Thanks.<BR/><BR/>He's still mulling it over....er, I mean, prayerfully considering it. <BR/><BR/>Songbird, the reason my family stayed behind was because we only wanted to change congregations on the kids once. I am doing some pulpit supply around the Presbytery and I am worshiping regularly at the Presby church close-by. But you're right that this set up of the family staying behind wouldn't work at many churches, but this is an incredibly healthy congregation.<BR/><BR/>But this issue of my seeking another call means that he would likely only serve a partial term. He was up front with the nominating committee folks about that and he said that they didn't seem too concerned. Of course, because that would be another nom com's problem!Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036519649244011605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34916748.post-48025505230274784442007-09-20T13:28:00.000-05:002007-09-20T13:28:00.000-05:00wow, once again you have some good advice here. i...wow, once again you have some good advice here. i'll just say hello, <BR/><BR/>"Hello, Iris!

If they are going to church there, what are you doing? I would just wonder if it's wise for him to commit to something more when you might well want to find a church together as a family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235049965406944684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34916748.post-59047003696526425782007-09-18T23:00:00.000-05:002007-09-18T23:00:00.000-05:00i think it's wise for a spouse not to serve when t...i think it's wise for a spouse not to serve when the other spouse is the pastor... it does strain things. and for me i like the separation of work vs. home you know?<BR/><BR/>however now that it's different with your chaplaincy... if it were HubHC and me... we'd pray together about it and then truly i'd trust his gut and like you said i'd try (valiantly) to keep my nose out of it... good luck!Hot Cup Lutheranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125425492709186198noreply@blogger.com
