John 10:16 is apparently not followed here, for a shepherd cannot have two flocks. This shepherd definitely has two flocks and is only ever at the church half the time. The pastor will recount stories of his past as a lawyer just as often as the Bible, when he's present to do so, but will scantly speak on matters relevant to current events.

And if you prefer a church that focuses more on keeping their tax status in the green than supplying their flock with the armor of God for the world we live in, then you'll feel right at home. Two stars for the children's program. When it's available, it's fantastic. It's almost as if the kids are the only ones being taught to walk with Christ, while the adults are left...
