If you do not have a leader for a group, there is no one to represent the congregation. The occupy wallstreet people have no leader, and therefore do not know completely what they are about, because they are there to be a mob. We have pastors to mentor us, to help us grow, and to be an insrument of the Holy Spirit. At least, that's been my experience in a Christian church. =)
What else can I help you with?
Should a pastor control the church in every thing?

Can a pastor of a non for profit church ask a member of the church to please move out of town?
WHAT?! No, a pastor of ANY church cannot ask someone to move out of town and any good, Christian pastor would never do that! The only thing a pastor may do is if he feels that a member of a church has committed a bad sin and will not confess, the pastor can have the church vote on it and the person may be asked to leave the church, but NO PASTOR can kick someone out of town and if that is what's happening, than that pastor is not a good, Christian pastor and he should be reported to the head of the district for whatever denomination his church is.
