“Very little time in a priest‘s life is spent on ‘holy‘ things. Most of it is conflict management and resolution.”
Or, as a woman priest said in a sermon on ordination, “There are times when the church is like a swimming pool: all the noise comes from the shallow end.”
😂🤣😭
My church is in the middle of a pastoral transition, and I can‘t tell you how true this is right now. I texted this pic to my former pastor and her response was “Spot on!”
