Please Note:
Holy Cow uses specific vocabulary to describe a church’s climate and culture that may be unfamiliar to others. If you are preparing a response that will be shared with your congregation or used to search for a Pastor, you may want to “translate” the Holy Cow wording into language that will be accessible and familiar to those others.
