The listener question we answer this week:
- Denny Dillman from Henryville, IN asks, "'Pastor' is an office in the church, NOT a title. It is OK for people in my church to call me 'pastor'. Is it OK for anyone outside the church I serve to call me 'Pastor?' If I am speaking to the Rotary Club, should I be introduced as 'Pastor Denny?' Is there such a thing as a 'Community Pastor'?
(These are questions driven by a concern for the overuse of the word 'Pastor.')"
