Anyway, I can see the issues with this. When I think of preacher, I think of a man of god, committed to god, to doing his work, spreading the word, and caring for the flock (and those not even in the flock). It just seems strange to me that someone would leave being a pastor, yet still be 100% percent committed to their beliefs (the same they had while being a pastor). Maybe it is because I believe that being a pastor is the highest calling for a deeply religious person, that stepping down is actually a step down.
