Are televangelists not pastors?

Usually not, but you used a BIG brush when you painted ALL the pastors.

All of the televangelists that I am familiar with are pastors. Do you have examples of ones who are not?

The televangelist brush I used encompasses all of the Protestant pastors that I have encountered during my life, with the exception of a few Anglican and Lutheran pastors.

I guess the LABEL may fit, but the FUNCTION wouldn't.

Their organizations are WAY too big for them to 'pastor' and those duties are left to the underlings.

(The 'star' of the show may descend from time to time to attend more, ahem, important parishoners...)

Protestant services generally aren't - they are a praise of the pastor.

You need to get out more!
