I have joked with a few people the last few days that it feels weird to have been dissolved. I guess it isn't me who is dissolved as much as my call as Associate Pastor will be dissolved (official PCUSA term) in mid-November when I officially begin the transition from pastor here to pastor at PCW in Ohio. Its a strange term and one that I wish could be spoken of differently, even in official parlance. Why not something more like "blessed in a new direction" or "commissioned to a new form of ministry" or something like that?
