Of course these things don't happen. The upshot is that the allocation of responsibility and accountability in the church becomes simply unclear. Third, such provisions corrupt in the minister's relationship with every individual congregant. Consider Congregant A, a fairly active member. Congregant A doesn't much like his boss, who reminds him of him critical father.
Alienation is just around the corner.
Consider Congregant B, a member of the church board. At work Congregant B is the boss, supervising middle managers. Consider, finally, Congregant C, who is being given a hard time by her boss, and who sees the board as giving the minister a hard time. The minister does ministry, a kind of work not quite like any other work, with functions not quite like the functions of other workers, for the sake of purposes not quite like other purposes. We come into our churches as distorted people, every Sunday of every year.
