It is not only the work of preaching,the calling and administrative duties that weary down the pastor but the physical wearingness, the nervous exhaustion that results from strained relationship between him and his congregation.  When there is misunderstanding, lack of understanding and even opposition involving honest differences of opinion, the pastor feels the pressure. The pastor of course could never dream to satisfy everyone, that is the simple truth.  This awesome of our reactions to our pastors: If he is young-he lacks experience If he is old-he cannot identify with the youth If he has five or six children-he has too many If he has none or one-he is setting bad example If he preaches from note-he is dogmatic and his services are dry If the services are extemporaneous-he is not deep enough If he uses illustration-he is neglecting the bible If he does not involve stories-he is not clear If he condemns wrong-he is playing holier than thou attitude If he does not -he is a compro...

EASTER HOMILY Preached by the Most Reverend Robert Duncan at the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh Vigil, in St. Peter's Church in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, on Easter Eve, 7th April, A.D.2012.

In the moment, Joseph of Arimathea was moved to give his own freshly hewn tomb, which was, St. John tells us, very near to the Place of the Skull. Nicodemus, John tells us, had given spices, but Jesus' own inner circle had not been able to care for his body in the customary...

Dear President GEJ,  I voted for you in the Presidential Polls and was branded different names for doing so. But I wanted your promised 'breath of fresh air'.   Even now, I have been called to remember what they told me then that.   #1. You cannot honour your words/agreements - now, though there were protests against it, your administration promised to so implement it in April. But you have disregarded your initial arrangement and implemented the Subsidy removal in January.  #2. I believe there is a cabal that is making fortunes at the cost of the Nation via the Subsidy and its removal will be beneficial to us all. But this should have been done when and only when the necessary arrangements to cushion the after effects of subsidy removal have been put in place.  The Refineries should all be working at a hundred percent.  The private refineries (licensed/yet to be licensed) should have started operations. The rumoured transport arrangements by your administration ought to ha...
