This blog may be controversial. My basic argument is that the primary role of the pastor or elder in the church is edification not evangelism.
The apostle Peter wrote in 1 Peter 5:1-2, “To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow-elder…Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care”.
The King James Version of the Bible renders it like this, “the elders which are among you I exhort…feed the flock of God which is among you”.
