Phil had been a pastor at the same church for 32 years. He was well liked and respected
in the community and in his church. He was the "elder statesman" among the clergy in
his small city. He recently spoke to the ministerial fellowship to an ecumenical group of
pastors. Following his talk, there was a time for questions.
A young pastor asked Phil, "How do you keep fresh and loving with the same group of people year after year?"
