What Is a Pastor For? Leader/Entrepreneur/Change Agent — Or Shepherd of Souls?

From an email—shared with permission—from a fellow elder after reading Mark Galli's Christianity Today article "Why We Need More 'Chaplains' and Fewer Leaders":

I have read hundreds of articles but I can't remember when one moved me like this one. I wanted to write you immediately but I was so overcome with my emotions that I wasn't able to. It happened again when I tried to explain it my wife. I believe it was because my mind was flooded with all the men who had cared for my soul over the years. God bless them! May their tribe increase. May God in his grace raise up more men like them.
