Consecrated2God -> Funny fake job posting (from Simple Church) (4/29/2008 12:53:04 PM)

I just finished reading "Simple Church" by Thom S. Rainer and Eric Geiger. It's a really good book. If you've read it, you can discuss what you think of the book itself here in this thread.

However, if you haven't read it, there is a really funny story that Eric Geiger tells about when he was doing research for his book. He and some of his buddies put up an add on churchstaffing.com as a joke. They made a position for a fictional church called "Main Event Church" and advertised for the position of "Pastor of Extreme Worship Arts". They designed the qualifications of the candidates to be so contradictory that no one person could possibly fit them all. It is hilarious. The sad thing is that they actually had people take them seriously and apply for the job.

Here is a portion of the "advertisment":

Main Event Church is seeking an exceptional leader to be our Pastor of Extreme Worship Arts. We believe the right person will be a unique fit for such a time as this. This person will serve under the Senior Pastor, and will oversee all areas of worship. Candidates must embrace the Senior Pastor’s vision of aligning all people of all denominations under the same vision. The person must also meet these requirements:

I thought it was funny and wanted to share. [:)]

We realize that many of these requirements are personal preferences and not biblical mandates. Therefore, each candidate must be aligned with roughly 3/4 of all our requirements.

......... lol!

Ya know... through my job hunting efforts, I've come across some doozies!

...... like the list was a mile long... and then you get to the pay... $20,000 a year???

I can have a more effective ministry being a cashier for more money at Wal-mart! [&:]

Maybe I could find a better job if I sharpen my snake handling skills.... [;)]
