Pastor's don't want to hurt people's feelings or dissapoint anyone. So they avoid tough decisions like these in favor of having another fellowship dinner. I'm a pastor myself so I'm throwing stones at my own glass house... Leadership often means that you make a decision before everyone else can see it's value. That’s exactly the reason.

I assume no one wants to be the guy that had to shut something down. I certainly wouldn't want that on my resume. But, that's leadership. I was so encouraged to hear from my pastor friend that he had been considering canceling the services. To me, that showed tremendous courage in the face of potential personal detriment, because of how it looks. He's a great man though, so I wasn't surprised :-) Thanks for the link too! :-) Paul,
