This is a mistake. The retired pastor must leave the church. Sure, it is convenient for the retired pastor and family, but if one understands systems and power dynamics, it is very clear this creates problems. I hesitant to say this to people who love the Lord and the church, but to not leave the church this a selfish and immature decision. I am VERY sad to see this article in this blog.

What you describe is wonderful but it’s not the norm and usually isn’t a positive experience.
Thank you Mike
