Welcome to Pastors Are People, Too!

Hello! My name is Emily and I have created this blog for many reasons. Throughout seminary and in the time since, I have realized that many people (agreeably not all) find it hard to understand not only the lingo that we in the ministerial world use (understandably!), but more importantly do not recognize that we are people, too: women and men who do typical, normal things, like take vacation, work way too much, have the occasional beer, etc.

This blog is not for ranting, I hope to assure you of that. It has come from many conversations with many people, hoping to bridge this unknown gap, answer questions, and encourage dialogue.

While the posts will be respectful, I ask that the comments also stay respectful. This is not a place for theological debate, but may raise questions for dialogue. No two people have exactly the same viewpoint, and that, too, is to be respected. God's grace abounds!

Peace,

Emily
