“Those who know him intimately call him ‘Pastor Keith’. That’s fine with me.”
Too new-agey for me. People who had been members in my dad’s or my uncles’ churches, and known them intimately for 30 years, would never ever be that disrespectful.
“Isn’t it Pope Francis’ after all?”
Using a pope as a baseline for what’s right is kind funny, especially in a discussion that is focused basically on evangelical and fundamental churches.
That’s his last name......lol
