I can't find it what I do find is the position of overseers and that is found alway in a plural sense meaning many. So it is not a one man show, that one man show goes back to the 2 & 3 century and find its roots elsewhere not in Scripture. So some might be thinking but but what about the book of Timothy were it talks about a overseer/elder/pastor and getting paid. The real meaning of that word in the original language has nothing to do with money only honer or respect. We also have to keep one thing straight and that is Paul was a Apostle not a Overseer/Elder/Pastor. We must also be-careful of cherry picking the Word and change the intended message (and words) of the author to prove our 20th century ideas of what we think is the church is.

Your post brought up a lot of questions/situations that need to be answered/worked out/talked about. I have never been in full time ministry but I have been a committed, active church volunteer (who got burned out) and I have a pretty good idea of how much work there is to do in a church community - so I really relate to everything you wrote. I think one of the problems is that we have too many people doing only a little bit of the work and too few people doing a lot of the work. I think the transition into something new is going to take some time. However, when I read about the community that Jonny Baker described and that he has been a part of for 14 years I am encouraged and hopeful.
