This was my final practicum meeting with Pastor Kaye.
We spent the majority of the time recalling what had occured during the past semester and developing major comcepts which I felt I had learned during that time.
I think that the greatest lesson I learned throughout the semester was that the ministry in general gets kind of a bad rap. By that I mean to say that most people have a very narrow scope of what a pastor does throughout any given week. The schedule that Pastor Kaye keeps would wear down many executives from the sheer pysical demands, let alone the emotional and spiritual drain that is placd on a senior pastor on a daily basis. From this I havd come to the conclusion that a pastor must have a strong support network of peers as well as a concrete plan as to how to maintain their sanity through the demands they must meet.
