When computers made their way into workplaces, in the 1980s, typists had a problem. As computers replaced traditional typewriters, the skills of typists who did not know how to work with a word processor grew obsolete. Nevertheless, few would argue that information technology permanently increased unemployment. Although the unemployment rate did spike in the 1980s, it eventually went back down again, so the average unemployment rate in the 1990s was similar to the rate in the 1970s.

I love pastors. I haven’t been a pastor throughout my career. In fact, I spent most of my career to this point in the business world. (I realize this makes me an odd duck in many pastor circles, but it’s actually served me well in my ministry roles.) But, even before I was in ministry – I loved pastors. Coming into ministry later in life, after being a church member, deacon and Sunday school teacher, has given me a unique perspective.
