Luke left Pastor Moses’ church about a year ago now, and after a lot of rejection from other church members and spending a lot of time walking with God outside of organised Christian religion, he’s come to think that the reason Pastor Moses never lived up the expectation and responsibility of being a caring, loving and personally involved pastor, is because it was actually never his Job. Luke has come to realise that Jesus truly is his pastor, and indeed he is the most wonderful, faithful and caring pastor he could ever have.

Eric of course, isn’t interested in Luke’s honest journey with God over the past year,  or how he came to understand that Jesus is his pastor; he just thinks it’s all a cheap cope out; something that only a backslider would ever say. But is that really the case?

Pastor Moses says with a passion that he loves his flock, that is until they leave his church, then he simply denies they ever existed and continues building the church….  John can’t help but question if this is really the kind of attitude his pastor should have?

When Luke randomly bumped into Peggy, his old worship leader, at the local supermarket, he was a little shocked at her reaction. Luke always thought their relationship was based on their mutual identity in Christ, he’s starting realise that it may have been more based on their mutual identity in their church program. Now that Luke has left, he is, well… non-existent in Peggy’s mind.

Only 3 days after Luke made the decision to leave the church, Pastor Moses is already working hard to convince everyone that Luke actually didn’t even exist!

His theory is that if Luke never existed, then there’s no reason to talk about him again or the reasons why he left the church… Eric seems to be a bit slow to catch on.
