I prefer a small church where the Pastor is really dedicated to his belief and church and as we use to say in the old days "spreading the word". On the last Sunday of the District Conference in a particular religion they would read the "Appointments" which indicated which church a Minister would be assigned to. In some cases that is the first time you heard where you were moving to. Even as children's we would watch the politics play out by some to get the larger appointments, larger churches, bigger salaries. And some would just want to preach and asked for the church that was a challenge to keep alive. I always respected them for their dedication. When I see a minister in a small church working to maintain the church with suppers, various activities to raise funds for the church to survive I am in awe of their dedication. How do I know of this, because I was a child of one of the dedicated preachers.
