FIGHTING THE WOLVES

There was a pastor of a local Church who was concerned about some unsavoury business outside his local school. His protests finally led to a court case and the opposing barrister tried to do everything he could to discredit the pastor.

"Are you a pastor?" the lawyer asked.

"Yes" came the reply.

The lawyer continued, "Does the word pastor mean shepherd?"

The minister replied "Yes it does".

The lawyer then said; "If you are a shepherd, why are you not out taking care of your sheep?"

The pastor replied, "I am caring for the sheep by fighting the wolves".
