Although we don't have a female staff person, the church was open to looking at a female for my position. We have a full-time female director of preschool and children's ministry. Austin, Texas, probably is more moderate than most cities. I'm sure there are female ministers here. More interpersonal relationship building.
Administration is good, but dealing with people is better.
I know a lot more than I can get people to do. As a pastor I would certainly agree with the need for good people skills. I also would focus more on the Christian discipline of prayer and meditation. I have found out that prayer is very essential to the life of the church. We talk it but do very little of it, except for Aunt Bessie's toe.
