Quotes by John P. Burgess  (?)

“Pastoral isolation intensifies uncertainty about what really matters. While most pastors are constantly in touch with people, opportunities for deep fellowship among pastors are rare. Isolation appears even more intense when we remember that pastors need theological friendships to sustain them and hold them accountable to the gospel. Too few pastors gather on a regular basis to encourage and build up one another in the gospel. Pastoral loneliness contributes to the personal and ecclesial disasters of sexual misconduct, alcohol abuse, and financial impropriety.”
John P. Burgess, A Pastoral Rule for Today: Reviving an Ancient Practice

“Christians are called to be Bible interpreters, but our interpretations must not be based simply on “what I want the Bible to say.” We need God’s Spirit to discipline our reading of Scripture.”
John P. Burgess, Confessing Our Faith: The Book of Confessions for Church Leaders

“The confessions matter, because they “guide the church in its study and interpretation of Scripture, . . . summarize the essence of Christian tradition, . . . direct the church in maintaining sound doctrine, [and] equip the church for its work of proclamation” (G-2.0100).”
John P. Burgess, Confessing Our Faith: The Book of Confessions for Church Leaders
