    Priest in UK Spreads Vulgar Sermon [Article recommended for ages 17+]

    This one does not even need an AI summary. A priest by the name of Fr. Thomas McHale (American residing in UK) preached on Good Friday, that Jesus had His plantain enlargen during the crucifixion (keeping it clean here). Gross. Sadly, this creepy priest was not removed from the church. We should...

    Is it wise for a founding pastor to leave a young church?

    There's a church in my area that I attended for a couple of years early in my faith. I left not over sin issues or arguments, but needing to make things right and needing accountability. I know several people who attend there still, and just recently, the founding pastor at the church, the lead...

    Hello, I pray you are well. My questions are based on what might be universally agreed on, on the subject of the unpardonable sin. This is NOT a post asking what the unpardonable sin is; this post is different. I have a decent understanding of what I believe the unpardonable sin may be at this...

    Would love to talk with someone

    Hello, I pray you are well. I am looking for a pastor, or someone extremely knowledgeable and filled with God’s Grace, who can assist me. I feel well on the path of righteousness, but something occurred about 1.5 years ago that has been a thorn in my side. The fear arises from this thorn every...

    Dealing with my married pastor

    I need some advice from my fellow Christians on what to do in this situation. I have belonged to a church with my husband for a couple years that we love dearly. The doctrine is sound and we can tell we’re growing at a much faster rate than any other church we’ve been to. Ever since I first met...

    I know a lot about the ELCA since I grew up in it and I still go to an ELCA church when I am able to get out to my home church now where I feel like I belong, but I was asked, and I don't know, do ELCA bishops of synods and such still have home congregations where they serve on Sundays? Or...

    Pastors who prey on teens for sex

    I wanted to make this thread for all of us to be warned. Don't trust guys just because they are a priest or pastor. You might think that with all the stuff about the catholic church, things have changed. They haven't. I've had my own experiences with Christian men who are supposed to be better...

    "My introduction" by Bruce Leiter

    I'm a retired pastor working on my fourth career in retirement. I was an English teacher and then a sales manager running away from God's call to be a pastor, a little like the prophet Jonah. Then, God sent me to seminary and to seven churches in twenty-seven years of ministry until he sent me...
