Wow, what a description. My first thought was, this is really long, really long. My second thought was, is an 800 + church considered large? My third thought was, maybe it's good to be this descriptive. My fourth thought was, would I want to be a part of the Elder board...nah. My fifth thought was, should salary be based upon experience?

All interesting.
