Recently I had the honor of being selected to me a member of a 8 person team that will be selecting a new head minster for our church. To be honest I never thought that I would get the votes. Someone asked me if it was alright if they put my name forward, and I said sure. I maybe should have given it more thought.
The reason that I was desired to me on the committee was the fact that I am a rarity in my church, and most churches in North America. I am am both young and involved in the church. Most people once they hit the age of about 18 drift away, and maybe come back when they have kids of their own. I on the other hand have not followed that path. Now at the age of 25, I am still in school, unmarried, and more involved in the church then most people twice my age.
I do not want people to misunderstand. I feel that my being on the selection team is a very good thing. I have a point of view that few others will have, and with that hope to be able to help steer the church, by way of it's new leader, down a road that will make it great again. It is just I wish that it did not need to be me. That is something I am sure that many people who find themselves in roles like I am in now. They know that they work they do is of the greatest importance, but wish there was someone else who could do it. To be honest it is the people who really really want to have this kind of job placed on them that worry me. Those are the kind of folks that do things for their own motives and not for the good of the whole.
