Pamela Kaye Lewis joined Tonua Carano's groupHi, Pamela. Just read the post that you made within your group. Since the tools of the site do not allow posting into a group by an outsider, I thought I'd post directly to you just to express my joy at witnessing your excitemnt about discovering another insight that is helping you to make better sense of how God does stuff. And thanks for posting that acronym -- DNA! Great way to capture core truths of what we're about!
When you ask, "Do we need a Pastor?" , the thought came to me that maybe you actually answered your own question, in the affirmative! Yes, we need pastors! The two people whom you referenced as having been spiritual father/mother seem to have been exercising that role in your midst. Scripture seems to be pretty clear that pastors in our midst are God's design (Ephesians 4:11). Apparently we need them to grow into the likeness of Christ, and to extend His reign on earth! But they may not need an office near the foyer, with a sign-posted parking spot or state-approved ordination papers!
Blessings upon you and all the folks who recently came onto simplechurch.com with you!
