Professional religious leaders are an anachronism in a secular culture. Even our congregations wonder about us. Contemporary Christians are affected by the secular nature of our world more than they may realize. By calling, by training, and quite often by personality type and interests, we pastors are different. We work and speak for God in a world that recognizes no God, a world in which it is not politically correct to speak openly of God. Increasingly, we are pushed to the margins. What is a Christian pastor in our society? Who are we in churches of the last part of the twentieth century?
