The World's Worst Sheep Dog

There's got to be some parallel here to pastors. Give me some time to think about it.

From The Telegraph:

Ci the Border Collie has developed a fear of sheep making it impossible for him to perform his day job...

Mrs Lippington, 54, said Ci instinctively wants to work the sheep, but is too scared.

"If they run away from him, he will go after them and act like a proper sheepdog, but the moment they turn and face him he runs away."

"Sheep can be quite aggressive if they think they have the upper hand – they stamp their feet and gang up in numbers and act like an army."

Check out the video here (via).

I'm glad you're willing to contemplate the parallels. The thought of doing so scares me. I'm running the other way.

There are no parallels. The story is simply a story of many pastors. Let's retell it as it really is meant to be told:Cy the pastor has developed a fear of church members making it impossible for him to perform his day job…Mrs Lippington, 54, said Cy instinctively wants to work for the church members , but is too scared.“If they run away, he will go after them and act like a proper pastor, but the moment they turn and face him he runs away.”“Church members can be quite aggressive if they think they have the upper hand – they stamp their feet and gang up in numbers and act like an army.”
