The cartoon ministry of the "Naked Pastor"

I've shared a couple of cartoons lately on social media by David Hayward, a Canadian who describes himself sometimes as "a graffiti artist on the walls of religion."

Hayward spent some 30 years as a pastor of conservative Presbyterian and Vineyard congregations before withdrawing from the ordained ministry and devoting his devolved attention as the "Naked Pastor" to gently skewering, and/or poking fun at, organized Christianity.

No, he's not gay --- although the church's response to LGBTQ+ folks is among his favorite topics.

Anyhow, here's a bit of commentary on the response to change in general found in many denominations and congregations that I thought appropriate for a Sunday morning.
