I don't say that as an attack on larger Churches and their pastors. I agree with the thought that you have quoted by Miller. I think that nurturing a true compassion and intimate concern can not be delegated. This might be the best we can hope for in a larger context. However, I think that some how we must confront an essential characteristic of being a shepherd is knowing his sheep. This seems to go beyond knowing them in general.Perry McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894561540566017903noreply@blogger.com
