Just a quick note about Kingdom verses church: Based on what Jesus taught and the ministry He lived, there is no kingdom role for a church pastor.
It seems to me that if we are going to recalibrate, we are going to have to come to grips with the reality that the role of congregational pastor has no root in the Gospels or even in the New Testament after the time covered by the Gospels. In both time frames, humanly speaking, the story centered on Apostles.
The pastor/parish priest is a human invention.
