Hard to say. From my point of view, I wish all pastors would be fired and churches closed down. However, if a pastor had to be hired, I’d find the most liberal one possible. This guy is a pretty good candidate, knowing what I know about him now.

Maybe, but usually when people talk about the “American Baptists”, they mean the [American Baptist Churches, USA](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Baptist_Churches), aka the American Baptist Convention, aka the Northern Baptist Convention.

But I can definitely understand that guy being fired. Most places like ministers that don’t make themselves the center of attention.
