Pastors as Priests and Prophets: Bishop Budde's Challenge to Trump

Church Potluck: A Smorgasbord of Christian Curiosity

Navigating the roles of pastor as both priest and prophet presents a unique dynamic within church ministry. Our panel, all pulpit preachers, explores the complexities of speaking truth to power, particularly in light of recent events surrounding Bishop Budde's remarks at the National Prayer Service. Through this discussion, we examine the balance of comfort and challenge within the pulpit, the role of civic religion, and the importance of building relationships within the congregation.
• Discussion on the dual role of pastors as both priest and prophet
• Examination of Bishop Mary Ann Budde's sermon and its implications
• Reactions to addressing public officials in worship settings
• The importance of relationship-building for effective ministry
• Encouraging empathy in the congregation amidst divisive socio-political issues
• Reflections on unity, mercy, and the pastor's calling
