to negativity about the previous minister and his wife.
We are new to our church, and it seems there were a few personality clashes with the last minister. I realise in 12 months the congregation will probably consider them perfect and us not so. But we are in the honeymoon period and can do no wrong at the moment.
However, I am trying to work out a way to hear what they are trying to say, without allowing them to bag out the previous ministers wife. After all, if they will talk about her like that, what is to stop them talking about me like that. Not that I care that much about me, but it just makes me wary of trusting someone who talks like that.
Anyway - seeking wisdom.
