is candor possible for a pastor?

The beginning of the blogspel of ken wilson. And my question, of myself, to myself, is whether and to what extent candor is possible.  See, I’m a pastor.  It’s a job that will knock all the edges off you if you’re not careful. It’s a job that will make you excessively cautious if you’re not careful, until you become one noxiously inoffensive lump.  Don’t tell anyone who you voted for, for example.  Watch your language.  Keep a lid on it.  So this will be interesting, if only to myself.

    fascinating. Candor from the habitually cautious is more interesting than from those who approach self disclosure as an extreme sport
