It points out several problems in our training of pastors today, such as how to spell "pastor," as well as the use of capitalization and the placement of apostrophes.
But imagine what it would be like, as a skeptic or seeker, to approach a church entrance and see this sign on the door. Would it scare you or make you curious? And are there similar (if much less obvious) signs newcomers face when they enter our churches?
One my wife Liz saw on a church door in Scotland last weekend, after finding the doors securely fastened after arriving at only five minutes past the posted time for beginning of worship: "Church closed for services."
