A reader wrote this:
Ironically, as the LutherQueasy thugs were debating whether you are a real pastor or preacher or whatever, the same day I read this in Gems:
34. The precedent of Stephen holds good. His example gives all men authority to preach wherever they can find hearers, whether it be in a building or at the market-place. He does not confine the preaching of God’s Word to bald pates and long gowns. At the same time he does not interfere with the preaching of the apostles. He attends to the duties of his own office and is readily silent where it is the place of the apostles to preach.
