You beat me to it. Perhaps this guy needs to find another line of work. When a sheep disappears from the fold, a good shepherd will at least look for it. I'm not sure what this guy thinks is more important that keeping track of the spiritual well being of his flock, but with under 100 active members - 40 or so families - he ought to be able to personally touch base with each one at least once a month.
I think those days are long gone, at least in larger Churches. Large Churches are impersonal, no matter what, IMO. Small Churches are best, both for Pastor and Congregation.
One knows for sure that one's Church knows he or she is 'gone' when the contribution envelopes stop coming.
