Fellowship
Fellowship
If you ever had any doubt, pastors do like to get together and talk! I was recently at a pastors' conference where pastors of the Minnesota District of the Wisconsin Synod gathered together. We talked, shared ideas, got to know one another better, and just in general enjoyed the fellowship of Christian brothers in the ministry.
But fellowship is more than just getting to know one another. It is more than sitting down with each other over coffee or a meal. When we talk about fellowship in the church we mean we share the same faith in Jesus, our Savior, the same trust in the sacraments, and more. In fact, it means we hold to the same faith in everything the Bible tells us because it is God's Word. This applies to our members as well as pastors.
