::: The Kind of Pastors We Need

1. Be resourceful – often able to earn their own living
2. Communal shepherds – cultivators of community identity in mission
3. Interpretive leaders - funders of imagination thru scripture for what god is doing among us and around us
4. Directors of spiritual formation – shapers of places that shape our lives into christ and his mission
5. Leaders who give away power – dispersers of authority and leadership into the neighborhoods

The whole post is worth the read as Dave Fitch talks about the future of the North American church, suburban churches and cultural flexibility, and what to do about it.
