RANK IN THE CLERGY
In case you don’t think rank still exists about various members of the clergy — consider this true story that came from a former staff member of the large Lexington Chapel in Lexington, Massachusetts (via his mother-in-law). It was summer and Pastor Gordon McDonald was on vacation. On this particular day the Associate Pastor also happened to be away. Warren Schuh, the C.E. Director was the only pastor on duty. A phone call came into the office from a non-member asking to speak to the pastor. The secretary informed the lady that the pastor was not available. She asked for the Associate Pastor. She explained that he wasn’t there either. Trying to be helpful, the secretary suggested “Would the Director of Christian Education do?” The caller paused very briefly and replied, “No, I don’t want to go that low,” and hung up.
