Our church is going through a really difficult time right now. I am in a new position as elder and am finding out that there is a lot of backstabbing going on. Our pastor was having some personal problems and instead of rallying around them, the church has done nothing but push them out the door and find fault with them. I feel just because a pastor is in a leadership position does not make them less human and just as the church would have rallyed around a member they should have given the pastor a leave of absence and nurtured them as a church should. I am so disappointed that I am going to church with hypocrits. Don't get me wrong, I am a sinner and fall WAY SHORT of being the person God wants me to be, but this situation has upset me more than anyone can ever know. Any ideas or have any of you been through something similar? How should I address this, if at all?
