As a single and divorced man, it took Pastor Duke Taber eight years and more than 185 rejection letters before finding a congregation that would consider him as leader of their church. Even after three years as the lead pastor of a small church in Pine Haven, Wyo., Taber said he still gets his “feathers ruffled” when someone attaches a stigma about singles.
“Honestly, I got a little frosted at a comment made by my friends concerning their pastoral search and the fact they wouldn’t consider a single pastor,” said Taber, who writes the popular blog, “Small Town Preacher – Big Time God.”
