@RevRoss

"Minister" or "Pastor" sounds to much like a church word ...

I think of myself as a Spiritual Director and a Coordinator of Volunteer Ministries. I think this describes better what I do and has less of a negative connotation than "minister" or "pastor" or "reverend." ...

I am a Spiritual Director in many respects ... in that I study and interpret the Word of God (Bible) for a Christian Community (United Presbyterian) and I also deal with peoples' questions and problems as they search for meaning and God ...

I also do a fair amount of coordinating the church's program. My motto could be: "Pastor Ross Slaughter - saving the world one committee meeting at a time." (... just kidding ... sort of ...)
