What Is Required Of A Pastor?

 

‘A man must himself be cleansed, before cleansing others:
himself become wise, that he may make others wise;
become light, and then give light:
draw near to God, and so bring other near;
be hallowed, then hallow them;
be possessed of hands to lead others by the hand,
of wisdom to give advice.’

Gregory of Naziansus, Oration, 2.71
