Baxter on the need for a pastor to be able to oversee all the sheep of his flock:
"O happy Church of Christ, were the labourers but able and faithful, and proportioned in number to the number of souls; so that the pastors were so many, or the particular churches so small, that we might be able to 'take heed to all the flock.'"
Now, I don't post this because I'm 100 percent in agreement with Baxter at every point, but it certainly is fodder for thought. I'm particularly interested in his comment about "churches so small." Such a different angle...
Any thoughts?
