Our 15th Anniversary: Backward and Forward

Being a pastor of a congregation our size also has been the happiest pastorate I have had in 54 years of ministry. Large churches are more stressful than small churches, and greater numbers of people in worship invariably affects the nature of worship. Things are more casual here than they were even in Bayfield, Wisconsin, where there were almost a hundred in attendance each Sunday, or Warren, Ohio, where there were about seventy-five. I can honestly report to you that it is almost a totally unmitigated pleasure and not at all a burden to be the pastor of The Chapel Without Walls!
