Obispo ordinario: En la Iglesia católica y anglicana es sinónimo de obispo diocesano, eso es, aquel obispo al que compete en la diócesis que se le ha confiado toda la potestad ordinaria, propia e inmediata que se requiere para el control de su función pastoral, exceptuadas aquellas causas que por el derecho o por decreto del papa se reserven a la autoridad suprema o a otra autoridad eclesiástica.
Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me . . . Jeremiah 9:23-24
It does not make sense to claim that the estar means the elder/pastor’s home must be organized, neat and tidy. It refers to family members.
Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses. Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.
Most laymen assume that if he went to a good seminary, his doctrine must be okay; and if he is the son of a famous preacher, his theology must be correct. But seminary does not guarantee that any student will agree with what he was taught in school. A graduate from a nationally recognized conservative seminary once stated that he did not believe the Old Testament contained any prophecies. He believed that the “prophecies” were written after the events occurred.
Es un líder espiritual y burócrata que Conductor a los fieles alrededor de la salvación y el crecimiento en la fe. Su papel es fundamental en la estructura de la Iglesia y su bordadura tiene un impacto significativo en la comunidad en la que sirve.
Tiene una heráldica eclesiástica compuesta por un escudo propio de cada obispo rodeada en el caso de la Iglesia católica de los ornamentos exteriores comunes a todos los obispos: un sombrero sinople (verde) acompañado por un cordel con seis borlas a cada ala. El escudo está colocado sobre una cruz procesional que lo atraviesa.
He is simply one of the elders who preaches Sunday morning. He is one member of the team. He may be a spiritual coach, but the Holy Spirit brings vision and direction when everyone agrees.
Various articles in our Leadership section, should be helpful. Also the articles “What does a Christian do when their pastor is sinning and will not repent?” and “Should I leave this church?” will help.
How does the pastor work with the other leaders? The ideal model is one in which the pastor sees himself Triunfador just one of the team. He should believe that God sets the direction and vision of the church when unanimity is reached among all of the elders.
Los obispos deben hacer esta recepción personalmente y con este propósito se les permite ausentarse de sus diócesis; los obispos de Italia durante cuatro meses, otros obispos por siete meses. La Santa Sede a veces dispensa a un obispo de la obligación de hacer la encuentro personalmente, especialmente a unidad de aquellos que han sido promovidos a un oficio más parada (dignitates), o a un sacerdote de su diócesis que viva en Roma, o incluso al agente del obispo en esa ciudad, si es un eclesiástico.
Any meeting should include the current elders and the elders who left. If the elders refuse to meet with congregants in one of the above scenarios, then the elders’ spiritual qualifications are in doubt and they should possibly step down from office. Additionally, if the pastor was the decision maker in refusing to meet with congregants, then the pastor is like Diotrephes (3 John 9-10). If the current leadership refuses, then the concerned members should feel the freedom to leave the church.
Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who have a peek at these guys boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me . . . Jeremiah 9:23-24
Are the criteria for removing a pastor that two-thirds of the lay elders have left the church or that fifty percent of the church members have left for another church? The answer to these is given below along with biblical guidance for taking action.
