I first read this article over ten years ago, and it is never far from my mind. Clergy Killers by G. Lloyd Rediger first appeared in the August 1993 issue of Clergy Journal. In it, Dr. Rediger deals with the phenomenon of "Clergy Killers", people who maliciously persecute clergy. A "Clergy Killer" is not someone who is merely needy, nor are they people who simply have a personality clash with their pastor. "Clergy Killers" are, in a word, evil. They are people who maliciously set out to undermine church leadership and then, when they have accomplished that goal, go in for the kill. They have destroyed many good ministers and many good churches.
Just because you may be operating in a "non-traditional" ministry does not make you immune to these people. Read and learn.
