In The Interim The Sharing Session

After the deacons announced plans to hold a meeting to discuss why people are still upset about the events surrounding the departure of a former pastor, one of them said, “You sure are brave.” It was a joke, of course, but it did indicate that Baptists were not able to deal with controversial issues in open sessions. I, of course, disagree. We Baptists may be different—some say “odd.” We put our pulpits in the center of the sanctuary where some churches put altars. We call our chief ministers “Preacher” because his/her job is to talk—to God and to the people. This is evidence that we, in some measure, are committed to the spoken word of God and man. We may be odd, but we are right in this regard. Talk is powerful. Talk can create; talk can destroy. Talk can break a heart; talk can mend a heart. Talk can build up; talk can tear down. Talk can clear up; talk can cloud. There is always a risk involving the use of talk since it can go both ways, but communicating with each other is the way to go when there are differences to be resolved. Also, when the differences are important to the whole body, the talk is best done in a gathering of the body. Case in point is our recent meeting. The deacons provided this opportunity for persons who were still bothered by the ending of Ronn McCracken’s ministry at Knightdale Baptist Church. The meeting was called a sharing time. The context was worship. The aim was dialogue; talking. Listening, and learning. Our prayer was that sharing openly with one another would help us to put this issue behind us and move on. I believe the meeting was successful. Please allow me to say why I think so. Some shared their hurt at suddenly learning of the pastor’s leaving. Everyone spoke graciously and honestly to one another. There seemed to be general agreement that the church as a whole felt excluded from the ending time. A phrase frequently used during our T-Team Town Hall meetings was, “We couldn’t find out what happened before and we still don’t know.” The resignation of the pastor at a Wednesday night prayer services was a surprise to everyone, including, the deacon chair (she learned about it one hour before the meeting). When questioned, the pastor declined to answer and referred the group to the deacon chair who was not prepared to respond to questions. Both the church leadership and the pastor have indicated that they were acting to protect the church from controversy. Why has the disturbance persisted so long? I believe one reason is that the congregation has not had an opportunity to face it in an open forum before now. However, I believe that the main reason is that the event resulted in an erosion of trust. Trust between leaders and people suffers when the people feel that secrets are being kept from them or they are being deprived of information they have a right to have. Please note that I said “feel,” I am in no way suggesting that this is what deliberately happened or did not happen. I note several things going forward.

1. Proper closure of important relationships should always be carefully observed. 2. Trust is absolutely necessary between leaders and people and must be carefully tended. 3. Past events can be regretted, remembered and learned from, but they cannot be done over. They cannot be rectified nor explained to everyone’s satisfaction. We release them to God. We ask and receive God’s forgiveness for our part in messing up or causing pain and with new learning move forward.

As you can tell, I am an advocate of talking it up. We can say things that are positive to one another with positive results. We can bear one another’s burdens with apples of gold from pitchers of silver. And we can learn to trust each other even though sometimes that trust is betrayed. That’s life at its best. See you Sunday. God bless!

Pastor Search Committee Update

Transition Team we will be asking you to complete a “Pastoral Leadership Expectations Profile” in the next few weeks to assist us when we begin to narrow our candidates down to the ones we will interview. We are currently beginning to prayerfully read and consider the resumes we have received. This process of prioritizing candidates will go on well into the summer

We have completed the stage of advertising for the position of lead pastor by placing announcements in various publications, on web sites and with compatible organizations. Our deadline for receiving resumes is July 1st and the response has been great with around 75 resumes received by the end of May. In cooperation with the

as a great amount of information must be considered. We realize that you want us to work to call a new pastor as soon as possible but we must be patient and allow God to lead us in this process. Please be in prayer for our committee, the church and the candidates who have submitted resumes that God will act in a “mighty way” to lead us to call a pastor.
