Recently Leadership Magazine commissioned a poll of a thousand pastors. The pastors indicated that 12 percent of them had committed adultery while in ministry – one out of eight pastors! – and 23 percent had done something they considered sexually inappropriate. Christianity Today surveyed a thousand of its subscribers who were not pastors and found the figure to be nearly double, with 23 percent saying they had had extramarital intercourse and 45 percent indicating they had done something they themselves deemed sexually inappropriate. One in four Christian men are unfaithful, and nearly one half have behaved unbecomingly! Shocking statistics! Especially when we remember that Christianity Today readers tend to be college-educated church leaders, elders, deacons, Sunday school superintendents, and teachers. If this is so for the Church’s leadership, how much more for the average member of the congregation? Only God knows!
Put the chicken, beef, stock, bacon, thyme, and bay leaf in a large, heavy
pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30
minutes. Meanwhile boil barley in 1 1/2 cups water for 10 minutes. Drain
and set aside. Remove chicken for pot. When cool enoguh to handle, debone
and set aside. Add leeks and barley to the pot, and simmer 15 minutes.
Remove beef shanks and debone. Chop meat coarsely, and return to the pot,
along with the chicken. Simmer covered, for 5 minutes more. Season with
salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley.
