Sorry Puritan I wasn’t responding to YOUR post, but li0scc0’s. There is no contradiction in what I posted. The PASTOR is NOT the sole teacher in the church (Acts 13:1, etc). His job is to reduplicate himself so others can teach. Hopefully, others that pastored before him did the same and thus teachers are already established, et. al. Just because a pastor is not teaching a class DOES NOT mean he does not know what is going on in it (or at least it shouldn’t; however with the home church movement …).
