband and Im scared that unless I wear this button I might actually get that divorce Ive been fantasizing about.
