As a Christian and a member of the Church in Wales I am puzzled by ‘preachers are generally better if they worked outside the church before becoming part of it’.
Priests are not brought up in some enclosed order from birth and take Holy Orders at age 18. They are brought up and live in the real world, sons and daughters of parents from all walks of life.
Thinking of priests who are friends of mine one owned a shoe shop , one was a police officer, one a maths teacher, one a probation officer, one went to university, studied theology and psychology. In my own family Baptists not Anglicans, three worked in coal mines.
Every Christian knows God is their judge , Christ has told us this and how we should live our lives .
The Book of Micah tells us
‘ he hath shown thee oh man what is good and what doth the Lord require of thee ‘ but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God’.
