A Well-Trained Border Collie

Sharing Options

“In this sense, an individual elder called as the minister may be considered the pastor, or shepherd, of a church. But if he remembers the pastoral authority of Christ and the pastoral responsibilities of the whole session of elders, he will not understand himself to be the sole shepherd of the flock. His role should be that of a well-trained border collie. There are shepherds above him” (Mother Kirk, p. 171).
