-> I grew up in that system.  My dad was on the selection committee a
-> couple of times (after I left home)--lots easier than the way it's done
-> in a Southern Baptist church.  We've some good friend in AZ; she's a PK,
-> he's a converted Catholic.  Our kids went to both the Methodist and
-> Baptist youth groups for a while, as did a bunch of their friends.
-> 
Grin, I grew up methodist, Anne's a catholic.
When we were first married we went to both
churches and belonged to the "young marrieds"
in both...oddly enough so did a lot of other 
"mixed marriages" .

-> I don't recall having any sort of dinner for the church to meet a
-> pastoral candidate tho. Usually when a pastor moved on, there was a pot
-> luck but a lot of the pastors stayed within the area.  The churches are
-> so small, that they had a couple, maybe 3, pastors serving several
-> churches.
-> 
When my grandfather was a young beginning 
pastor, he had a "circuit" which covered a large 
area in Tennessee, Kentucky and a wee bit of
Virginia. Evidently there was a great shortage
of pastors back in the early part of the century.
By the time I arrived, he was well established and 
highly respected and usually was at some of the 
best churches in the region around Memphis. 
chat with you soon!
