For those of us who remember the "glory days" of Christian music, Keith Green is a familiar name. But Green was more than just a gifted musician: He and his wife also headed up a publishing ministry in Texas. They published a gorgeous magazine that contained some truly excellent articles on Christian living.
The magazine is no longer with us, but the articles remain. You can see copies of some of their most popular articles at:

Clergy Killers
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.
