[Cronos]

the church also tends to reflect the personality of its pastor, -- it should not. The Church's pastor is Jesus Christ. The ministers in front are ministers. They come and they go. Some are good at preaching, some at listening, some at ministering, some at meditation. We should not expect the pastor to be a superman and have all of these qualities in one person.

This is true. I stated what usually occurs to a strong degree, as the hearers of the word tend to look for its interpretation by how the preachers of it manifest it in their lives and actions - which is what constitutes what one really believes, not necessarily profession. (Ja. 2:18)
