Reflections on a year of scandals

John Samuel

With disappointing regularity Christian leaders from the conservative evangelical world fall from grace. True, the great majority of such leaders do not fall. It is those who fall who hit the headlines.

I have been the son of a pastor from the day I was born and a pastor myself for the last 30 years and more. The conservative evangelical world is my world and I feel these things deeply from the inside.

Dear Sir,

Is true corporate Reformation worship necessarily liturgical? Must it incorporate the reading of the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer and the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds?

Retiring pastors

John Samuel
Date posted: 1 Oct 2018

Dear en,

I enjoyed reading John Benton’s stimulating article about pastors and whether to stay or go on retirement. My father was a pastor who faced this issue and I, too, am a pastor who has now passed the age of 60.
