| Now that a 30 day sabbatical is now officially part of the Minutes, do any of you plan to take one |

| Maybe at least District pastors should start suggesting that the churches that actually can, set aside $10-50 a week for a Sabbatical fund. More as the idea catches on, and the importance of same is realized. I think it is a VERY important action for a church, for their own well being as well as the pastor Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| Little late for some of us but I am glad the measure passed.I don't know if 30 days would have helped me. It has been over a year now and I still have some issues. I love the Lord! He has been good to me and I am thankful for His blessings but I will tell you my mental and physical and |

| If so, then those who work at HQ could take their sabbatical in November or January and really have a lot of time off since the office there is closed the majority of December. |

| Ouch.Hopefully it is for the pastors that can't get away from their local church.If it is for guys that are on staff at the HQ - that can already leave their tasks with someone else while they go on vacation - then it would be once again a huge waste that benefits the wrong folks |

| Of course IMHO, this is for the pastor who NEEDS some time away from the daily requirements of pastor. I do not think it would have helped in my situation. I wasn't burned out, I reckon the old time name for my problem was I had back-slid. But at least I did not continue in a pulpit and try pt 'preach or teach' something I did not believe.Now that aside, the sabbatical would have probably saved my dad's life. BUT such a thing was not thought acceptable in the 1950-60 time frame. We believed if you hit bottom just pray more, do not run away from your problems, FACE -EM. I think now that many people are beginning to realize that a pastor is still on this earth and human. He can have a nervous breakdown or backslide. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| I’ve caught myself being rather negative today so I’ll apologize in advance As a rule, the people of God don’t do well when the man of God is alone on the mountain with God. They murmer, complain, fashion golden calves, and self-appointed leaders emerge. I’m afraid the average COG pastor who took a month-long sabbatical might come home to a dumpster fire. |
